Straight up the best banh mi you’re gonna get. They’re generous with all the toppings and meat that goes into each banh mi. The pork belly one is amazing but they have steak, chicken, all of it. They do sell other Vietnamese food and desserts as well. I like the sesame balls but haven’t tried much else. The pricing is a steal too — I’d pay a lot more for their banh mi but it’s awesome to see a business not be all about raising prices all the time. You can get a drink and a banh mi for like $13!Drive through ordering is easy but can get crowded. You can order online as well and just park & pick it up if you don’t want to deal with the drive through.

Had the #2 lemongrass beef and it was nothing short of delicious. A large portion and the bread was perfection. Crunchy on the outside, soft in the inside.Love the drive thru option, unique! Thai tea was delicious and $5 for a large is better priced than most other places. Will be back!

The guy in the front was in his zone! I was impressed him taking drive thru orders and in store order while helping with the food and getting things going. Seems like the staff and work culture is good here because they were communicating and getting orders out timely even when it was really busy. The grilled chicken bahm mi was very good. One of the best I've had I must say. Spring rolls were pre-packed and were still pretty solid esp with the pickled veggies on the side. Smart move. All places should provide that too. Definitely will be coming can

okay okay sooooo we had the crispy pork bahn mi and the filet mignon lomo saltado , the bread and veggies were all very fresh and delicious , only thing I would add would be more flavoring of the actual meat selection cuz it was a lacking a bit of flavor .

We ordered our banh mi's for takeout/to eat later. Sometimes the bread for banh mi is hard and it cuts up your mouth , the bread here wasn't and it was nice for a change lollll. Their pate did taste a little weird to me, I couldn't quite put my finger on why, but we thought that canned pate from the grocery store tasted better than the pate in the sandwich. Otherwise it's a solid, nicely packaged banh mi, but I wouldn't come back as there's other places we like more.

Order a large peach tea today. Come out is bitter, old and over ice. Not sure what happen with the tea base. I drink 1 sip and throw in the trash. Waste my money.

One of the best banh mi places in SoCal. Whenever I come here I always get the Heo Quey (Pork Belly), which honestly never disappoints. The pork belly is always tender and just melts in your mouth. I do like that it's more lean so it's not as fatty and greasy. The bread is always so light and crispy and really makes the sandwich. I would say go inside instead of the drive-thru if there's already a line of cars because the wait gets pretty long compared to walk in.

First time trying Pickle Banh Mi Co so I didn't know what to expect. I ordered a #4 Thit Nuong/Grilled Pork w/ Pate. In my opinion the Banh Mi is alittle too sweet. I liked that the bread was warm and that it was stuffed with filling but I personally could not taste the Thit Nuong. The Bahn Mi as a whole was very one dimensional, I could not taste the different ingredients put into it. If I came back, I would definitely order something different like #12 Heo Quay/Crispy Pork Belly because that seems more popular.
I loved this place, the fact that they have a drive thru made it that much more better. I ordered the chicken sandwich with a tai iced tea (don't order this iced tea). The tai iced tea is what made me give them 4 stars because I was expecting an authentic taste but I don't know what that was and it definitely didn't taste like tai iced tea. Nevertheless, I loved the freshness of their sandwich toppings and the chicken was deliciously seasoned alongside the sauces they put inside made it so good!!! Even though we did drive thru, the service was pretty fast on a Friday afternoon!

Great quality sandwich. We ordered togo and the food was still good when we got back to the office. The team loves the pork sandwich and the spring rolls.
Honestly, I tried really really hard to like this place. I heard about this place from others who reviewed carrot and daikon but this place pales in comparison, in terms of their sandwiches at least. Ok so, I got the crispy pork sandwich (heo quay). It's their most popular item. Comparing it to carrot and daikon, the mayo lacks flavor. The bread / sandwich itself also isn't as fresh and crisp (in my opinion). The pork belly meat was more on the lean side also. The drive thru took forever!! Now, what's good about this place? Their Banh cuon (first one on the menu). That Banh cuon came with a bunch of diff varieties and it was so damn good. Big portion too. So yeah, their sandwich would be a 3/5 but their Banh cuon is freaking 4.5/5! I actually prefer their Banh cuon over places like Banh cuon tay ho. Oh yeah, it has an egg in it!! Delicious!!
