Chewy pandan tapioca rice cakes - amazing!!
Aurora L.

Pandan tapioca rice cakes - LOVED IT. You can peel layers off. Perfectly chewy. Here's the interesting part - they're unsweetened, but a sweet syrup is included to dip in. I loved this feature since I can control the level of sweetness! The syrup almost tastes similar to caramel. It was fun peeling thin layers at a time and dipping. Service was great. Jeanette was fun to talk to :) I will def come back many times!

Banh mi dac biet
Jimmy S.

The banh mi here is pretty good. The bread was soft and the meat and veggies are fresh. I got the special banh mi dac biet. It had the pate, ham and other items typical of that sandwich. It was very good and had good flavor with the pickled vegetables. The meat portion didn't seem as large as I thought as it cost around 7.50 but it didn't seem to be as much as I would expect a that price point. The staff was nice and the wait wasn't too long for the sandwich as this place gets busy. It's a small shop with various other items like dessert and rice dishes as your typical banh mi shop.

Call in your order, If you can foresee the future call in the morning and tell them what time you want to pick up. I got the #7 bbq meat ball with fried egg on top. It's a solid add on next time try the fried egg. Also the egg rolls it's really meaty. Parking is getting bad because of da vien, you might as well park across the street. The store is tiny probably doesn't have ac, small and difficult to reach the front counter when busy

Tried this out today without really doing any research beforehand but was curious as there were long lines outside (I was at Da Vien Coffee next door). A bit curious I waited in line and got the charbroiled pork banh mi sandwich. I was really happy with the size and quickness of getting my order and overall was satisfied with everything. Meat was so tender and the bread was really soft and easy to chew! The vegetables were really juicy and tasty. Wish they added more cilantro on my sandwich. Parking is available in the plaza but can get really busy so plan ahead and go early if you can. Also cash only

Drinks and stuff

I didnt know they sold banh beo. I bought one to try and they were so cute. I loved it. I threw it on a plate to reheat ir fir a little bit and devoured it all. It was a small snack. The banh mi cha is always my go to. But i probably just like the bread,pate and mayo.

The original location just got more crowded with the addition of Da VIEN next door Remember that you can call ahead to order to minimize waiting This place still makes a solid Vietnamese iced coffee. Love their meatballs You can get ready made rice rolls and noodle plates here There is large menu to order other plates and their classic sandwiches

This is my absolute go-to whenever I'm craving banh mi. I've been coming here for years with my family and we always get the grilled beef banh mi. I personally don't like the vegetables but you can ask for it on the side. We like to call and place our order since this place is always busy. It's a small little shop with a few employees so it does that a little time to get your order prepared. Their egg rolls are also super fresh and taste amazing! It has an amazing crunch with every bite. Their grilled beef is also extremely tender and thin so every bite can be enjoyed without needing to break your jaw. Parking can be a little difficult to find if you come here during peak hours. They have a small lot in front of their store and some street parking.

roasted pork ($7.5) - was recommended this one since it is their most popular banh mi - i love it so so much! It's got tender juicy pork that was well marinated - baguette was crisp and nicely toasted - the pickled veggies were well prepped too rating: 4.6/5 - this price for what it is is truly unbeatable - i dont know where else you can find banh mi longer than your face for only $7.5 - it tasted great but my favorite would sitll be the one in oc called carrot & daikon, because it's got more sauce to it and bursts of flavor - no inside seats and cash only - very limited parking but people come and go so it wouldn't be too - inside is very small and feels like a random small stall you'd find in asia if you need to grab some food real quick - super fast and friendly service!

#15 pork chop/ shredded pork/ baked egg with steamed rice
Dez T.

This place is it for báhn mì! It's a popular mom and pop shop. They are cash only. It's not fancy or expensive. You can get a solid meal for around $10. The service is friendly and welcoming! The ambience is homey and cozy and old school vibes! The smell is nostalgic like someone's home cooking. They sell lottery tickets, traditional Vietnamese sauces and desserts. The pandan desserts are my fave! The food is delish it's fresh ingredients and the bread is so perf Plenty of free parking!

Bread was pretty stale that it crumbled sadly
Katie C.

CASH ONLY. What happened.. Haven't been here in about a year. And really wanted to grab one of my favorites but was so disappointed. Filling of their banh mi wasn't what was the issue. Their baguette bread was. Bread seemed old and I can't pin point what was old about it. It was pretty crumbly before I even took a bite and noticed that it was cracked in odd places, not talking about the cut down the middle they usually do. Just after 2 bites the baguette started coming apart. It was noticeably dry and seemed stale. We visited on a Wednesday late morning a little after 10am. Not sure if they just had old bread from the day before which isn't common for them since they're always busy. Or they changed their bread recipe.. It was such a bad banh mi, I might not come back after over a decade of supporting them.

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the fresh, crusty bread, flavorful meats and fillings, and affordable pricing. The fast, friendly service and menu variety also stand out.

Ask the Community - Banh Mi My Tho

Does the banh mi sandwich contain peanuts in the sauce?

I don't believe that there's any peanuts in the sauce in their sandwich. The meatball or grilled pork most likely contains peanuts. You can have them removed or don't add in.

Is the meat in the banh mi served heated or is the meat at room temperature?

heated

Can someone please verify Friday's operating times? thank you

7am - 4pm

Says at the restaurant pick up is online order only. Where do I go to put the order in?

you should call in to place an order, that's what i did!

Are the spring rolls gluten free?

Likely yes because of the ingredients.

Do they use MSG? My friend and I are very sensitive to it

Do you eat tomatoes or Parmesan cheese? Those are LOADED with MSG

Are the banh mi here but 2 get 1 free? I'm getting mixed answers

No promotions such as buy 2 get 1 free here.

