Kat's Vietnam House - San Mateo

I tried this place for the first time the other night, and I was blown away by their (F2) BBQ Pork Sandwich. The meat, veggies, and bread were all fresh and customer service was great. Not to mention the portion size is much larger than I've gotten at other places. Just note that it is cash only, but there is an ATM a few doors down if you need it. I will definitely be back!

Love this local Vietnamese spot for fresh spring rolls, crispy imperial rolls and bahn mi sandwiches!

BBQ pork chop over rice. Some sliced radish and fish sauce included. Rice was a little sad, and pork chop was unevenly seasoned and on the oilier side. Would give their pho a try another time. Pandemic seems to have hit hard

I’m on a mission to discover the most delicious Chan Lu or pork loaf sandwich, and this particular sandwich wasn’t even on Kat’s menu, so I opted for just the bbq pork. The grilled pork was nothing special, just the typical protein I think that they use for their other dishes like rice noodles or pho. Another reviewer had mentioned not quite so fresh bread, but at least my sandwich was packed with condiments like Mayo and some cilantro along with the other pickled vegetables. Also there was plenty of other sauces available to zhush the flavor of a so-so sandwich.

This place doesn't accept credit cards. As a person who pays taxes, I resent the fact that businesses can choose to be cash only in order to make their reports to the IRS a bit lighter. Seriously, what business only takes cash anymore?
