Delicious but the bread is a little dry... it can be better.

Damn cheap Banh Mi $4.50 for a #2.Its delicious, but according to many reviews its top ranking and often has a long wait line.Well came over on a Sunday morning shortly after 7am, theres no wait.And ordered the meatballs on a skewer $3.99 as well, they were both good but to me not a wait in long line good as Ive tried many competitors in LA and elsewhere as well.Small, take out place only.

This place French breads 🥪 are very fresh make. Different than other small cafes. So the parking lot very busy people coming morning, lunch hrs and afternoon for buying. They close early evening because the workers start very earlymorning to prepare the ingredients. Now I know why this place so many customers.

A number 8 with a fried egg. One of the best banh mi I have had and it was at a good price.

Hands down the best Vietnamese sandwich in Southern California. Before I came to this sandwich shop, I thought I had my best banh mi at Banh Mi Cali in Rosemead. I have to tell you, this place has the best and most authentic Banh Mi sandwiches in the San Gabriel valley. As some of the yelp reviewers indicated that the Banh mi here reminded them of Vietnam. I have to agree. The taste of sandwiches are fantastic. I feel they are in par with the ones made in Saigon during my last year’s trip there. That’s why I was not surprised with the guy standing next to me in line telling me that he had come from Santa Monica to wait in line for the sandwich.For those of you wanting to have a true experience of Vietnam Banh Mi, I highly recommend to get #8. The meat is tender and tasty. The sauce and pickle vegetables enhance the Banh mi flavor.Craving for egg rolls? They have one of the best in town. The price is cheap. Get a dozen for lunch for your kids or yourself. This is a great side appetizer to go with the sandwich. Don’t forget to ask for a small cup of fish sauce to dip the egg rolls in.The owner was nice and kind. She was very efficient getting our order done. She has an amazing memory. She knows exactly what we ordered.

Incredible. I’d been craving a good bahn mi for MONTHS. This was one of the best I’ve had. And for less than $5?! Also the meatballs were amazing. It’s 15 miles away, which we all know is a HIKE if you live in LA. But it’s more than worth it. Just make sure you have cash!

Great place. The price is good and the sandwiches are always fresh! I have tried multiple types and they have all been amazing. They pack the sandwiches with meat, the bread is crispy and flavorful. There is always a line when I go so you should call ahead of time.

Always delicious. Picked up some fried shallots this time that were delicious. Consistent low priced sandwiches. Worth a trip to alhambra

Very friendly customers care and very yummy food and drinks. We buy their food for years .

My friend and I came on a Wednesday afternoon, and there was a line at 11 am. We both went with the charbroiled pork banh mi and it was definitely worth the 30-40 minutes wait. That price? How the pork was sauced up perfectly? Yes yes yes yes yes. Im going to go back and try the rest of their sandwiches.** Cash only!! Dont forget to give a tip too - I almost forgot since its been a while **

Sigh. If the gods of sandwiches ever did descend to make an outpost here on Earth, it is here at this place. Ive been frequenting this place for the past year-and-a-half; consistency of quality has not changed. More comprehensive review and photographs to come later in February 2020.

Great quality and price! Be prepared for a line, call ahead so theyll have your order ready when you get in(after still lining up). Cash only

The best banh mi ever! Good service and price! Flavor meat, crispy bread, huge portion, the meat balls are delicious, cant wait to try the rice boxes!Free parking lot, might be a wait, no seating.Update: get the meatballs on the stick! Good Vietnamese coffee, come hungry, be prepared to wait, cash only!!Update: the health rating is now C.

Once you eat their foods, cant be satisfied with other places.... dont forget your sweet sweet coffee. So addictive in a good way :)

Super popular banh mi shopTheres ALWAYS a long line. Usually at least a couple parties in line waiting to order. Then once you order, you wait outside for them to call your name/number. Ppl usually wait outside on the left side (if facing the shop) opposite of where ppl are lining up so dont get confused.From what Ive seen- you still have to wait in that long line EVEN IF YOUVE PHONE ORDERED! Lame. Its one of the reasons why this location isnt my favorite.

