This place has been around for a while. The last time I came by, I ordered the special sandwich. Which was okay, 3/5. The sandwich was a little hard/chewy (stale) but edible, and the price was about $4. During that time, I wanted to order some French bread for my homemade Currys soup, and I asked the workers if the bread was soft or hard. He said it's good. I asked if they could squeeze it with the grabber(tongs), and they said no. Pretty much, they make you buy it regardless if its fresh or not. 1/5. Bad business. Today, I wanted Banh Mi sandwich and coffee. So, I decided to give them a try again. Everything is pretty much the same. Same workers since the business is family owned. The price for sandwiches has gone up, and it's now about $7 plus. Average compared to other places. The experience ordering was okay, 3/5. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Drink: 1. Vietnamese Ice Coffee Sandwich: 1. #7 Special Banh Mi Sandwich The sandwich was okay, same from the last time. The bread is stale, cold but edible. Everything inside is at a minimum. It's definitely not worth $7, but maybe $5. I'll give the sandwich 3/5. The Vietnamese ice coffee is okay, less sweet since they only put a dap of condensed milk. Hmmm... 3/5. Overall, this place would be my last resort when it comes to Banh Mi and the customer service experience. Give them a try for yourself, you might get a better experience. Don't take my word. You just never know. Best of luck, though. Be prepared to wait for parking since its share parking with a grocery store, 3/5. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

This place is a hidden gem! I'm v picky about my banh mi and this place does not mess around--absolutely delicious sandwiches!! I also picked up an ice dessert drink to try and the guy made it from scratch. It was delicious and 100% worth the wait. I am definitely returning. Please support this place because I will be devastated if my fave sandwich shop ever goes away.Parking: Free parking lot shared with the supermarket

Great little bakery and food service. I needed to bring a platter of spring rolls for an event at work. My previous go-to spot, KC Bakery, closed so I had to find another place. My friend recommended Star Bakery and it turned out great. The spring rolls tasted fresh and looked beautiful, and the dipping sauce was equally delicious. I forgot to take a photo though. Anyways, Star also had other ready to go items as well as a shaved ice bar. I want to come back and try more dishes.

We got the star special sandwich and palm fruit dessert. The sandwich was really good - the star special comes with extra cold cut meat than the other sandwich on its menu, better than Lee's sandwiches! The dessert was also really good, total for both was $9. They close at 4:30 pm every day except for wed which is when they close for the whole day. They accept cash only - would return again!

First time going there and all I can say is that. Its a bomb spot. I was looking for some banh mi thats not Lee's and this place did not disappoint. They made the sandwich right aftet i ordered. Then they have different meals ready by the cashier. I picked this bbq chicken and its so good! Im definitely going back to this place again! PARKING: Plenty of spots its in a small plaza infront if a mini grocery marketSERVICE: fast and very attentive of what you needI rarely give 5 stars but this places takes it

The BBQ Pork and BBQ Sandwiches are very delicious.Two stars off because of an incident that occurred and the response provided from the cashier. I ordered two orders of Chinese Bread/Cha Quai. When I took a bite from one of them, it was extremely hard.I spoke with the tall gentleman who handles the cashiering responsibilities to request for a refund. He insisted that it was fresh and responded that it should get microwaved; then, he denied a refund.Because of the apathetic manner he responded and the lack of willingness to correct the issue, I will not be returning back. I recommend getting your Chinese Bread/Cha Quai at Rice String Noodle Shack or Phnom Penh Noodle Shack.

The BBQ pork Cambodian sandwich here is phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and get one of these. For $6 you're not going to find anything better, anywhere.

Very disappointed. The dessert counter was not set up when I was there @8:30am. Banh Mi sandwiches was not that good. Did NOT have pate in it. Only 2 twig of cilantro. Can never compare it to real Vietnamese sandwiches in Westminster or Garden Grove.

I used to love this place until today. They used a very old bread to make my sandwich, not crispy, just hard like a rock. Why?
Yummy food, desserts and drinks!!! Best place to get yummy shaved iced on Hot days like these!!!

CLOSED WEDNESDAY's I love that they sell a variety of my favorite coconut desserts with different fruits. They also have other packaged foods such as spring rolls ready to pick up and go. Lastly, the classic shaved ice and canned jelly/fruits are hard to find, but they sell it! The gentleman there is always so polite. The only downside is if you order food, it may take awhile.

One of the best Phnom Penh noodle’s in LB… I’d say skip the noodle shack and grab a bowl here to go… excellent service and excellent food.
