Coda Bakery

"Took my grandson here after school, we got a #5 and a #23 and a #27. They were AMAZING! Would recommend this place to anyone who likes Vietnamese food."

"I went to this restaurant twice within three days. The food is amazing!!! I highly recommend the #1 Đặc Biệt, #51 Sữa Đá (iced coffee), and the Raisin Bun. Those are the only items I have had so far; but really, you likely can't go wrong with whatever you choose. The food and drinks are authentic and fresh. Absolutely delicious! This place gets busy and there's not a lot of seating available. Plan accordingly."

"Coda Bakery is a Vietnamese bakery and restaurant off Louisiana in a strip mall. Their business is geared toward to-go food and counter service. They have a few benches outside and then tables inside; none get table service. As of late September 2023, they are construction is underway at a new location. I had a Bánh Mì Xíu Mai, which is a Vietnamese pork meatball sandwich served on a baguette for $8.50. It’s their #4. I also had a bành patê sô, also known as a patê chaud, which is a flaky, buttery pastry shell with a meatball inside. It’s a holdover from French colonialism, from which the pastry derived. The bánh mì was fine; I’ve had better in Albuquerque. I wish it would have been served with fish sauce in a ramekin or on the table to add to the sandwich. The bánh pâte wasn’t particularly my “cup of tea”. It was mostly all pastry, though once I got to the center I found the meatball. It was quite greasy because of the butter. Be aware because of the location indigent people will come in and ask dining patrons for change or to sell items. Our group experienced that twice during the lunch hour. The venue was very busy and the restaurant is quite popular. I had been wanting to try it for some time, so I’m glad I did, but I likely wouldn’t return."

"Absolutely amazing grilled pork sandwiches! This place has some of the best Vietnamese sandwiches and bowls around. It always seems like high quality and fresh ingredients! Their boba teas are pretty good too, blended and nothing too crazy. However, they are very busy and that can effect their service if you’re looking for that. But the quality of their product outperforms any nit-picky customer service you might be looking for. A solid lunch spot for sure!!!"

"I was kind of hesitant to try this restaurant because I've never tried this type of food. Being the adventurous eater I am, I went for it anyway. I fell in love at the first bite. I got the pork sandwich and the pork was tender, juicy and delicious. The veggies also worked so well with the sandwich. They're quick and nice. We only waited about 5 minutes for our order. We'll definitely be back."
