I'm soooooooo sad the new owners did not keep the original ingredients in the signature beef! It's not juicy, it had totally a different taste to it, it did not melt in my mouth and the bread had a weird taste to it I recommend people because of the yummy mouth watering sandwich today I made the drive from GG just for the signature beef and it was . How ever the lyche lemonade juice was refreshing and very tasty

This place has new ownership and is now called Pho 99 the chicken pho is really good as is the signature beef and chicken wings! Management is very nice and food came out quickly!

I prefer Ralph’s just down the street. It has a much refresher feel and offers much more

Good combination of ingredients in the Signature Beef 9.25. Yet more veggies and bread than beef. Came with a Cesar salad. Drinks are a side purchase which a combo option is available. Good customer service and quick service. Atmosphere is clean & fresh.

I always drove past and kept saying I would stop in but regrettably I had not.. Until now, at which point I am kicking myself for not trying it out sooner! Upon recommendation from the young gentleman behind the counter, I decided on the Bulgogi pulled pork hot sandwich as seen in the picture (which doesn't not do it enough justice). This sandwich was well thought out. Soft and tender pork packed with flavor met with the crispness of fresh pickled veggies and the crunch from the bread (Little heat packed in as well with the jalapeí±o slices) all come together for a very tasty and well rounded sandwich. I am looking forward to trying another sandwich in the future.

Kinda disappointing, the bulgogi meat was so overcooked it was mush. I cant remember the other sandwich we ate but it was bland.

Service is weird, sandwiches are just so-so. This place only makes sense to come to if there's nowhere else open or if you have to choose between McDonald's next door or something else.

This cafe is inside the Vons grocery store. The fried chicken and soups from this cafe are great. The salads are just o.k. staff is always courteous and helpful.

Had the Philly cheese sandwich. Bread is delicious, and the sauce they put on the sandwich has a good flavor. But the meat was fatty and tough. Couldn't eat about half of it. Turned me off from finishing the sandwich. Was hoping to find a good cheese steak place.

My family and I love this fusion bahn mi place. Portions are hearty with lots of meat. All sandwiches are great! The iced coffee is delicious too.

Very delicious especially the signature beef Sandwich and the Thai tea was amazing. I recommend to show up and try this place.

This is the second time we visited here. Both times I really liked the the taste of the sandwiches but the first time during their soft opening I wasn't impressed with the baguettes they used for the sandwiches and suggested they find another source to buy their baguettes. And I was pleasantly surprised they must have changed because I enjoyed my sandwich so much better today. I luv when the baguettes are crusty and not soft or soggy. Because the Sandwich is served warm, it's better to eat it right away before the crust does get soggy. I thought $7.50 was reasonable enough given the quality of the meat used and being so tasty. I would prefer coming here for a sandwich than spending $7 for a Togo sandwich. You can spend an extra $3 to make it a combo but I do feel this isn't worth it to also get chips and a can soda with your sandwich. I would definitely come back for the sandwiches.

The absolute rudest counter help! Since the beginning this place has never used the correct card reader. I don't know about any of you but I have a chip on my card and since the beginning they have use the cheapest card reader to read your debit card. I just went in there right now and it is still the same card reader. I guess they don't need my business I've come here since the beginning and I am not using my credit card any longer. If you want my business get a decent card reader

Wth I swear I've reviewed this place. I think I Stumbled across it a few months back (ok now it's like a year) looking for bahn mi fusion sandwiches. My biggest gripe is that they're listed as open till 6pm, but on more than a few occasions I get here around 5-520pm (I blitz over as fast as I can, 20min maybe, after work) and it's already closed up (I found them leaving/locking up right after I parked -_-). Someone there explained to me they close early cuz there's not a lot of customers for dinner usually (Then freaking don't list open till 6!!! Can you imagine if other people drive over while it's still operating hours and it's all dark and cold? ENRAGE) Bulgogi Pulled Pork $8 - it's good. Not great. Meat is plenty but not standout amazing to me. I love the bread, yea weird pro, the bread is delightfully chewy, not dry not stale, is delightful. The spicy sriracha aioli has a build up spicy profile Signature Beef (bulgogi sauce+brisket) $8.5 - I like the flavor better here but maybe 15% of this meat has that stringy tendon whatever that makes it unchewable and you spit it out. Which is not that much of a loss for me, there's plenty of meat in these sandwiches, I'd actually be happier with less meat and more of the pickled onion & carrots. Definitely want more than 1 sprig of cilantro. Please no more jalapeí±os. That plus the sriracha aioli and my mouth is on fire halfway thhru, thank goodness the bread is so chewy delicious. Again I LOVE THIS BREAD. Philly Cheese, brisket $8.5 - nothing beats a Philly cheesesteak off a stand from philly but that'd be some drive. Surprisingly I think this is the yummiest of the 4 sandwiches I've tried here. Super duper ooey gooey cheese everywhere. Again the meat quality is subpar. I could go to a Mexican stand and I wouldn't get stringy meat. Breakfast Bahn Mi $8.5 - the most underwhelming sandwich I've had here so far. The concept I like. Tastewise it's not wow or anything, just literally egg bacon ham combined with a normal bahn mi but still the soft thick bun here. Location - next lot over from McDonald's, with a steakhouse and a small gym and some american eatery and a couple other shops. IMO really bad location for high customer traffic (drive by or walk by), seems more like a local lunch hour spot or unless you're like me yelping specifically for Bahn Mi fusion sandwiches. It's really hard to notice it in the corner cuz McDonalds is very visually attracting. And from the other side it looks like a steakhouse then this American diner whatever and some small shops after. And then when you leave, right turn is the only option. To left turn you need to do a right out, then change to left lane, then u turn when able (annoying) Parking - super small lot shared by bunch of small shops and a steakhouse. It's always been ghostly when I come by for a fix. Tip: if you get to go, the sriracha aioli is inside the witch and it will ooze and drip for sure. I realize this review looks underwhelming but I greatly think they have great potential. The cute signs do me in too.
