Really good sandwich with decent coffee is a good way to enjoy an early Sunday afternoon. ITEM'S ORDERED: Chicken banh mi w/ egg added Vietnamese Coffee TASTE: I've had a fair amount of banh mi & this was one of the better ones. Bread & veggies were fresh, chicken was tasty & a solid portion of it as well. Decided to add egg which just made it even more of a meal. I enjoyed how it wasn't just drenched in mayo, but rather had the right amount & went well with the light soy sauce flavor. Vietnamese Coffee was pretty decent. Not the best I've had but also not the worst. Really just a little too weak of a coffee flavor for me, but imagine most would be fine with it. SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING: Service was friendly & it wasn't too difficult ordering in English as I've noticed at other places. They are cash only FYI. They are located in right off Atlantic & Valley in the Starbucks/Chase plaza. Pretty easy to find a parking spot but just FYI sometimes really busy because the Starbucks drive thru. There's so many different banh mi places around but I'll say I was impressed enough with this one so I'd go back here.

The banh mi was really skimpy on the inside. It’s all about balance and although the bread is fresh and perfect, it was most of the sandwich. I wish there was a more meat, but it was also low on the pickled vegetables! Pate flavor was great though.

This is one of the best Vietnamese sandwich shops in Los Angeles county, offering up freshly made food items and drinks. Everything tasted authentic and flavorful. This is where I go for lunch and a quick snack. BTW, they only accept cash.

This is my go to for banh mis because I prefer easily chewable baguettes 😂. One of my biggest complaints with banh mis is how tired my jaw gets after eating one but I rarely have that problem here. I’ve had most of their menu but I really like the pate, nem nuong, and bbq pork/beef. They also sell other snacks and desserts. They only accept cash. There’s no seating inside. They’re located inside the Alhambra plaza so they share a parking lot with Starbucks and Asia supermarket so parking can be a pain sometimes.

Delicious banh mi & so cheap! $4 for a big sandwich!! Definitely coming back for more. Update: tried more dishes. Yummm so good! $4 for spring rolls & $6 for chicken rice!! So cheap & delish!

Overall: 3.3/5 (take out) We came on a Saturday around 4:30 PM so it wasn't busy. We were craving banh mi so we did the buy 5 get 1 free sandwich deal. We wanted la lot but they didn't have anymore. The sandwiches came out pretty quickly too but there's a clear difference between which ones are good and which ones are bad. Ba Le Special - Dac Biet ($7.50): This was clearly their best sandwich. Everything was really good and tasty. BBQ Pork ($7): This was a close second. The pork came with peanuts, green onion, & house sauce which made it so flavorful and different from any other BBQ pork we've tried. BBQ Beef ($7.50): This was okay. It was more dry and less flavorful than BBQ pork even though it had the same marinade. Pork Belly - Ba Chi ($6.50): This was the third best banh mi. The pork belly was really thin and looks like xa xiu. Sweet Meat - Xiu Mai ($6): The sweet meat was so gross. The texture was like baby food so I can see why they call it the "Asian Sloppy Joe". We only took 2 bites. Pork Lemongrass Sausage ($7): The sausage was flavorless. It's the 2nd worse one. Would not recommend either. Crispy Chicken Jerky ($8 for 4 oz): Not a fan of the texture. Flavor is meh.

When I came it weren’t busy. Cashier was just stood there and watch t.v service was extremely slow. Sandwich weren’t the best lack of flavor. Penny worth was just average. I asked for recommendations cashiers responds were it depends on what I like because everyone different. Cashiers too busy communicating with each other about non senses about what they are instead of helping customers. Not as attentive as any other banh mi shops in o.c. If this shop were to be in o.c. Can’t compete with thh, or banh mi Saigon

Our favourite bahn mi sandwich shop for years. The perfect combination of protein, marinated veggies and freshly made baguettes. We also often pick up flan and vietnamese style coffee bc they are that good. Highly recommended.