Flew into LA from Grand Rapids and drove an hour just to try this bánh mì and it was so worth it. #8 thịt nướng & đặc biệt bánh mì takes me right back to Vietnam. I tried the two competitors nearby (BA LE & Chè Cali) as well, they do not compare. Until next time!

Always the best place to fill my hunger at an affordable price of a baguette sandwich! Very nice people with many choices. This is my second time. The charbroiled pork sandwich is good if you like that.

My friend and I each got a banh mi here. I got the beef and she got the pork and they were both so good. Very good price. They are cash only so make sure youre prepared. They had a B rating when I went but a lot of ppl were there so maybe the inspector just caught them on a bad day

An amazing bahn mi for only $5 (includes tax). Generous meat portion, bread is crispy outside but not too chewy. If this place always has a line, then you can trust the food is good.

Great banh mih.There is an ordering process. Dont screw it up or its no soup for you!

I absolutely love this place! I have tried their #1 (cold cuts) and #7 (grilled meatball) and both are absolutely great. My favorite of the two is the #7 the meat is so soft and juicy and the pickled veggies complement the meat perfectly. The bread is also nice and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It does get pretty busy during lunch time so expect to wait a few minutes to get your order. I highly recommend stopping whenever youre in the neighborhood.

An little gem of a sandwich joint in SGV...fresh and delicious!

Solidly good banh mi. Id come back for that but not necessarily go out of my way for it.

Est. 1993 while in the wall banh mi sandwich shop with extras like spring rolls, iced coffee, sweet pastries and a variety of sandwiches to match anyones pallet. Im. Fan of the #8 roasted pork and #9 roasted beef. They have a chicken and veggies option which i hear are quite good.Ordering ahead doesnt mean you get to skip the line, everyone still waits in line so its still a good idea to call and save yourself two waiting sessions.CASH ONLY... but that kinda energy thicc af.

Drove a ways to try this place out. To find out they closed early due to not having enough bread. Well luckily we were able to find another place down the street that stays open till 9pm. We bought what we wanted & some. Glad we found the other place down the street. Very tasty food!!

Very nice people with many choices. This is my second time. The charbroiled pork sandwich is good if you like that. Spicy and well flavored, Excellent baguette and chicken curry is good.

This place offers veggies bun sandwich, pretty convenient if call ahead to reserve for pickup.

Yooo Im always down for some Banh miThe French baguette roll with the meat & vegetables were so dry with no Banh Mi Hue oilive pate so dissatisfied.

No line separating phone and in-person orders. Especially with limited space in store, youd would be very helpful to guests and business flow. Good thing customers were self-distancing.Called ahead 20 minutes with order, however no order# was given and order wasnt even ready after getting to the counter. Lady at the counter seemed frustrated. Good food, but terribly inefficient.

The best Banh mi in LA no doubt! Great baguette, crispy veggies, tender meat!

Their store is super small. Its more like an ordering counter. It has a good selection of banh mis (Vietnamese sandwiches). I purchased #2 and it has a decent amount of meat and other things inside. Service is kinda quick and everything is fine. The price of items are decent.

This is my first time here and the rating is specifically for the vegetarian ham sandwich. I was told the ham is made of tofu but it looked and tasted like ham. I did skip the mayonnaise, which made the sandwich dry. This vegetarian ham sandwich is just okay. Ive had better real tofu veggie sandwich elsewhere and this is not what I expected based on the great reviews. Perhaps the meat sandwiches are better tasting.

First time there, got the the #8 grilled pork sandwich and letter D pulled pork sandwich. Finished both, definitely coming back here again. Good sandwiches.

The banh mi are amazing. We got #2 and #8

Even though the wait for your food can be long and they could implement a more efficient process - I am still giving this place 5 stars because their food is absolutely delicious. I always get their #8 grilled pork Banh Mi and a few of their egg rolls (so crispy and good!).

