Stopped by for a couple of sandwiches today. A couple of tips…bring cash AND there is no place to eat here. Your order will be “to go”.My husband had the beef and said it was good (#9)I had the chicken #4 and the overall taste was fine…the chicken was practically ground so the texture was not great.

Like they say, early bird catches the worm! We were here quite early around 715am and yes even at that time there was a line. The lady in front of me ordered maybe 6-8 sandos, I only wanted two and because of her order I had to wait 15-20 mins, I heard the shop owner call out her number and I thought mine would’ve been ready since I was standing there patiently, I was surprised when I noticed she gave me the bag that was sitting here before the other person w a large order got hers? Why would she do that when my order was ready? How long was it there? Nonetheless, I was disappointed knowing I could’ve been on my way a while ago….Try not to eat the sando in the car because damn crumbs were all over the place! But overall, the flavor and taste of the combo sando was delish, too bad they don’t add jalapenos in them. I prefer their other location but this wasn’t bad since I was already in the area!Lets talk about the sando – Fresh, crunchy and flavorful. All the cold cuts were tasty especially with the house-made egg yolk mayo! Cilantro always brings out the herbaceous freshness, crunch from the cuke, pickled daikon and carrots and the pate pulls all the flavor together.

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place yet. It is one of my favorite banh mi places!!Plenty of parking but the line is always SUPER long!!! I recommend ordering ahead (you still have to stand in the same line which is stupid but at least you don’t have to wait for your food to be made).Prices are reasonable and the sandwiches and spring rolls are soooo good!I usually get #8 the grilled pork sandwich. And the pork spring rolls (SO good, especially with the sauce)!!There is no dine in, the place is super tiny and cramped. It’s all to go!

Havent been here in ages, pass by to grab a #2 to go. It has everything in it and its fully loaded with goodies. Still as good as I remembered and still a long line as usual. Love the banh Mi here... Will definitely be back for more

Sandwiches are better than most, but Ive noticed over the years ALL Bahn mi sandwiches just dont taste as good as before. That goes for all restaurants, including ones in Westminster. Maybe Im just getting old, but theyre definitely not as good anymore.The Chinese tamales are really good here. Very authentic.Plenty of parking and usually a small line up, but fast. Across from the old Sir Georges. Some originals will know what Im talking about.

This spot is a hole in the wall Vietnamese sandwich spot! I got a bbq pork banh mi with an egg so fire! The meat has great flavor!

This place is one of my go-to banh mi places. The line is always long, so its best to give yourself some time to order and receive your food. The place is small so the l8nes reach out the doors easily. Orders and pick-up lines are the same, so beware of that as well. Theyre only take out, so no dine-in.

Lees Sandwich decide not to pick up there phone but thats ok, called Bun Mi My Tho they picked up right away, was very friendly and took my order. Sandwiches were very good and they did not skimp on any ingredients. My go to place moving forward for my Vietnamese sandwiches. Thanks Lees Sandwiches for helping me make my move.

Its a mom & pop store, sometimes their son helps out. Its busy, but it goes pretty fast, and their vietnamese sandwich is awesome. We only like the pork sandwich #8.

The number 2 Combination sandwich was the most meat filled combo sandwich Ive ever had seemed to have more and better meat than the BBQ one. 9/10

Definitely the best banh mi Ive had in LA county! I recommend the #8 charboiled pork sandwich, #B egg (op la) sandwich, and their iced coffee. Ive motorcycled from south to north Vietnam, and this is as close as youre going to get to an authentic tasting op la banh mi!IG: kay_okay_eat

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.

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.

Food: 5 stars. Very nice Vietnamese sandwich. The grill pork and grill beef marinade sauce is super good. Juicy and not too dried like Lee. Vietnamese Mayonnaise sauce tastes super good. Their mini flour cake is cute and taste good too. I saw a lot of people buy their coffee but I am not Vietnamese coffee lover. You can have a try.Price: 5 stars. It is friendly. We bought 5 sandwich and 1 bag of mini flour cake like $32 for 6 people. Definitely very cheap Togo food for a lunch. It worth than you get a hamburger 😜Service: 5 stars. We asked for veggies put separately because my husband is home late tonight. They package individual bag veggie for each sandwich while other Vietnamese sandwich shop just gave me a huge bag of it. So I gave it 5 stars service.Overall, I like this sandwich place. Cheap price for good quality food. Definitely recommend you to give it a try.

