“ Authentic banh mi. The 6 could be sold on the streets of Ho Chi Minh. The bread is so fresh and has the flaky crust of a really good baguette. Toppings are fresh and spicy. And only 8? Wow! Mom and pop restaurant and they are very friendly. I ordered a ham 6 and a BBQ pork 4 banh mi and a delicious iced Vietnamese coffee. Quick service and great quality. Not much seating is the only downside. Otherwise, if you like banh mi you need to try it out! ”
“ Theres a sweet older gentleman that runs this place and I love coming here! I get the vegetarian banh mi hoagie and summer roll with Thai tea. ”
“ I love Banh Mi Cali. CASH ONLY though. Very friendly people. Ive gotten their drinks which are always homemade and good can never go wrong with vietnamese coffee and homemade limemade. I always pick up a banh mi or 2 because its so good and I think its their bread that makes it so delicious. Most places their bread is too soft and makes the sandwich soggy. Theirs are fresh and crispy! I always get the regular ham hoagie or their shrimp one is one of their popular main items. They do make rice platters, egg rolls and summer roll as well! ”
