The filet mignon shaken beef banh mi was EXACTLY what I needed. High quality, so good, and a massive portion! Love this spot and the service is really attentive.

Alvin and Pamela run an outstanding Vietnamese restaurant with excellent service and top notch food!

Absolutely incredible banh mi sandwich. The bread was incredibly fresh, and the tofu and mushroom filling was very flavorful. Can’t recommend highly enough. Also, Alvin (co-owner) is a true class act gentleman. Can’t recommend the experience highly enough.

The food is consistently delicious, the service very personable, and the atmosphere cozy. I’ve never tasted such FRESH vegetables, I think it’s key to why the food is so good, and as a vegan, there are so many amazing options! The owners make it a point to remember repeat customers which makes you feel welcomed as well.

Bun and Mi isn’t just my favorite Vietnamese restaurant — it’s one of my favorite places in LA, period. The food is consistently delicious (seriously, the garlic tofu bites are next level), but what truly makes it special are Alvin and Pamela.

They bring such warmth, generosity, and authenticity to the experience that every visit feels like coming home. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, they greet you like an old friend, remember your order, and somehow make each meal feel like a mini celebration.

If you're looking for incredible Vietnamese food served with heart and hospitality, Bun and Mi is the spot.

Bun mi beef sandwich and pho ga are very good

Nestled in the heart of Montana Avenue, this charming Vietnamese eatery offers a concise yet delightful menu for dine-in (note: limited seating) or takeout. Their standout Banh Mi impresses with a crispy baguette, accompanied by a tantalizing array of toppings - from tangy pickled carrots and daikon to creamy house-made mayo, vibrant cilantro, and spicy jalapeños for that extra kick. Protein choices include chicken, shrimp, shaken beef, or braised pork, but the vegetarian version, featuring tofu and mushrooms, is equally exceptional. Alternatively, these fillings can be enjoyed in a rice, noodle or salad bowl.

Be sure not to overlook their pho as well as the blueberry lemonade with chia seeds, a refreshing and healthful beverage choice.

Freshness is a priority here, with the chef-owner consistently ensuring each dish meets their high standards, right from the bar/kitchen to your table.

Everything was so flavorful and authentic. I did not want the pho to end! Shrimp and pork spring rolls were a burst of great tastes! Kudos to the couple who founded it and have created this gem !
