Mr. Sandwich

I come here often because I basically live across the street. I LOVE that they have VEGAN options!!! They have a separate menu for vegans. Their vegan curry dish is my favorite (pretty spicy)! I also like the spring rolls with the yummy peanut dipping sauce. I also get a mango smoothie with coconut milk from time to time and it’s delish! Staff has always been friendly and food is ready fast. This is a great spot :) pretty healthy too/​lots of veggies on the menu!

Kind staff and great location for a quick lunch between classes!

Will never order from this place again the owner was rude and our food was wrong and he doesn’t get it that we make sure he has a place keep going I had to tell him I were going to have to call my bank and let them take care of it since he refuses

Small expensive sandwiches. NOT GOOD!!!

Decent Bahn Mi but only decent. Lacking a lot of the flavor a Bahn Mi should have and very skimpy on the meat. I’m giving it 3 stars based on tea selection, price, and location. Haven’t tried the Phở here and not sure that I will but I’ll definitely grab another Bahn Mi from here when I’m in a pinch and get that craving.

FOOD: I’m a Vietnamese person who knows Vietnamese food. I wanted to give this place a try and ordered the chicken phở and a mango smoothie. The phở’s flavor was below average, contained too much fat/​oil, and was not served with any fresh chili slices or the proper portion of bean sprouts. The smoothie had very little mango and too much filler and lacked any real fruit taste, so I left over half of it at the table.
SERVICE: is counter to table where you walk up to order and your foot is brought to you. However, no one checks in on how you are doing and the staff is not very responsive even when you ask for things.
AMBIANCE: is sub par. While it is not all-​out dirty, I would not call this place clean either. Seating is somewhat limited and the parking lot can get full during rush periods when UNLV is in session.
VALUE: the phở and smoothie cost be over $ 11 and was not worth the price at all.

Seafood Noodle Soup $ 7.99
Curry Lamb with French bread $ 9.99
Durian smoothie $ 4
My wife and I came here for a quick lunch. We always pass by this place as its on the way to Seafood City where we grocery shop. My wife said her soup was bland and not worth the price. My curry lamb was good but you pretty much get meat, broth, and bread for 10 bucks. I was expecting at least some vegetables. I admit though that the curry broth was pretty good and so was the bread. The bread was very airy and light and perfect for using a sponge to soak up the broth. I would have rated this place 2 stars if not for the fact that they serve a lot of drinks (i.e. smoothies, lattes, slush, etc.). This is probably the first place I’ve been to in the U.S. that sold a durian drink so I had to try. They say that durian smells like old mushy onions in custard form. And boy, were they right! The drink was quite strong to say the least but I’m glad I tried it. I wanna come back and try their sandwiches with their bread…

This place is directly across the street from UNLV, and directly across from my specific college so it’s never a trek if I want to stop by. With that being said, after my first stop here, this place has never been a place I’ve chosen to go to, it’s just been more of a place I end up at due to circumstances. It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. It just sort of exists. The phở is slightly below average; the broth has no flavor and the sandwiches are about average. You’ll eat the meal, but nothing has ever stood out and made me want to return here. The staff has never been good or bad. They’ve never wowed me, but never been rude or unpleasant. If you’re at UNLV and you absolutely have to have phở or banh then they’ll do, but there’s entirely too many alternatives without even leaving the parking lot

I used to love coming here right after school, however my interest in this place is fading away. The new workers are very slow with your orders and unorganized. I dined in and it took 25 minutes to get my order of pad thai and iced coffee. My pad Thai was slightly burnt. How do you burn noodles and shrimp? I would rather eat elsewhere. Then my iced coffee had no boba which are my favorite ingredient in iced coffee. I don’t like writing bad reviews, but this is the worst service I have ever received in a long time.

This place is mediocre. Why is this kitchen so small and the menu so big. There is something wrong. like all Vietnamese places, food portions are small, minimal service. I ordered a chicken broth noodle that needed lime seasoning and hot sauce to have much taste. watch out for the msg. this place is sure to use it.
overall, if you are desperately hungry and want to skip chipotle. then it is worth one try, but not a second.

A few friends of mine love the sandwiches from here. With «sandwich» as part of the business name they ought to have great sandwiches, right?
The meat to bread ratio is disproportionate. You’re paying about $ 5 a sandwich and meat is pricey — you get what you pay for.
What really bothers me is how cramped and dirty this place is. They open at 9am and I’d get here just a few minutes after they open and it’s already messy? And nobody seems to care.
Sure, it’s only across the street from UNLV but I’d rather drive a block away for better Vietnamese food.

I picked up lunch at Mr. Sandwich today (after ordering online via Unilocal!). I arrived about 5 minutes after placing my order, knowing that I would have to wait for a while, but it took an extra 10 – 15 minutes for my order of grilled chicken with rice, beef phở, and Thai tea. My only complaint is the wait time. The food itself is SUPERB and the food portions greatly exceeded my expectations. I definitely recommend the grilled chicken with rice (it comes with two huge chicken thighs, cut up veggies, and piles of fresh rice), as well as the beef stew phở (which came with a whopping container of savory broth, a pile of noodles and veggies, and delicious tender beef). The portions are so large that I shared the beef stew phở with my sister and we didn’t even finish it. Of course my favorite thing about Mr. Sandwich is their Thai tea, which is authentic, sweet, and perfectly chilled. I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone searching for authentic phở and boba.

