We've had Banh Mi Che Cali at numerous locations and always try to take advantage of the buy 2 sandwiches, get 1 free deal. Today was no exception, as we picked up three of their dac biet + headcheese. The meats and pate were very tasty. Since we came early in the morning, the bread also seemed fresher. Overall, a pretty solid banh mi at about $4 a piece after the discount. Don't expect alot of bells and whistles with their sandwiches, their main selling point is that they're cheap. The restaurant is quite spacious with plenty of sit down space. Service did seem a bit slow, and this was to the point that a group behind me just left because they were tired of waiting to order (there were literally three customers including me). Might have just been a weird time in the morning, but still seemed like only one employee was making any effort to get orders fulfilled. read more

The worst customer service. I door dashed an order and it's been an hour and a half and they are still preparing my order. They should not be taking orders it'd they can't handle the volume. I used to like this place but remember why I stopped coming here. Omg and now they cancelled my order after an hour and a half waiting. This establishment should be shut down. read more

Such a disappointing experience Not all locations are the same Menus are similar and they seem to offer the same deals. But if items were going to be so anorexic, they should just charge more and have a better product The bread was so pale. Lacked the rich golden color Ingredients were skimpy and sandwich lacked the umami sauce that is traditionally there Better to just drive to garden grove to get it right read more

Banh Mi Che Cali - Their special sandwich is not so special here - Vietnamese Near Me - Fullerton, California

Been more than 7 years since. Quality went down then and seems it hasn't improved. Had to find something quick so thought id try it again. Cashier was nice. Their famous banh mi is thit nuong/pork but not sure the portions match the price. At $5.99, looks like slim pickings. They had a deal for pate chaud, $3 each buy 2 get 1 free. Bread to meat isnt close. Enough to make me feel little better but not good enough to make me want to come back for more. Some people like bread so they'll pay for extra bread. You do you. Carrots and daikon opened up in placenta, try that place for banh mi! Not sure if they have Pate chaud. read more

BUN BO HUE, I tried fried rice, banh mi, coffee etc. I love it here. The food is yummy and the price is great, the portion is also solid. read more

Now I remember why we don't come to this location. No hot foods ready for purchase. The banh mi have shrunk with hardly anything inside now. The spring rolls used to come in packs of 3 but now is just 2. Wife said the grilled sausage tastes rubbery. No more BOGO drinks. Just do yourself a favor and visit the other locations. read more

Tried to walk in at 8:20 pm and a lady approached us saying they were closed. The sign says they close at 9:00. Wouldn't come here again. read more

The place is very rundown on the inside, there's even an area closed off that looks like it hasn't been used in months based on how dirty it is. We placed our order at the front and the staff is friendly. When we were sat down an employee also checked on us so that we wouldn't wait long. Everything else about this restaurant is just not good. I ordered a Teriyaki Chicken Banh Mi, and admittedly it's very cheap. You get one free if you buy two. But even then it's still not worth it, it's a nothing sandwich. There's barely any meat, and even when you get a bite with protein it doesn't really taste like anything. My teeth couldn't cut into the chicken so huge pieces would come out of the bread, and the sauce was only on one side. I would much rather pay more for a sandwich I could enjoy. The other banh mis were the same, so mine wasn't just a fluke. I unfortunately really regretted my decision to eat there, and I hope that they at least improve the recipe. read more

We've been here only a handful of times and as a vegetarian I'm not a fan. I've tried the veggie sandwiches and this time tried the pad see eww with tofu. The consistency and textures were not what I'm use to when it comes to Thai food. The iced coffee was fantastic. And the milk tea boba was a hit. The Thai dessert was also fabulous and we got another to go. The hubby tried the pork vermicelli bowl and said it was good. Mama ordered the diced beef and rice plate and she enjoyed it all. She would return to have it again. The service was slow to start and non existent when you receive your food. Which is expected for this type of establishment. The dining area is spacious but messy. read more