People make it like a holy grail of Vietnamese sandwiches in town. My friend recommended me that I should give it a try. Its not really that good that I would come back again. The meat is what makes the sandwich. They do have some tasty choices of meat. I wish my bread was toasted. Maybe a wheat bread? You only have one choice of bread. This place is crowded around lunch time or probably any other time. It takes around 15 mins or more on an average to place my order and have it ready to go. The county of Los Angeles Dept of Public Health gave it a B. Looks like a mom and pop sandwich shop. The mom is not very enthusiastic taking my order or recommend me which sandwiches she thinks I would like to try out. Poor lady, she probably has too many customers to handle on her own. Good sandwiches all around, but not the best of the best!

Gem of a place with amazing, cheap banh mi. Must try.

Excellent banh mi sandwiches and banh uot. Chicken curry is ok.

Last time I visited, it was my first time. Thought it might be a fluke that these banh mis are so good. Tried other places. They dont compare. Came back a second time. Verdict? The banh mis here are just incredible. Be sure to try #8 with an egg or #1 on its own. Just amazing.

Long line, but worth the wait.Great sandwiches, curry meatballs.Liked a lot.

My previous coworker always went out of his way to get us the Banh Mi from this place...today I got to go for myself. Small establishment but AMAZING Banh Mi Sandwiches, also tried the pork egg rolls.

No frills to-go counter with decent portions and prices on the lower side. Would be nice if they had an expedited pick-up line/window for people ordering ahead.

AUTHENTIC. I highly recommend, instead of going to Bahn Mi Che Cali which is a chain (which I also love!), coming here to this tiny, no fuss, Vietnamese establishment.They are always super busy, so busy that when we showed up at 2:45 in the afternoon today, they were out of bahn mi. They bread go quick!The early bird gets the bahn mi, I guess.I brought my friend here, who is originally from Vietnam, before she leaves for Texas bc its the place to go. So we were both pretty bummed that they ran out of bread. So instead we just got a few of the crispy spring rolls and meat on a stick. They were, well, meaty. The rolls were basically just meat and rice noodles encased in a crispy shell. They tasted delicious, v crispy, savory. The meat wasnt overly salty or sweet, just a perfect mystery meatball on a stick. If you are craving MEAT, get that. I think youll be pretty satisfied.Wish this could be a review for the sandwiches... I havent had one in a year, so I cant tell you more than it was delicious!!!Also that C health rating is now a B, suck it haters.

Great value, each bahn mi was only $4.50 and I couldnt finish mine

I usually do not write reviews, but this place treats their staff horrible. Their hygiene is unsanitary. They have roaches in their kitchen and do not clean. Theres grease everywhere. They place their sandwiches in their restroom because there is no space. They are disrespectful to their staffs using profanity. The owner of this place needs to learn how to be respectful not just to their customers but to their staff.

Last mom and pop banh mi spot in SGV. Solid chicken banh mi

Delicious cheap banh mi. Only problem is the line. You can call ahead but you still pretty much have to wait. Itll shave off a little time tho.

Good taste..need better management which one pick up which one place the order..way too long too wait

Good sandwiches for a little mom and pop spot.

Horrible decision to make all their customers wait in the same long line regardless whether or not you have placed your order in advanced. Your food is cold by the time you reach the counter to pick up your call-in order.

Darn, I hate to leave 1 star but SERIOUSLY, how dirty does a restaurant have to be to earn a C grade from the Health Department? Im posting this because the owners and or management needs to know that some customers do care. I drove there for lunch from Monterey Park, passing many fine eating places on the way only to turn around and leave when I saw their C grade. Theres no grade worse than a C. Next step, the Health Department will close them down until they figure out how to have safe food handling procedures. Disappointed in my regular go to place for Bahn Mi

Sandwich was delicious. Too much mayo for my taste but authentic taste and bread was fresh for sure. The picture shows the hair we found in sandwich. That’s why they went from 4-2 stars. The hair is pretty unacceptable

Best place to get Bahn Mi sandwiches! Cash only, and there is usually a wait. Well known for their #8. Protip- add an egg :) They sell lotto too!

You cant go wrong with the #8, grilled pork sandwich for $4.30. Also, if you need to pick up something as your contribution for an office potluck or a football tailgating party, their pork egg rolls at $.75 cents each is a great option! Every time I have brought these to any event, they are always a hit!