It is one of the best places in the SGV for a bahn mi. Never disappoints!

One of the better places to get banh mi in the 626 area. Theres usually a line to order. Would recommend calling ahead and placing the order.

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.

Review №21

2019-04-04 01:30:19

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.

Hands down the best bánh mi in the SGV. I dont live in the area anymore, but try to stop by whenever I am nearby. Get a sandwich with the veggies on the side so its not soggy and I can eat it later. I also love the egg rolls. Mmm....Update: Theyve started giving out numbers and have a system that will call you when your order is ready. Much better than them having to yell out and you try to hear them. Its great and of course the food is as delicious as always.

Banhmi here is good and seems to be a popular place. There was a line out the door, the morning we visited. While the Banhmi was pretty good, I have had better. In a crunch I would come here but I wouldn’t make a special trip.

Review №24

2017-01-14 23:50:38

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.

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 3 years; consistency of quality has not changed. And, the ICED COFFEE? DIVINE. If youve never had Vietnamese coffee, youre in for a ride.

Review №26

2021-02-17 07:28:28

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!

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.

Review №33

Food is still great! Prices of sandwiches gone up to about $5 bucks a sandwich but the quality has stayed the same and its good! I usually get the grilled pork here and they still make it juicy and flavorful as always. Spring rolls and grilled pork meatballs are great additions as sides. This will always be my go to Banh Mi place.

2020-09-27 21:16:51

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.

Review №35

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

A real gem in the San Gabriel Valley.There are plenty of places to get banh mi but this places continues to make one of the best tasting CHICKEN banh mi you’ll find anywhere.It is shredded chicken with pickled veggies inside a fresh baguette. Absolutely delicious and for a great price.Parking is easy with a private small. Not too big not too small.Overall: Will return for chicken banh mi

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!

Small hole in the wall mom and pop shop. Call your order ahead as the preferred method. Bread is crispy so fair warning if you dont want crumbs in your car.Note that prices has went up and their about $6 per authentic vietnamese sandwiches. (Picture is a #2 Special Sandwich - all the cold cute, grilled pork & pate)

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

Had a Dr. Appt down the street so I decided to get some Banh Mi sandwiches for my coworkers. Drove up at around 9 am and just one person ahead of me in line paying for her items. Order 9 sandwiches including two vegetarian C sandwiches. Glad I was there early as a short line formed after I got my order in. The sandwiches were done in less than 15 minute and they were delicious. My coworkers loved them including the vegetarians in the group. The gal at the front was really nice. Will definitely come here again!

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

2022-10-30 20:02:14

Found this place with high reviews on Google and wanted to try out. It may have been an unlucky day for me as I had to get a refund without receiving my order. I placed an order ahead of many others and they all received their orders. I gave it more time as they seemed busy, but as the 40 minute mark hit for my 2 banhmi I thought it was getting ridiculous. They looked at my order and said sorry we ran out of bread, but we can take out the big order and give you but it wont be your meat you ordered. Well of course not, I ordered my specific items because I dont eat beef. Thought that was very unprofessional and didnt make sense as they were serving up orders.

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.

Review №44

2022-08-26 06:14:34

Two words...banh mi....if you know what it is then this place should be on your bucket list. Still one of the best deals in town. There is always a line but its not that bad. Note if your not going to eat the banh mi there and your going to be on the road, ask them to make your sandwich dry(place veggies in a bag) that way your bread doesnt get soggy.

Review №45

2022-01-04 20:43:02

I am guilty of coming here at least once per week but its just too good! Their flavors are well put together! I love getting their grilled meatball sandwich, steamed broken rice with grilled pork! also if you are a coffee lover youve got to try their iced coffee! although beware it is pretty strong! The family here has made a good relationship with me! They are so polite and kind!!

