mmm-yoso!!! is a food blog. Kirk and His Missus are having an adventure in travel right now and Cathy is writing today's post.
Kirk's second post about K Sandwiches, written in 2005, was complimentary about the (newly opened) banh mi joint. K sandwiches thrived for a bit more than ten years.
There was a fire in August 2015, requiring a major rebuild. The eatery finally reopened in January 2018. Lines were long. The menu was refined. It is still a sandwich place with banh mi, French bread loaves, croissants and various sweets baked daily.
K Sandwiches is a 'regular' stop for The Mister or myself when out and about and eating alone as well as a place for sharing items when we are together. The food items to be found here are various.
Bahn mi sandwiches are always made to order. This is the #6, meatball ($4.75), which is quite good combined with the 'usual' banh mi toppings of pickled carrots and radishes along with cilantro and jalapeño slices and some mayonnaise. The corse ground meat is very 'meatloaf' in style and flavor. 
Fresh made spring rolls, in a variety of meat choices ($3.49), are always a good choice. These shrimp and pork rolls were filled with lettuces, herbs, cucumber, carrot and sprouts.
Pretty much every beverage we choose here is a black coffee, add half and half ($2.75).
The 'sweet croissant' ($1.65) was a new-to-me item from the grab-it-yourself baked goods area. Soft yet flaky and still warm; satisfying. 
The Honey Mayo Shrimp Croissant ($8.25) is the highest priced sandwich on the menu. Worth it. Lightly covered in rice flour then fried, the shrimp still have a slight crunch even with the mayonnaise coating. Simply served on shredded lettuce along with a fresh made croissant, this is a wonderfully decadent meal.
The Mister has been ordering the Chicken Curry ($7) since 2007, when he saw someone enjoying it at another table. You can get it with a banh mi or rice; the banh mi seems to be easier to work with, with all the sauce. There were three chicken legs in this bowl, along with the onions and potatoes. Such a great curry flavor!
Not much is inedible. That is a very deep bowl. 
Sometimes a simple #9, grilled pork banh mi ($4.75) is my craving. Always fresh and tasty. I think the warm, grilled-to-order, flavorful pork is part of the comfort.
There are a few small menus taped to various display racks in the small store. The Mister saw a "Rice or Noodle Combo, choose two items $7.25". He chose noodles (rice noodles served warm) and his items were grilled beef and pork cha (steamed egg minced pork meatloaf). There are lettuces, cucumber, pickled sprouts and carrots along with the jalapeño. The dressing is topped with peanuts. Combine all these flavors and you have Bun Cha, one of my favorite meals at every Vietnamese restaurant.

honey mayo shrimp sounds delicious, and in a croissant, what a plus!
My go to spot for picking up sandwiches for a hike!
Wait, what? Honey mayo shrimp? I can’t believe I never noticed that on the menu. I guess I’m too hung up on the beef or pork banh mi. I know what I’ll be trying next time then!
I like their packaged rice with sausage and the fried sesame balls filled with red bean paste. I always like looking for the grandma who makes the pandan waffes. Sometimes she is there, other times, she is “off”.
It is *wonderful*, Kat. The croissants (made here) are not ‘crispy’ but do make for a perfect sandwich.
Convenient, unpretentious and so tasty, Junichi. Always a smart stop.
I ordered my first honey mayo shrimp sandwich about two weeks before the fire, cc…it was listed on a piece of paper taped on the counter in front of the cash register…never did a post because I thought that K might never come back. So many choices other than sandwiches, though. The pandan waffles are $1.50 now (still so good)- and Grandma works until 5: we saw her the other day and she took the waffle sign off the counter at 4:50 in preparation of cleaning up and going home!
