5 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Venice

“Disclaimer: This review is for a Yelp Elite event in conjunction with Lokal Venice.

Thank you @Lokal.Venice & @YelpLA for introducing me to this neighborhood gem. Sarah, Julia and the Westside Yelp team knocked another one out of the ballpark - the second this week!

Vanessa at the counter was friendly and knowledgeable. She contrasted that this location was full service with drinks and a more extensive menu.

I opted for the vegetarian and she directed me to the tofu lemongrass banh mi. I was already coffee’d out after opening day of dayglow coffee in Venice earlier in the AM, so I opted for Thai iced tea. It comes with 2 non dairy options, almond and oat. Vanessa made the dealers choice of oat milk.

It took less than 10 minutes to get a fresh banh mi, as we sipped the Thai iced tea that was out in a minute.

Thai iced tea was sweet but not too sweet, and oat milk made it less heavy than dairy. It had a refreshing quality to it, and that distinct flavor of tea.

What makes a good banh mi great is the baguette. This one had a nice crunch, had just the right amount of vegan mayo to not make it soggy. You know it’s legit when you get oodles of cilantro, jalapeño and that distinct sweet spicy kick of carrots and other veggies. The tofu was lightly fried and soaked in all the flavor. It wasn’t too lemongrassy but in combination with the bread and pickled veggies, packed a punch. Overall some of the better banh mi I’ve had. It tasted fresh and was satisfying. I really appreciated their choice of hot sauce that did not have additives and other nasty fillers.

Overall a solid experience when craving the Vietnamese French sandwich, which I do often. I will be back to try their burger and some of Vanessa’s favorites on the menu: Cubano, Korean bbq banh mi and the vegan burger.

Tip: The restroom is clean but needs a key.

Tip: Free parking in the strip mall lot
Tip: Check out the lunch special from 8 am to 4 pm. At $15 for OG Burger, fries and a beer it’s the best deal in town.“

“If you are from the east coast, Great Western Cheese Steak is like being at home. I have been here for more than 30 years and will not order a cheese steak anywhere else. These are the originals!“

“The pink building was very good because we went to the blue building one and they sold us EXPIRED MILK and the food was HORRIBLE and in the pictures are FAKE from GOOGLE and the pink building it was expensive but it’s worth the price and the blue building was just cheap and not good and the people at the register were just saying like” come !I see you looking ,are you really going to buy ___ for ___ “ and they were just saying that just so they can get more costumers and they only said that because they have cheaper things. I think that overall the pink building was definitely worth the price because the food was so good and the people at the register were so nice and the people in the blue building kept saying cure words and he was calling people names by what they looked like and I get that they’re just words but still the atmosphere was not good as for the pink building they were very nice and calm also the don’t go to the blue building if you have a sensitive stomach because your stomach is going to hurt .So I think that the ocean front kitchen x poki-poke is the way to go!🤩“