The best banh mi in town. Each item on the menu is a hit, delicious flavors and textures in a fresh, thin and light crispy chewy baguette. Theres usually a long line and its cash only.

Excellent banh mi ! Love it

Food is great but really bizarre service. Long lines, so I called in to pre order. Lady took my order, hung up and said the order will be ready in 15 minutes. Went to pick it up and I found out you have to wait in regular line to pick up your phone pre order. To make it more bizarre... the order was never put in or made and I was told to wait again. Stop wasting peoples time and dont pretend to take phone orders.

The best and affordable Bahn Mi in SGV!

The sandwiches here are crunchy and crispy. The seasonings they put on the food makes them even better. The sandwich melts into my mouth after a crispy crunch. Delicious!

Amazing little store, serving fresh sandwiches at a very low price. Quick service and places to sit and eat. Will definitely return.

Food quality excellent and prices were reasonable. Delicious Banh Mi!Would normally review with 4 stars, but phone orders handled very poorly. No reason to call ahead - you will wait in line alongside those who did not. Normally not a major problem, but during Covid times this is very frustrating.

B rated restaurant. I definitely felt unwell a few hours after eating the sandwich from here.

One of the best Vietnamese bread in my opinion because it is quite delicious, and prices is very cheap as well. I always to have Special Cold Cut Ham Sandwich #2 or Chabroiled Beef Sandwich because it is very tasty, and it is very big portion with a coffee. Also, snacks here is good too. Overall, it is a good place to get a sandwich here because it will get you full, and feels more energy to work later on.

Love their prices and options of choices of Vietnamese sandwiches (aka banh mi); you can do an add on w/ fried egg. They also have other items to order if youre not feeling sandwiches like noodles, rice and spring rolls. FYI: This is not a dine-in place. Fantastic ordering to go or if you have a big order, recommend to call in ahead.

Really great sandwiches and priced very fairly!

No better dac biet banh mi. Order the no 2 & ice coffee, thats a combo.

One of the best Veitanmese sandwich shops around... very busy, always! Best to call in your order at least15 minutes before.., then wait I line to pay. I always get a couple specials with everything. Try it, you wont be disappointed! Forgot to mention, theyre closed Mondays.

The Banh Mi sandwiches here are the best. And while the sandwiches are super affordable, they do not skimp out on the meat! I tried the spring rolls here too and they are just as good. CASH only. Do yourself a favor and order ahead by 20 minutes.

Good fresh sandwiches 😋 and dont forget the pho

I ordered the pork and shredded chicken sandwiches. They were delicious. I liked The pork sandwich a little better than the chicken. It was inexpensive and you get a foot long sandwich that is on french bread. Its a small place and there are no places to sit. I will definitely return to try their other sandwiches.

This was a very good banh mi. The best Ive had is in Portland at house of banh mi but this was pretty close. Fresh crunchy bread, fresh ingredients. Not many options for vegetarians and would love to see a tofu option. Id go back for sure.

This place has been around forever. Great sandwiches. Awesome coffee!???

Amazing little store, serving fresh sandwiches at a very low price. Quick service and places to sit and eat. Will definitely return.

CASH ONLY.Pork Banh Mi all day every day.

Amazing food!Dominic Zhang from Comptree is an a-hole. Be ware of his dirty tricks

Had not been here in a few years but I was in the area and after one bite was instantly reminded of how addictively good the Bahn Mi sandwiches are. Got a bunch for my family and they were very happy. Bring cash and sometimes their is a line but service is fast. Not a fancy place but food is outstanding.

This is the best Banh Mi I have had since eating at that famous stand in Hoi An, Vietnam. Super fresh ingredients at a more than reasonable price point. My go to is the #8 with liver pate, egg and sriracha. Check it out!

The best Vietnamese style sandwiches around. Hole in the wall. Not really any place to sit down. I get my food to go. Great coffee as well. Lots of other Vietnamese food choices too. Very very very good. Recommended.

