Food is always delicious! Mongolian tofu and popcorn tofu is where it’s at. Have also had the tofu sandwich and it’s the bomb. Best vegan food in the public market!!

Yum! Just had the Pork Bahn Mi sandwich for lunch. Took it home to eat. Lots of great flavors, a little heat and the bread! Crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside! Highly recommend. Everyone is so nice there! A little hidden in the back of the market. Head straight back to the left.

Parking: The market has free guest parking downstairs behind the Arlington. Paid city lot across the street where the first 75 mins are free. Street parking around but less plentiful than the garage and city lot.

Kid-friendliness: Located in the Santa Barbara Public Market. Fun, colorful decor and you can sit at the counter and watch them cook. And if the kids want something different - all kinds of options at the market.

FAB food. Cute location. They’re tucked back in the corner of the public market, so don’t miss it!
The pork banh mi is amazing!! I’m a snob about my banh mi and hadn’t found the ~right one~ here on SB…until Three Monkeys moved into town! They’ve got the meat marinated right, fresh and pickled veg, plus that toasty roll and sweet mayo…you don’t want to sleep on this place.
I want everyone to go here so that they will never leave SB ?

Chicken satay is great. However, I warn against ordering the sticky rice. It comes wrapped in Saran Wrap and appears to be microwaved in the plastic. Like a floppy brick of rice, couldn’t even taste due to its rubbery texture.

Vegetarian options: not really easy to get something vegetarian in general in this marketplace. The Tofu is really good though.

Went to Public Market on a short lunch break and found this great spot by accident. I wanted a small, reasonably priced bite and this place delivered! I ordered the Thai chicken skewers and a side of rice. With tip, still <$20 and had leftovers! The girl working there was prompt and friendly, even during holiday weekend lunch rush. Definitely will be returning!

Food was very flavorful. Chicken satay was super juicy and the dipping sauce paired really nicely. The pork banh mi had a good balance of perfectly toasted bread, juicy pork, and fresh pickled veggies.

Very nice food. We had the beef stir fry and hungry box with skewers. Both were very tasty and restaurant quality. The skewers were chargrilled with a very nice taste. We also had coconut bread pudding that was to die for. Only downside is that the service is without a smile, but the food is easily the best in the place. Other patrons were asking where we got it.
