Charbroiled pork Bánh Mì
Catalina M.

The food is absolutely amazing we got the Charbroiled pork banh mi which was filled to the brim with rice noodles, pickled daikon and carrots, cucumber, and savory charbroiled pork! This was absolutely a 10/10 sandwich (coming from someone who lives in OC and is a frequent bahn mi connoisseur) price was fair at around 20$ for the sandwich and a Vietnamese coffee with ube cream foam. This sandwich is the perfect size, flavor, and freshness the bread was fluffy but crispy and melts in your mouth. The coffee as Vietnamese coffee intends to be is strong but the sweetness of the ube cream adds a beautiful dimension. Never new Visalia has such a hidden gem! Beautiful service, great casual ambiance, kind staff DELICIOUS FOOD!!

Spring roll with shrimp
Edwin C.

Service: 4.7 Food: 4.4 recommend the shrimp Springs rolls On a whim, we landed at Bahn Mi Amour which was down the street from a nursing facility that my wife was doing business at. Small local business, so please support LOCAL! Their food was exceptional. The shrimp spring rolls were light but filling and they provide both a peanut sauce (actually can taste the peanut in the sauce (I think they may use peanut butter) and a traditional vinegar fish sauce dip. The wife ordered the vermicelli with sliced pork. It looks like a deconstructed version of a spring roll = soooo good and I got the dry noodle with garlicy fried chicken. The chicken was perfectly fried and crispy while the noodles were lightly seasoned and cooked in a sweet fish sauce. DONT OVER LOOK THIS PLACE! ITS A MUST TRY!!! BTW: the owners are super sweet too! There was an elderly gentleman who was down on his luck, who came inside. He asked two young girls who were dining for money just for drink (100 degree day). The young cashier didn't miss a beat and treated the man with kindness gave him the drink he ordered plus made him a large to-go water and then asked if he had eaten today. He said, "no". Then a short conversation started from the back and the owners fed the man. Me and my wife called the cashier over and told her we'll pay for his food but the owner kindly declined. Before we left we had a nice conversation with the owner and hopefully next time in town my wife can do some return business with a catering order. AGAIN you would rarely see this happen at a chain restaurant so this is why we try support small local businesses...and how we become loyal customers!!!

Chicken Pho
Gene G.

I have dined at every Vietnamese restaurant in town. My favorite is Banh Mi Amour. You will find the best Banh Mi Sandwiches here. It is not just the Sandwiches , everything on their menu is delicious. From Rice Plates , Noodle plates , Pho, appetizers, drinks , every item is top notch. My normal meal consist of Shrimp Toast for appetizer, Hu Tieu Noodle Soup ( I discovered it on recent visit to Ho Chi Minh ) and Iced Coffee. Shrimp Toast and Hu Tieu , you will not find it anywhere in town. ( I always order these 2 items and highly recommend them). Shrimp Toast alone is almost a meal. It consist of Creamy Shrimp baked on slices of Baguette. Once you try it , you will always order it. That is true for the Hu Tieu. It is similar to Pho, consist of Pork, Crab,Shrimp, Quail Eggs with a tasty broth. I always order these 2 items. You well , once you try them. Their work staff is friendly, cheerful and helpful. It is a nice atmosphere and great place to dine at *** May is AAPI Heritage Month. Support Asian owned businesses. I plan to patronize as many as possible. *** Stop # 10

Delicious!! Honesty has become one of my favorite banh mi places in the Central Valley! When I went, the place was pretty packed. The food came out in about 20 or so minutes but they did forget my sister's beef pho. Once we all got our food, everything was great!

Specials

Came here on a whim and really glad that I did. The food here is solid. Ordered two banh mi sandwiches and at least the egg banh mi was really good. However, they could have been a little more clear that there was pate in the sandwiches, and listed potential substitutes for that (like mayo or butter), but they didn't say that on the phone when I ordered. Logistically, it can be difficult too. Even though I ordered 15 minutes prior to going into the shop, I had to wait in line for everyone else to order (there's no separate line), and that took a good amount of time given how busy they were in the lunchtime rush. But it is clear this is a popular lunch spot, and that the food is solid. I would definitely return given the good quality of the food. The bread was flaky and the ingredients were fresh. There is plenty of indoor seating, even though the shop is located in a center that is not very well used. Overall, a nice hole-in-the-wall shop serving up some really good Vietnamese food.

Fried tofu vermicelli
Julius M.

Heading to Mariposa, we decided to make a quick stop in Visalia and try Banh Mi Amour--one of the highest-rated spots on Yelp. Since it was Good Friday, we went with some lighter (and non-meat) options for my wife and me: the fried tofu vermicelli and shrimp spring rolls. For the boys, we got the charbroiled pork banh mi and the pork and shrimp plate. Everything was extremely flavorful--the kind of bold, fresh Vietnamese taste that hits just right. The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was friendly. It's a great little gem of a Vietnamese restaurant tucked away in Visalia. Definitely worth stopping for if you're passing through the Central Valley! Highly recommend. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

Inside the Restaurant
Nancy C.

