I first discovered this place while working at a nearby job site, and since it was so close, I decided to give it a try. I ordered some meat skewers and a plate of rice with beef, and I was absolutely blown away—not just by how delicious everything was, but also by how incredibly affordable it is. The flavors were spot on, and every bite was satisfying. I highly recommend stopping by and exploring the rest of the menu—there’s no doubt you’ll find something amazing!
Great location with easy parking behind the shop. Got the grilled pork banh mi ($7) and the large 24 oz. iced espresso with condensed milk ($6). Cousin got the veggie banh mi ($7) and 16 oz. Thai tea ($5). Also enjoyed their pork egg roll for $1.25, hot and crispy!
I really enjoyed the food and beverage, but did find it a bit strange to see just how many peanuts were in my banh mi. A little less peanuts and a little more grilled pork would go a long way!

Easily the best banh mi in the area! Each ingredient in the sandwich was perfectly balanced. The first bite is always so delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend paring any of their sandwiches with one of the fruit teas. Friendly service and convenient parking.

I love a good banh mi. I have seen their other My Tho shops and this is the first one I'm trying.
I got the speacial (dac biet), grilled pork sandwich (thit heo nuong), vermicelli rice noodles (bun thit heo cha gio), and grilled lemongrass pork roll.
The sandwiches are great but I wish the bread were baguettes. Their bread are house rolls. Vermicelli noodles could use some more sauce as the one that were in the box just didn't seem to really add too much flavor to it. Grilled lemongrass pork roll was delicious. It's basically a rolled up bun thit heo (vermicelli rice noodles). Dipping gives you more flavor in every bite.
Took about 15min for the food to be ready, not too bad. They have seating on the side. Only downside is that they close early (4pm).
Banh mi did not disappoint. This is just as good as their other location on Alhambra. The only difference I noticed is that they give more veggies.
Repeat: a big yes. See picture for yummy picture.

New location for me, but same great food and service. Line was non existent during lunch which is rare. Not sure if it’s because of the location or if they are new, but was a surprise. Hope they get busier for all our sakes though as we need great small business to flourish. I actually have two locations that are closer to my office, but good to know I have at least one more option to consider. This one has a lot more seating, albeit outside as well.

We ordered 7x banh mi - 4x combination, 1x chicken, 1x nem, and 1 pork. Very disappointed as the meats tasted either strange or tasteless. Didn’t seem to be authentic. Also tried to order in Vietnamese but doesn’t seem like anyone working in this place is.

You would better off going to Banh Mi Che Cali.

Fast and responsive on the orders. Calling ahead helps quite a bit. Also, they calculate the tax such that totals are always increments of a quarter.