I visited this establishment recently with my sister. We’ve grown up in Thailand so we have high expectations for boba and Asian food; however, the Thai tea boba exceeded our expectations and was reasonably priced at $ 3 for a medium. The only problem was the speed of service (we waited over five minutes for drinks). Our spring rolls were slightly bland but paired well with the savory peanut sauce. I will definitely return for the Thai tea soon! Make sure to pick up a punch card so your eighth drink is free!

Oh to be in college again… located right across the street from UNLV… parking lot was a disaster. Seating was cramped. Restaurant felt like I was in SE Asia. Kinda dirty. That being said the Bahn mi and phở were tasty and fairly cheap… perfect for the broke college kid.

This is a fantastic lunch stop near UNLV. So far I’ve had their banh mi, which tastes great, and is very filling for the price. (At the time of this review, a house special banh mi is $ 3.50!!) I’d order two if I thought I could finish it.
I see practically zero downsides to this place. Great location (right off the crosswalk), outdoor seating, and simple /​tasty food for under $ 5. (If you want a big bowl of phở, you’re going to pay around $ 7 – 8, but that’s still great for lunch.)
Seriously, check this place out. This is a local business that I’d love to see succeed.

I told myself I shouldn’t distrust the place just because it’s called the utilitarian-​sounding «Mr. Sandwich.» After all, Homer Simpson’s Mr. Plow business was a success, and «Mr. Blue Sky» is one of ELO’s best songs, right?
Unfortunately, I should have followed my elitist instincts and skipped this place. I should note that I’ve heard good things about the sandwiches and fried rice here, but I don’t judge Vietnamese restaurants based on those dishes. I judge on the quality of the phở, and it’s lacking here.
When grocery shopping, I used to stock up on packets consisting of a small amount of rice noodles, a bit of oil and flavored powder. Although the noodles were billed as «Asian,» they paled in comparison with anything served in a restaurant and served as little more than a small, mildly satisfying snack.
The seafood phở I got at Mr. Sandwich bore a remarkable resemblance to these packaged soups, right down to the noodle texture and bitter undertaste. The seafood didn’t impress, nor did the sliced tomatoes (?) included in the broth.
The restaurant’s atmosphere was similarly underwhelming. On a hot summer day, one of the doors was wide-​open, leaving the seating area uncomfortably warm. No bean sprouts or sliced jalapenos were served with my soup; I had to ask for them. The non-​bottled water tasted bad — a not-​uncommon problem at desert eateries. And the food didn’t arrive quickly.
This place might be a great experience if you’re looking for banh mi and bottled water on a late-​fall day. But I advise against replicating my poor experience.

I’ve never had a Vietnamese/​French sandwich but I really enjoyed my first experience. I got the chicken sandwich #38. The roll was perfectly fluffy with a great crispy crust. My favorite part was discovering the type of vegetables used. Cucumbers, carrots, jalapeño and cilantro. I was honestly elated to find a sandwich in town that doesn’t focus on lettuce and tomato as a constant. The place is super casual, nothing special comes to mind about atmosphere, but come here for the food.

Went here while at UNLV for a course nearby. They do have a wide variety of options on their menu to choose, from phở to chinese to Thai dishes. The staff is nice and its close to UNLV if you are in the area. The inside was pretty small and really warm, was the ac broken maybe?
I had the pad kee mao (thai dish) and it came with vegetables. It was rather plain, as in no spice, but was okay. A lot of vegetables inside, peppers, bok choy and basil so you better like them. It was alright but nothing special. I would only go here again if I was in the area and everything else to eat was closed.

Great Boba!!!
So I just came here for the first time today and this review is based solely off of their Boba smoothie drinks! Okay, so I was feeling rather parched and wanted a sweet treat so I thought to myself why not a smoothie lol. Anyways I ordered a mango coconut smoothie with Boba in extra large, cause why not? For the price the amount you get is pretty substantial. It was $ 5.00 and 0.40 cents extra for boba, and no charge for mixed flavors. I’ve paid more for less at other places, so I didn’t trip. The taste is really good too, not watery or anything. The customer service is really good, lots of smiles and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I got a really chill vibe from the inside and it seems like you can come here alone or with a friend to eat and just relax. I plan on coming back to try actual food on my next visit!

I guess since I had at least 3 check ins I can write a review. Honestly the only reason I come here is because it’s the closest boba place to me. I live close to Sam Boyd Stadium and we have no boba place in The Henderson area. With that being said. That’s mainly why i continue to come here. The milk teas are good don’t get me wrong. The boba though, way overlooked and mushy. Seems to be the story of my life. They have food too but I’ve yet to try anything other than the milk teas. They have phở for $ 6 a bowl. Pretty cheap but with Phở Thang Huong across the way I doubt I will try the phở or order from the food menu. Maybe I’ll try a Bahn minor something someday but today we will just talk milk tea.
Here’s the deal. I’ve become obsessed with milk tea. I just love it ! Refreshing and sweet. I just can’t do without the boba and I crave milk tea all the time so when I’m close I frequent this location. I’ve had the mango milk tea, jasmine milk tea and Thai milk tea. The jasmine would probably be my favorite of the three. Most of the drinks are made from powder :/​They have different jellies and bobas including green apple boba flavored Jellies and popping bobas. Small is $ 3 medium is $ 4 and large is $ 5. The milk teas aren’t bad I just wish the texture was more firm on the boba. So far kung fu tea is killing the boba game and everyone needs to take notes :/