Review 108/365 Day Challenge This is my go to for a quick local Banh mi fix. Especially when i use to live in Fullerton. Also good good their quick food to go that's premade. Also is a restaurant for decent Vietnamese food including Pho & grilled pork chops. They offer different milk teas with tapioca boba toppings $ 6 but have a BOGO free deal. What we ordered ~ milk teas w rainbow jelly is good. ~ thai green milk tea with tapioca aka boba is good. Not overly sweet. Tapioca boba is decent. ~ Tri color dessert is a known Vietnamese Che aka dessert. A bit on the sweet side but teally good. Also have Vietnamese dessert/Che. I'll have to update on their banh mi. It's been awhile since I've had their Banh Mi sandwiches. Service is ok, it's a bit hard w language barrier which ends up turning into un politeness. Restuarant can use a bit updated. It's like a hole in the wall type of vibe. Located in the same plaza as Costco Warehouse & Amazon Fresh market, next to Panera Bread. Lots of parking available. But can be packed due to Costco warehouse shoppers. read more

I have been here several times and the service here is awful. I usually come for the banh mi sandwich deal, but there are times when they run out of bread or they don't call your number but the food sits there. I have been told not to sit in a cleaned area during business hours. If you are in a hurry, definitely don't bother coming here. I won't be back after multiple bad experiences. read more

Went with a friend who was craving PHO . Ordering and restaurant lay out is a.bit confusing service was fast with my PHO arriving quickly it was accompanied by fresh Baudelaire, been sprouts and a wedge of lime. I chose rare beef as my protein. I found it more medium and a bit tough. The restrooms while acceptable in cleanliness, suffered from an unpleasant odor that did not change over the course of our visit. The butterfly tea was nice. Parking is. Challenging on the weekend due to crowds at Costco. read more

As prices are continuing to climb on everything and anything in United States and especially in California, you will never find another Vietnamese spot with prices so low. A bowl of Pho is $15.95 to $23.95 in most places these days. Here I got a bowl for $11.95. The sandwiches were $5.95 and buy two and get one free. The prices are absolutely unbeatable. I picked up a bunch of to go items for later consumption and got a couple of soups and sandwiches to go. 2 Pho, 3 Bahn Mis, Spring Rolls, 3 Fried buns, and iced coffee for $55. Unbeatable prices. The reason why this place is not getting the fifth star from me is because the rare steak for the Pho was absolutely horrible and chewy and I think it's either a bad cut or the wrong cut of beef for Pho. And the other reason is because the place needs a little facelift and some deep cleaning because it's starting to look old and dirty. read more

We decided to check out Pho Banh Mi Che Cali based on a recommendation, and overall it was a solid experience. We started with the barbecue ground beef banh mi and the shrimp spring rolls. The banh mi was savory and flavorful, though I did feel like there was a bit more bread than meat but still enjoyable overall. The shrimp spring rolls came with the dipping sauce and were delicious all the way through, fresh and well balanced. For our entrée, we went with the special combination pho, and that was definitely the highlight. It had a good amount of meat, plenty of noodles, and was very well done. I really enjoyed it from start to finish. read more

I grew up eating at all the BMCC locations in SGV so I know what the quality should be. I originally was going to grab the Gỏi cuốn but these were so sad looking. They were half the size of what they use to be and then. So I opted for a baguette bahn mi and 2 French rolls to take home. They sold me day old French rolls because they were stale and hard. I should have checked before leaving. Not sure if this is a location issue but definitely won't be visiting this one again. read more

When there are so many specials, nothing is special :( 2.5 stars on Yelp is accurate. Ordered two sandwiches with a third one free, two teas (one BOGO drink), and two dishes for a total of $45. Super cheap prices.. for a reason. My green Thai iced tea was yellow? Tasted fine with all the sugar. Banh mis were passable, bread was just a little longer than my hand and mostly bread. Combo vermicelli was mostly noodles and needed more of everything else. Shrimp was tiny and grilled pork was also small. Overall, everything was just okay but I will never come back because there's so many better options. read more

Did the ownership change? The menu has changed for sure. Now there's hot pot on the menu - very confusing. No more 2 for 1 on the milk teas. Now they have small and large. Kind of sad for the loss of getting 2 flavors for the price of 1. The sandwich filling is barely there now. And we had no jalapeño in any of our sandwiches. The kicker was the Tofu sandwich instead of the Teriyaki that we ordered. read more