I used to live here, and back then there weren't many Asian food options--but that's definitely changed! I was visiting from out of town and decided to stop by after seeing so many great reviews. We tried a variety of banh mi, and everything was delicious and very satisfying. We also ordered vermicelli bowls, and the portions were generous. No pictures because we were hungry and ate it up quick. The servers were really friendly and helpful, and they were patient while I was ordering. There was a bit of a wait, but that's because everything is made to order, which is totally worth it. The restaurant itself is cute and inviting, with modern decorations. Overall, a great experience, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in town again.

Special Beef Pho
Muriel T.

The Special Beef Pho is one of the most flavorful bowls of pho I've had. The portion was generous, which is expected for pho, and the balance of meat and noodles was spot on. It was so well seasoned that I didn't need to add any condiments. The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong--in a good way--with great flavor. The restaurant itself was clean with nice decor. Ordering is done at the counter and then you take a seat; while it's not full table service, the food came out quickly. I came during the lunch rush and almost didn't get a table, which says a lot about how popular the place is. Overall, a really good experience

Fried chicken leg and rice
Joyce T.

Visited the restaurant on Friday 5pm, there's not many people there, we ordered takeout, fried chicken leg with rice, banh mi and shrimp toast. It took us about 30 minutes for the food, not sure what caused the long wait, I saw there were 4-5 staffs in kitchen. The food were mediocre, amour special banh mi was served cold, fried chicken was okay but the rice was tasteless, toast was crispy but the shrimp mayo was tasteless and hardly any shrimp meat in it.

Appetizer tofu
Julie H.

Overall the experience was fine. The place was small and quaint. The service was good. One server, she was very interactive. I really enjoyed her service. She was serving everyone their food. I went with the s/o and friend. We ordered: The chicken leg with rice. The consomme is sweet 4/5 Beef pho, lacked stock flavor 4/5 The eggroll , love the outer shell 4/5 Salt and pepper Tofu. The veggies needed to cook more and the tofu needed to be tossed more in the flavor. 3/5 I did order the banh mi amor sandwiches to go... looking forward to that. Overall I would come back again. I'm back from my banh mi and I would say... I understand why everyone raves about the sandwich. So good! The banh mi alone was 5/5. If you're eating in, make sure to grab a sandwich to go! My friends and I are already planning to come back for the banh mi.

Thai Tea
Sam C.

Just discovered another Asian/Vietnamese Restaurant in the Visalia Area! Wanted to check it out and dine in with wife Upon arrival, I think we beat the lunch rush around 12:45 p.m. because there were plenty of seat and tables available. Granted the business establishment is small and located next to Chuck E. Cheese. So there wasn't really any wait time to get seated and we paid up front as we ordered our food We ordered their Pho Soup Noodle Beef Special, Spring Roll with Marinated Grill Pork, Banh Mi Amour Special Sandwich, Thai Tea and Vietnamese Coffee. The Pho Soup Broth was delicious and hit on point! They didn't skimp out on the meats, which is a great thing! The Pork Spring roll was yummy too! We enjoyed the quality of meats they took time marinating and grilling. Not to chewy and the flavor and texture was perfect! Their Banh Mi Amour Special had to be our favorite! We've been trying to find a location that makes and sell Banh Mi Sandwich near our area. I think this will be our go to spot from now on for Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich. Bread was fresh, crispy, vegetable such as carrots and dicon was fresh and the meats was also tasty Food didn't take long at all to arrive to our table. I have to say I like their speedy and friendly service. Cashier Girl up front was nice and friendly. No complaints with their customer service. I would definitely recommend my family and friends to come try out this business establishment!

Shrimp toast
Nina C.

Had the shrimp toast and the mixed cold cut banh mi. Both were very reasonable. The shrimp toast was generous - five or six rounds of fresh baguette topped with the hot chopped shrimp mixture for about $11. Saving the banh mi for later, but I have been here once before for their grilled chicken banh mi and found it to be very good. Everything was fresh, and the place was clean - the counter workers were wiping down all the chairs in between customers - the seats and the legs! Nice to see. Will definitely be back.

China Garden - Fried Extras that come with the Daily Special

when will you reopen??? missing the food so much. Can't compare to any other place. Please keep…read moreyour loyal customers posted on when you will reopen or if you will reopen again?

Had Chinese food here for the first time today because we wanted to try something other than Panda…read moreExpress. I saw the Dinner Combo plates menu here and the decent price so we decided to try it out! The service was friendly and the ambiance was dull and environment is dated. Let's talk about the food! We ordered the Daily Special which is now $16.50(?)-ish as of 5/2024. It came with orange chicken, broccoli beef, pork fried rice, pork chow mein, fried shrimp, fried chicken wings, and fried wontons. A LOT of food , RIGHT?! We were super eager to get our food! The parking lot was empty when we got there and there were no customers at the time. We purchased our order and drove home. Upon opening our box, everything looked like your ordinary Chinese food. All the fried stuff was extremely fried. They did not look appetizing at all. Super dry. The wontons were plain and flat. I thought we were going to get the wontons with stuffing inside, but no. Fried shrimp ? Shrimp was pretty non-existent. The fried chicken wings..we didn't even try it because it looked like mystery meat to us (bleh). We enjoyed the orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and chow mein. The pork fried rice was eh. Nothing special about it. The rice was a little dry and lifeless too. I don't think it needed the pork. Too much meat in one meal. Overall, we gave this place a solid 3. All the fried extras weren't edible. We felt like it was just leftovers they're trying to get rid of. Would choose Panda Express over this place any day.
