Saigon Sandwich

The Tenderloin is infamously known as an area that’s high in crime, drug use, and prostitution, which is no wonder why people tend to stay away from it.  However, it also houses many amazing food spots that hide away like diamonds in the rough.

One of those spots is Saigon Sandwich, which is arguably the best place to get a Vietnamese Sandwich in San Francisco.  Located off the corner of Eddy and Larkin, you probably wouldn’t even notice the shop if it weren’t for the line that comes out of it.

Once you make it in, you’ll be greeted by the smiles of some wonderful Vietnamese women who will promptly take your order.  In a few minutes, you’ll be back out the door with sandwich in hand.

What make the sandwiches from Saigon Sandwich better than any other Vietnamese sandwiches in the city are the size, quality, and price.  Compared to other sandwiches I’ve had in the city, the sandwiches from Saigon Sandwich are enormous.  Moreover, the quality of the meat they use is unparalleled.  It’s perfectly seasoned and tender, which makes it absolutely delicious.  Finally, at $3.50 a sandwich, it’s a price that beats the competition.

While I won’t deny that the Tenderloin isn’t the best neighborhood in the city, I’ll say that it’s not as bad as it seems, especially during the day.  If you’re feeling bold and are looking for an amazing, inexpensive lunch, stop by Saigon Sandwiches.
