Special (combination) banh mi
Christopher T.

Stopped by for some bánh mì and coffee. Still a good place for it, parking still is a hassle since it share with 4 other stores and it's small. Great & friendly services, quick and easy order plus reasonable turnaround time. They do have other VNese snacks to grabs. Love their bread since it's abit chewy & crunchy outside but soft inside. The meats and the veggies are good ratio and you can taste in every bites. Coffee is fine, could be stronger, just my opinion. Prices are still in a reasonable price and the portion is good. The place is old but did got a facelift several yrs back but it has not been keeping up so it abit oldies and abit dark inside plus with all the foods and bananas everywhere, its can be clustered. Overall, with good bánh mì, good coffee and good service at a reasonable price, will definitely come back for more.

Bánh Mì Bì

My parents love this place! The menu is simple and concise with a good range of options offered. The prices are also very reasonable considering all of the other bánh mì places in the area. Their baguettes are fresh and flaky while the pickled veggies aren't too overbearing. * Bánh Mì Bì: 10/10 - perfect amount of fish sauce added * Bánh Mì Heo Quay: 8/10 - tasty but some parts of the pork were chewy The only downside about the shop is that it's located in a small corner with very few parking spaces so it'll be quite tricky getting in. The workers were super friendly and welcoming which made my experience very enjoyable. Stop by if you ever get a chance!

Where you order and they make your sandwiches

I ordered the dac biet, thit nuong, and crispy pork belly. You can get long or short sandwiches. Longer ones are skinnier baguettes. Short ones are the short fatty ones like the one pictured. The service is amazing, they're quick, friendly, and not over priced. Small mom and pop shop, no frills.

Cho Cu Bakery highly recommended by Jeffrey Merrihue (former owner of Heroic Italian in Santa Monica/Beverly Hills, CA).

Why the 3.5 Yelp stars? Ouch. I had a chance to finally stop by Cho Cu Bakery and was pretty excited because this banh mi place was highly recommended by the former owner of Heroic Italian Restaurant; and also I am always on the look out for the best Banh Mi spots. I thought Banh Mi Sandwiches here were stellar. The pate and bread are above average and I love that's it's a Vietnamese grandmas/Aunties preparing your sandwiches and running the show! This place is an old-school type banh mi shop - love! Recommend: Crispy Pork Belly and Dac Biet Special. **CASH ONLY**

such delicious banh mi! LOTS of parking but it does get busy at meal times. friendly service! English and viet! Cash only! I recommend the banh mi heo quay, or banh mi with roasted pork. I always get do chua packed separately, because I am bringing to work or somewhere else for lunch (no seating). $7.50 each I am gonna come back when I feel like eating a delicious crispy and flavorful heart attack in a baguette!!!! they have a lot of different drinks that I may try too Super convenient location it's just down the street from the 22 on Magnolia across from the park and the medical plaza Edit: tried to come here today at 6:30pm. Closed, no answer when we called. Hours on the door say it should be open till 7:30pm, on Apple Maps it says open till 8pm. sorry had to knock down some stars for the inconvenience.

Xiu mai bi

Still one of my favorite banh mi place. My go to order is the banh mi xiu mai + Bi, with extra sauce. The banh mi heo quay is also really good, crunchy pork belly skin with green onions. Those 2 are my favorite and go banh mi. The xiu mai bi with extra sauce banh mi, you have to eat it right away or at home, it gets messy but so worth it. I find that the banh mi here if you eat it right away, its really good, but if you leave it for a few hours, the texture of the bread changes. But overall its delicious.