I was in the area and saw this Bahn Mi shop, haven't had one in a while so thought I would grab a couple. Service was quick, and lots of choices. We got the Dac Biet, and beef teriyaki bahn mi sandwiches. Where do I even begin. The two Dac Biet were lacking the meats and other items that should be in it. According to the Yelp summary it stated lots of meat. There was a small and I mean small amount of carrots, no daikon, no cucumber, little pate spread. I ask the preparer to add extra cilantro to the sandwiches. They put one sprig of cilantro in each sandwich. Don't even get me started on the bread it crumbled in my hand and was tasteless. I am not sure if the bread was old or what, but it was not good at all. You couldn't give these sandwiches away even with the buy 2 get one free special. I mean really if your business is going to make sandwiches like these then just stop and close the doors. Take my advice stay away from this awful banh mi store. read more

Worst BMC eggroll I've ever tried. I bought 8 pieces at 12:30noon. They are warm outside but almost cool inside. The wrap was not fully cooked and hard thick inside. The hard wrap made the taste of the meat like paper and it was hard to chew. They should taste them first before selling and/or not be selling old batch. Terrible! read more

The food is pretty average, but the frequent sandwich deals keep drawing me back. The service isn't anything special, but it's also about what you'd expect from a fast-casual spot. If you're looking for a quick, inexpensive meal, it gets the job done. read more

I was here just to pick up some banh mi in a rush. There was a line on a Sunday afternoon! Then I noticed they have hot pot on the menu !? They look like individual pots, like the ones from Boiling Point. The banh mi was good and it was B2G1! Free and plenty of parking in the lot. They are next to Panera Bread in the Amazon Fresh plaza (next to Costco). read more

Stopped by here on a whim the other day after filling up at Costco. I must say that this is likely the cleanest franchise operator of the BMC chain that we've seen. It's evident that this is a popular spot as well, as we saw multiple people come in and out as we waited for our order - which took less than 10 minutes. Perfect! This will be our new spot for banh mi cravings. read more

Stopped in for a quick meal and ended up seriously impressed. The chicken pho was super flavorful, light, and comforting--exactly what you want in a good bowl. Everything tasted fresh, from the broth to the herbs and sides. The place itself was really clean and had a nice, relaxed vibe. On top of that, the prices were great for the quality and portion size. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to--highly recommend if you're craving a solid, delicious pho! read more

Should have walked out when there's no one really inside. Banh mi flavor is fine but the baguette is stale and hard.

This review is for a few times that I ate in this place and I always I asked for the same to eat. Place is decent, no fancy, no fast food style but good and rapid service. Clean and spacious, Parking lot is always a issue Beacuse is in the Costco parking lot as well This P5 is always good , taste, amount and temperature is always right, Definitely recommend this place for this option Price is not too high or too low $11 I think is fair compare with other places. read more

The sandwiches are very good, but bring cash. It's a $10 minimum if you use card and I'm able to buy a sandwich and a can of soda for about $7. One of the few places you can buy lunch for under $10. I love their BBQ beef and sometimes they do buy one get one free and it's worth it. Wait time varies, I recently visited and I second in line and it took about 12 minutes to get my sandwich which I unusually long for a small sandwich, but it's worth it. They share the space with a Pho place, so if you say you want a number 1, you have to clarify if you want a number 1 from the Pho place or from them. They are on Harbor, just west of the Cotco in the same parking lot. read more

I don't like their chicken noodle soup... I CRAVE their chicken noodle soup. When cold weather starts to hit I want my noodles. The broth is always perfectly clean and yummy, never overly salty or sour like other places I've tried. I've cut back on my portion sizes for most foods but will always finish every drop of my soup!

i've come here all the time since I was a child to get food with my mom, and the pho is always delicious. I will say in terms of service, today while I was getting food for myself because I didn't feel like eating here, but my mom did, I tried to call about three separate times within 20 minute intervals so I could just ask if I could place a pick up order. in the three times that I called while I went to get groceries at target, and also get in and out for myself, and then once more as I was leaving the In-N-Out drive-through, not once did they pick up. it's not something super trivial for me, because I have time to sit and wait if I go there, but it would've been nice for them to pick up at least once. food was quick, even though there was a short line, I got R5 with fried rice and A5. ambience is always good, the place is usually empty so it's not like there's a whole lot to look at. It's just their kitchen, a restaurant to the side, and a little deli section for you to check out some drinks. I like that their online website has their menu selection for you to see, including with several pictures of the exact menu and even the menu that they provide when you're there. read more