Always delicious

Came here at Eaters recommendation with no special expectations. There are so many banh mi shops around, how different could it be? Banh mi my tho though knocked it out of the park! The sandwich is packed with flavorful meat, with just the right amount of veggies peppers and crusty bread to accentuate it. There was a line out the door, a mix of tech savvy young crowd and traditional food savvy older crowd all happily awaiting their sandwiches, egg rolls, and other Vietnamese treats. Its my new favorite sandwich shop!

This place is a weekly ritual around the office. We place the phone order and pickup 8 to 15 sandwiches a week. Everyones happy!The perfect breakfast snack. Get #8!I dont have any pictures because the sandwiches get eaten too fast!

Love their sandwiches!! We have been coming here forever and it never fails

Its a very popular spot w/high rating...WHY? I really dont like their sandwich. Its no better than other competitors. And I know my food! Sorry,

And the award for Best Banh Mi goes to... Banh Mi My Tho!!!Hands down the best in SoCal.The bread is perfectly done. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They do not skimp on the meats either. Pickled veggies and pate is on point.Tiny shop! Customer service is great. The guy working here is super nice!

Great bahn mis of 🔥. Our friends told us about this spot... Hows everyone else finding this little gem!Two sandwiches, two egg rolls and a pork meatball skewer or four meatballs from $15!Food is made to order and tastes as authentic as this store looks. We took it to a local brew pub and enjoyed it with awesome beer on a Saturday afternoon. It really doesnt get better than that.Be sure to ask for Sriracha and extra napkins as we only got two tiny napkins for all that yummy food.

Their prices seem to have gone up... Still good sandwiches, and lets be real, $4 for a sandwich is not expensive. Bread is nice and crispy as well. I always get the grilled pork. Ive had a few banh mi places, but this is always the one I go back to. Lady at the counter is very nice as well. Cash only.

Still the same. Good quality reasonably priced, very busy sandwich take out.

The ONLY place to get a great sandwich in the SGV. All their ingredients are traditionally made. NEVER ONCE DISAPPOINTED. Its crowded but that because they make all their food fresh! Its not waiting for the customer to buy it. The customer waits (not too long) for them to prepare it. So good! Very very affordable. Family run business.

After almost 20 years, this place still rocks and is my favorite go-to place for a great banh mi sandwich at a great price.Same family owned, which makes it even more special. Parking is decent and never too crowded but this place is small so expect a crowd during peak lunch hours.

Wow the classic hole in the wall with excellent food. Try the coffee. Very strong espresso style.

Ive been here a few times and lets be honest the food is great. Ive tried the Banh Mi and the char grilled pork with egg rolls on rice noodles which both are amazing. You cant sit down here and sometimes they run out of the French bread so call ahead for a larger order. I live with all that but seriously its 2015 why cant they use a square machine and accept credit cards. If your in the area and need a great lunch its a must try place.

Love this little gem of a Vietnamese take out spot. Very friendly owners and great authentic menu.

Been coming here for over 12 years. Solid Banh Mi spot. My favorites are the Charbroiled Pork and Chicken. Cant beat the price. I like the bread better at some other spots but its still very good being nice and light with a crisp crust. Its gotten a lot busier over the years.

The banh mi/sandwiches here are really good! My family always get the grilled beef or pork. Its a little bit more expensive compared to other places but its totally worth it! If you have a peanut allergy be sure to let them know since they put peanuts in some of the sandwiches.

Sandwiches was the best. But dont call in the order it doesnt help with the wait. I would give less stars because of the service, but I am eating there sandwiches which is the best in the area.

This bakery has been here for at least 25 years. They consistantly serving gourmet food, great customer service.my favor food here is the pate sandwich, meat ball and coffee.you have to come and try it.Ti from Arcadia

Maybe thes best sandwiches I have ever had. And the best bread,! Tiny place; crowded, hot, cash & take-out only but oh so good!

This is simply the best Banh mi in SoCal. Order ahead to avoid the wait. This place is worth the extra drive for all the great home dishes. No place to sit, you just have to take home or eat in the car, but worth it.

Affordable & delicious banh mi & spring rolls. Theyre old school, so bring cash!

The only place that I will buy a sandwich at. The best.
