Goi cuon with BBQ pork was mediocre. The pork was dry and there was more bean sprouts in the rolls than there was vermicelli.... For the banh mi, I got the special with cold cuts. It was mediocre as well. The main ingredient in the banh mi was the pickledradish and carrots as it was packed in there. You couldn?t taste anything else. Three thin round slices of cucumber rather thana regular amount. I would go somewhere else for banh mi next time. Read more

Love their Banh Mi. The shakes are good , but avoid the Durian shake! It taste like condensed milk with a tiny drop of Durian!... Just buy it somewhere else. Read more

A great lemongrass ribeye banh mi & Asian bowls. The place is clean. Delivery was a bit slow but worth the wait. Priced $. We... recommend this place. Read more

Stopped here on a Saturday morning and it wasn't very busy. First time here so I got two dac biet special with extra jalapeños,... 2 egg rolls and 5 pate so. The two young guys working were very friendly and courteous, one of them especially, was smiling theentire time he was getting my order ready and packed. The sandwiches were delicious and had a very good amount of meat inside.I loved the bread! It was nice and soft, airy with a slight crunch. They have a sign that says they make their own bread inhouse, fresh, every day. The meat and veggies were nice and fresh...at some places you can tell when they give you old meat, butnot here. The egg rolls were pretty good, but I'm sad that I ended up hating the pate so. I wanted to like it but it tastedreally funny. I'm not sure if it's the seasoning they put in the meat or something else but it tasted pretty sour and reallyoff,almost like it was going bad. I couldn't out my finger on it but I honestly couldn't eat them. I managed two of the 5 andthrew the other 3 away.. They do have some yummy looking desserts and the inside is kind of cute and trendy. Would probably bea nice spot for a lunch date. So while I did knock off one star for the pate so, I loved the sandwiches, the bread and theservice. I will definitely be back. Especially since I'm eyeing the fried chicken sandwich and lava cake on their menu that Iwant to try next time I'm in the area. Read more

Fun little casual lunch spot. Parking can be tough. Great coconut chicken soup, coffees and smoothies and their namesake banh mi... sandwiches are delicious! Prices are reasonable even if you add all the extras like egg and avocado. Read more

Cali Baguette Express, as the name implies, it is super fast service. We went here during our team lunch with my colleagues All... of us were very satisfied and had no complaints. Cali Baguette Express = Quick Service + Cheap eats The Sandwich is verysimple and fresh. It is not rich at the same time very fresh taste. I had #4 BBQ Pork, loved the freshness and taste of thewell cooked pork. Also had Fried egg sandwich earlier, which was very simple and tasty. Other items we ordered to-go *Vietnamese Donuts- Its not too sweet nor too fatty. But tastes good. * Lotus Cookie, Heaven, it is Crispy and sweet in the shapeof lotus. *** DESI ALERT*** If you are from Kerala, you do not want to miss Lotus Cookie. It is nothing but our own Achappam.Buy & eat, buy more and stock up I have only one complaint, the meet is very less in the sandwich and it was not very filling.So, next time, I have some tips to myself. Order Simple Sandwich + add more filling + add a fried egg + BRING YOUR OWN SAUCE:) Please make it with more filling, and maintain your service, price and fresh taste, you will get 5 star from me.