Review №46

2021-01-20 22:22:48

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.

Review №47

2022-04-28 02:02:00

I had the charbroiled pork sandwich, it was really delicious. The bread was crunchy and the pork flavor was well balanced. I would also recommend getting the meatballs (expect a little sweet but I liked it) and the egg rolls (pork), so tasty and goes well with white wines.I just found out they also have a store in Rosemead, maybe I will give it a try next time as they have seatings.I would suggest to shorten the wait time by either setting up an online order system instead of answering calls or hire a part time to take orders, mom seems to be overwhelmed with all the calls which created a much longer wait time for those customers waiting in line outside.Shout out to mom and dad for the hard work and delicious food that they are bringing to the community.

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 **

Great Banh Mi! Tasty fillings and Good portion sizes too. Dont forget to snag some fried rolls while youre at it!

Review №52

2022-08-17 00:32:36

If you need to wait for a sandwich, it probably means its good. Be smart, order ahead and read the signs. 1 line for pick up and also if you want to order. Ordering ahead will only reduce the sandwich prep time.

Review №53

2022-06-16 23:41:14

I called to place my order 3 days in advanced, then called again on the day of to confirm my order. Its a big order of 25 sandwiches and 25 spring rolls. When I came to pick up on the time we agreed, nothing was made. Not a single one and the lady told me because they were too busy, if I still want to have the order, I will need to wait 30 mins, or I just can leave. What an excuse! This place is totally unorganized. If I have to wait half an hour in the store, why would I need to call them in advance. And their food is just so so, nothing special than other places. I just ordered from them because its close to my event venue. But I will definitely not going back to this place.

Review №54

2021-08-05 05:36:44

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.

Foods always on point. Be prepared for a wait and cash only! The lady who works in the front is the sweetest and please be patient with her! Its a family business! One of best banh mi places in sgv. I would get the meatballs, eggrolls, cuon, and of course banh mi! Banh thit nuong or cha Lua is my favorite! The banh mi is soft and crispy and light. Not the breads that would move your teeth in your gums! :)

Review №57

2019-03-06 17:19:31

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.

Review №58

2021-12-22 09:00:55

This place is good. The bahn mi are slightly larger than Che Cali and honestly I liked these a little better. However, the wait can be long. Counting waiting in line and waiting for our order, we waited over 30 mins. Probably closer to 40 no exaggeration. So order ahead, although you still have to wait in line.

Review №59

2018-11-18 03:04:36

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.

Review №60

2021-05-16 22:05:51

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.

Review №61

Very good food. But the call in order still have to wait in their lines to be served. Guess the orders ready though once you get to the cashier.

2015-06-21 05:36:16

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.

Review №63

2021-04-14 06:39:29

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

Review №66

2018-06-17 01:04:34

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!

Review №67

2019-08-20 20:37:05

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!

2017-05-23 22:14:10

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.

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.

Review №71

2021-03-31 20:23:43

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!).

Review №72

2019-11-12 04:15:15

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.

Review №73

2019-11-30 07:35:12

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 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.

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.

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.

Great banh mi sandwiches! Be sure to look at the times theyre open, a few times I have craved their #8 Charbroiled Pork banh mi and I get to the front door only to realized that theyre closed. Prices have gradually increased but its still a good value. Im sure itll surpass that $5 mark sooner than later.Parking: it can be a little tricky with how the parking lot is designed and how well you can maneuver around. If anything theres always street parking if you dont want to deal with the headache.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

First off, I love banh mis. I can eat them everyday.I got the special cold cut banh mi for $3.80. The bread was good but not the freshest. I did have to take caution eating the sandwich because the outside of the bread was more than crispy - it was crunchy in certain parts - meaning it could cut the top of my mouth if not careful. I wish I could taste more of the cold cut meats. I love that they were generous with the pickled vegetables - something they do better than Saigons Bakery at San Gabriel Blvd. Pate was there but just offered a tiny hint of flavor. Still a very good sandwich, but Saigons banh mis are even better.

