Mekong Sandwich

I've had a lot of Bahn-mis and this is up there with the best. Veggies are fresh, perfect little kick from some thinly sliced jalapeño, bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. You know it's gonna be good when it's someone serving them from a kitchen connected to their home. $4 per is a steal. Cash only, took 15 minutes to have them made and there's a cool fish tank to look at while you wait! <3 <3

I have been knowing about this place since I was kids I love the place and the workers they are very friendly good hearted people and the food is delicious they’re one of a kind for real. You guys need to come here and eat.

Kind of hard to find but it's the best banh mi. Just have your cash ready. Well worth

Amazing Bahn Mi! Call in to order and when you arrive in 10-15 it will be ready! Great price as well.

Great sandwich, great price. Only 1 thing on the menu and it's done right.

A true gem of Des Moines. Rivals banh mi I’ve had in New York City. $6 for two sandwiches, you can’t beat it. Support this business

Wow, best in Des Moines, great value. Will be back!

Great spot to get delicious sandwiches at a very reasonable price.

Only one option on the menu but you won’t regret it. Delicious.

Delicious bánh mì for sure. $4/sub is amazing. It rivaled a lot of bánh mì I’ve had in Texas and California. Stop by and give it a try!

Great Bahn Mi! One type, window service, truly a "hole in the wall" which is where the best food is often found!

I miss the best Banh Mi Ga in the entire world. Not even Banh Mi Ga in Vietnam can come close to what I can get at Mekong Sandwich in Des Moines, Iowa. :)

Very interesting location, right out of a residential home. Service is very fast and simple. No menu needed, I just asked for "one banh mi" and that was it.

$4.00 per sandwich is such a great deal too. And it was a really good banh mi.

Do remember that it is cash only and take out only. Do check this place out, but be respectful as it is a home as well. Highly recommend!

Love this. One menu item. Cash only. Awesome.

Just buhn mi, that's it!
Easy to miss, it's a home, not like a business.
Delicious sandwich! I get 2 and eat em both.

Everything is prepared fresh when you order. Bread and fillings are all very good. I highly recommend you give it a try if you want authentic banh mi.

Best bang for your buck banh mi. Everything you want in a classic banh mi sandwich. Cash only.

A spot easy to miss, but worth seeking out! I'm not sure if they have anything other than banh mi, but I don't think I'd need to order anything else

Cash only. If you love Bàhn mí it’s hard to beat. $8 for two sandwiches.

These are the best Mekong sandwiches in the Des Moines area the family patriarch brought his receipt from Viet Nam. He first made them at Viet center on MLK. The family is now making them on 2nd Avenue. The only changes I see is the bread. I am sure the other sandwiches in DM are loyal to their area in Viet Nam but Mekong sandwiches are the first I ever had 25 years ago and they are what I use for my yardstick all over the US.

Absolutely delicious. What a treasure. Amazing banh mi sandwiches. Thank you.