Usually we would have to wait for a table but this time we were able to be seated right away…read more Must order is their Nam Neung Spring rolls. The sweetness of the grilled pork, the crispiness of the eggrolls wrapper bits, and the freshness of the vegetables pairs with the special sauce never fails to satisfy the craving. This time we tried their cheeseburger spring Roasted Duck spring rolls. I am not a duck fan so this was okay to me. The meat was well seasoned with the spices and the hoisin sauce was a nice balance. The crispy Vietnamese eggrolls were also a first and it was great! The meaty and crispiness of the eggrolls eaten like a lettuce wrap with the nuoc Cham sauce was delicious. This place always seems to be busy and rushed and can get a bit loud but the service is always great. They have a bar where you can grab some drinks while you wait. Their lychee martini is good. There is also a dessert display in the front where you check in which we haven't tried yet.

We just placed an order for 40 nem nuong rolls with Kaitlyn for pickup later in the afternoon…read more Giving her a shoutout for the fast and friendly service. Our family orders nem nuong from this location every time we are in the area, to eat and to bring back home. The nem nuong here are always perfectly rolled and the crunch of the fried wonton strip inside makes it feels like party in your mouth! so good! Note: requesting to cut rolls in half costs extra. We prefer this location compare to the other one because it has faster service, quieter romantic atmosphere and polite attentive staff.

I took over responsibility for another facility and needed to feed my staff. Did a quick "food…read moresearch near me" and found Mama Hieu's. I wanted to order food for 10 people and saw they had party trays. Food looked good online and tasted even better in my mouth!!! I asked for recommendations and she said that the original garlic butter was very popular both regular and spicy so I ordered 48 wings half and half.....DEVOURED. Also got the white rice with fried shallots and garlic noodles....ALL GONE! I'll definitely put them in the rotation when buying lunch for the staff. Oh there was a part of the order that was missed but they took care of it right away. Also parking at the plaza is very busy but there's parking in the back so no problems. They even brought it out to me so I wouldn't have to carry it all around the building. A+ service. If you're in the area and want some good wings...don't hesitate to stop by! Thanks guys and gals!!!!

You order from The counter and I waited about 15 minutes for my order. The restaurant had a few tables for dine-in with a cute wall decor and a few write-ups on how the restaurant was started. All the flavors were delicious and you can gauge your spicy level. Definitely should give it a try.

Arguably one of the best pho places in my opinion. I think this place is older than I am, because…read moreI've been coming here since I was a baby! Over all those years, they have never disappointed me and continue to serve really good food. I usually get the beef brisket pho and it's really good. The noodles are just the right texture, the broth is clean and flavorful, and the meat tastes fresh and tender. Their dui bo is also very good, but usually runs out after 1:00 or 2:00 pm, since they only have a limited amount of this item every day. The meat is fall off the bone tender and has a more fatty flavor to it. It usually sits in some broth that absorbs that beefy and fatty flavor from the bone. A great addition to any bowl of pho. Alternatively, I sometimes also get the bun thit nuong and it's very good. The eggrolls it comes with is wrapped with rice paper, so when it's fried up, it has such a satisfying crunch and texture to it. The thit nuong is has a nice smokey, grilled flavor to it. The shrimps are okay as well. This is a very satisfying and filling dish, so if you're looking for a high volume dish, this may be the one to get. Expect long lines during peak hours. I can confirm though that the wait is worth it! Service is always very good. The ambiance on the inside is fine, very plain and unassuming in my opinion. It's really the pho that shines through at this restaurant. Parking can be a little tricky during peak hours.

The best pho in OC hands down…read more Came in Sunday afternoon for lunch, lots of parking but busy! Be prepared for parking and maybe to wait. Put your name on the list hanging outside the door and they will call you when ready! We were sat almost immediately though. Inside is a large scale mom and pop shop that is FILLED with people and workers. We ordered a medium and large #23 pho and 2 waters, we got everything not even 5 minutes later. When I tell you this is the BEST broth I've ever had, it blew me away. I'm not one to usually order extra noodles but for this place I would order as many noodles until I ran out of broth, it is that good. Noodles were on the soggier side, I'm not picky about noodles but if you are then this is something to consider. Portions were huge for the price, very happy with that. CASH ONLY. I didn't see an ATM there but I'm sure they had one. Will always recommend and they have a new customer for whenever I'm in OC.