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!

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.

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.

Hands down the best Banh Mi sandwiches in Socal. The bread is always crispy to perfection and the meats and seasonings are spot on. This place is tiny, wish they would expand. I normally get a number 8 bbq pork sandwich and some egg rolls and a sugar cane drink. This comes to under $10 and its a treat to eat and enjoy.

2020-07-01 21:02:04

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.

2017-01-12 04:09:24

By far still my favoritest sandwich place in all SGV. I discovered this place back in the early 2000s, the good old college days. Even after all these years, still holds a special place in my heart.Yes, menu is limited, but sometimes you dont need a whole dictionary of menu options. This place knows what they are good and stick to it. The menu hasnt changed at all through the years and neither has taste. The prices have gone up slightly, but what place hasnt. The owner has remained the same and so has the store front look. Why change if it isnt broken right?! Affordable prices, filling, and delicious as always.Dont lose out on this deliciousness by mistakenly judging a book by its cover. Some of the most delicious meals come out of this hole in the wall sandwich shop!

Review №105

2018-08-15 01:02:53

My family and I have been coming here for years now. It is a cash only establishment so your plastic is no good here. However, as compared to other vietnamese sandwich places, this place is very fresh. We usually call in our order as it can take almost 20 minutes of waiting. I usually order the shredded pork (thit nuong) or BBQ meatball (nem neuong) sandwiches.You can also request the vegetables to be on the side if you dont plan on eating the sandwich right away (the vegetables are pickled so it can leave a sour residue).Parking here can be a bit tight, especially around busy hours, but there is street parking. I would not park at the lot across the street as there was a security guard the last few times I went.

My favorite go to place for Viet sandwiches, aka banh mi. My always go to item here is the #2 -the special cold cut. It has all the ingredients of what you will find at a typical banh mi place plus charbroiled pork. At $3.80, it is definitely a good bargain given the amount of meat thats in this sandwich. Bring cash!

Review №107

2019-08-31 02:33:44

I was looking for a banh mi place and found this on Yelp/Google. I now have 2 top banh mi places in the area, Mr. Baguette and this. I tried the 2 most popular version, special and charbroiled pork. It lives up to the authentic banh mi experience with hollow bread, tasty meats, and complimenting veggies. Im surprised how stuffed it is, especially for the 4.30 price tag. A perfect breakfast or lunch with all the nutritions you need! The pate tasted homemade and gave me a nostalgic feeling from home. The special also had a type of jello cold cut ham that I have not had in years since I left Vietnam. I would come back for more. P/S Cash only!

Food: 3.5/5Ive been here a few times over the years. Its was average in taste every time. I me The taste was bland and nothing stood out. Take their sunny side up breakfast sandwich for example. The classic sandwich comes with soft runny eggs with maggi sauce on it. Here The egg was overcooked with no seasoning; the preserved veggies were neither sweet nor sour. The bread was fresh though but it too lacked substance and deep taste. You can squeeze it flat and it does not rise back up. Some people prefers bread this way but I like mine with some bounce and crunch in it.Atmosphere: 3/5 starsIts a Togo place. Think hole in the wall, then squeeze it down a size or two.Service: 3/5 starsThe service was ok but nothing very fast. Sometimes they served people out of line that just jumped in front of me even though they knew I was waiting. That just irritated me.Expense: 4/5 starsThe cost was a little cheaper comparing to others banh mi places locally but mot by much.Return: 3/5 starsWill I come back? It is not on my list when I think of banh mi. I would say dont go out of the way to get it.Average 3.4stars rounding down to 3 stars overall.

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.

2 number #10s please! I grew up around here and have been coming here for ages. How do people even eat Lees Sandwiches without breaking their jaw. Lees should be banned in the US. After having the sandwiches from this place, youll realize that youve messed up, big time. Haha. This is a local spot hidden in a center that will have you drive by without noticing it. Located conveniently between a mailbox center and an optometry store. If youre visiting, you should also try the meatballs and eggrolls. Fatten up, yo!
