Don Cafe in Houston

NOT RECOMMENDED. Their customer service is terrible. Way worse than the typical Asian place. I ordered a lot of food. The food was not prepared correctly. I informed the cashier. He told me it is my fault for not telling him. I told him I did tell him, which he adamantly denies. He wears a mask over his mouth, has an accent, speaks really fast and is multi-tasking. Therefore, I told him you must not have heard me because I did tell you. He blames me again, refused to remake the order and spoke to me rudely. I asked to speak to the Manager. He said he is the Manager. So, I said just give me a refund then.  He said fine and refunds me less than what I paid. Luckily, I asked to keep the receipt, so I can show him his error. He tried to tell me he calculated correctly, but I showed him the receipt again and restated that he shorted me on my refund. Then, he finally said he would remake my order. The second issue I have is this place is a Cash Only business, which ordinarily I have no problem wit...

I've been going to Don for as long as I can remember. It's a standard Vietnamese banh mi shop, with some tables. It's cash only, so be aware. The sandwiches are great - bread is always crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Because of my dietary restrictions, I usually get a banh mi rau (sandwich with the vegetables and bo), and it is always tasty. The tuna b...

Came here for the first time on our recent trip right around when they opened. Supposedly they opened at 8am but no one was inside nor was the door unlocked. Had left to get some coffee from Long Coffee down the street, came back and found it to be open with people chilling outside enjoying their sandwiches Don Cafe is located in a standalone building in the same lot as Jusco in Chinatown. Their pricing INCLUDES tax which makes it convenient BUT is CASH ONLY. Their setup is pretty simple. During COVID times, no inside dining allowed. Had ordered 3x "Banh Mi Dac Biet" at $4. Simple and easy. Our local friend had suggested to request bread be toasted and have both side mayo'ed, and veggies on the side. Took a little bit for the toasted but their sandwich making process is quick. They have a setup similar to what you see (on YouTube or in person if you go to Vietnam) like a cart with pre-sliced meat and mayo/pate. Streamlined process of opening the bread, spread mayo/pate, add meat, veggies and next one they go. The sandwich itself was pretty decent. Regret agreeing w/ my friend to get that mayo double sided. Too much for my preference. Adding veggies would be nice if you plan to eat it right away. If you are eating it later in the day or days later, separate. Otherwise, i dont think it changes anything. Weirdly didn't notice maggi/liquid seasoning being used. Not bad of a place. Definitely convenient since its literally down the street (residential street !!) on my friends place. Not top choice but definitely would hit the spot if theres a craving.