Is it still cash only even though it's covid?

Yes

Can you purchase the bread?

Yes, they will sell you baguettes if you like.

How is the Alhambra location observing social distancing if the customer portion is standing room only and quite small?

They're only allowing one customer to enter at a time. Everyone else has to stay in line outside.

Do they take card?

It is cash only in the Alhambra location. The Rosemead location takes credit card.

Do they use MSG in the sandwiches?

They use cured meats, and all cured meats have natural msg.

How much for a dozen of egg rolls?

I think each egg roll is $0.50 or 0.60

When is the Rosemead location opening?

Maybe next month, April??

Is there a mistake with the operating hours? It's said open from 6AM - 12 AM. Thanks!

Yeah. Operating hours are 7a-4p Tues-Thurs and 7a-7p Fri-Sun. No Mondays

Finally tried a coffee flight at Yihui Coffee! I chose the Panama coffee flight because I wanted to…read moretry something new! I've already experienced Colombian and Ethiopian coffee, so I was curious to see how Panama coffee would compare. The flight comes with an Americano, a milk beverage, and Ember, a coffee inspired cocktail. You try them in that order, and each one brings something different to the table. The Americano was the strongest, but I wasn't a fan of the coffee bean itself. The milk beverage, on the other hand, was SO good! The milk and coffee balanced each other beautifully, giving it a smooth flavour that was neither too sweet nor too bitter. Last was Ember, made with espresso, ginger, and dark chocolate. I was nervous about this one, but everything blended surprisingly well! I couldn't really taste the espresso, the ginger wasn't overpowering, and the drink was incredibly refreshing. I'm torn between the milk beverage and the cocktail because they're both great for different reasons, depending on your mood. I also tried the egg and tomato croissant, which I'd give a 5/10. The flavours just didn't work together for me. On a previous visit, I tried the pumpkin spice foam hojicha. It was my first time trying hojicha, and honestly, it tasted like green tea with milk that had been steeping a little too long I definitely prefer matcha, but at least now I know! Overall, the Panama flight was a fun way to try something new, and I'd recommend it if you enjoy exploring different coffee experiences.

quite unique. I really liked the cocktail, but it's more of a tea drink than coffee imo…read more Nonetheless still quite complex and yummy. The Americano was also really good, not so sour like most and if all americanos were like that I'd drink Americano much more. Latte was just a latte unfortunately. Kinda drowns out the actual coffee Well balanced drinks with unique flavors. Noice study spot. The donut was slightly of putting because of savory taste of the donut but really tart grapefruit filling

8/22/2026 First time…read morehere. Been wanting to drop by for some time now. ICHIGO MATCHA Really delicious! Just the right amount of sweetness and good strawberry flavor. Matcha flavor comes through, although there is more strawberry than matcha flavor. Still I enjoyed it. It was super creamy too, but I know some people may not like that. Matchas are made with Dona Matcha. MATCHA KINU This was similar to the Ichigo Matcha in texture. Heavy cold foam on top and lightly sweetened. Maybe because it was my second matcha cold foam drink, I was full and tired of drinking it. Matcha was good, but very creamy as expected. Matcha was quite mellow with very sweet matcha flavor, grassiness and very light bitterness. Still very mellow overall. Personally, I prefer the Ichigo Matcha over this one. AMBIANCE + SEATS Most of the seats were white boucle chairs and sofa. Metal tables. Seats were comfy, but dirty. One wooden table with wooden chairs for cleaner seats. There were a good amount of tables and seats. One unisex bathroom available. LOCATION + PARKING On Garfield + Main. It is along the street, so you will need to turn into a parking garage or street park. The best parking spot I found was on First + Main. Right across Days Inn by Wyndham and The Chicken Koop. Free parking. There were EV charging stations too. There is parking right behind Three Fields, but it is so tiny, I wouldn't recommend parking there. Plus, it would be difficult to get in and get out. It was so crammed in there. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was friendly, but the barista seemed a bit impatient as I was deciding on what to get as he tapped his fingers on the table. Then he tells me, "No, take your time." Sure, man. Would I come back? Of course when I'm in the area and when I'm craving for the Ichigo Matcha. It was delish!

Right next door, find Uncle Fung Coffee Stall, his daughter's tribute to her Indonesian roots. Here, relax in the retro-modern space and enjoy coffee and tea with an Indonesian flair. The vibe feels timeless. The paint-speckled brick walls and polished tiled floors starkly contrast the heirloom porcelain and framed Indonesian memorabilia. Small square tables and metal chairs are crammed into the narrow space. Close to opening, seats are plentiful, and serene pop blends with the espresso machine; later in the morning, the air is filled with chatter, and the queue stretches to the door. Of the drinks, our go-to has been The Putu, a pandan-forward latte that isn't too sweet. But don't sleep on the Indonesian pastries. I particularly enjoyed the Dadar Gulung, a vibrant green pandan crepe filled with sweet coconut. The scarlet, tortoise-shaped Angku Kueh is stuffed with an addictive mung bean filling. The Talan Ubi sweet potato-and-coconut treats tasted like fall. The Kueh Lupis, a sticky rice triangle with a side of palm sugar syrup, sports a spot-on Q texture, but is one-dimensional in flavor. Service is friendly and efficient. Pastries cost about ~$3-5, while specialty beverages run in the $7-8 range. The location is stellar (just steps away from the Alhambra Farmers Market), and the coffeehouse fare is uniquely crave-worthy. In all, Uncle Fung is a key member of Alhambra's specialty coffee scene, and it cracks my regular rotation.

The coffee shop is very spacious with lots of seating and there's something interesting to look at every corner. There was a short line when we arrived but it moved pretty quickly. The servers were very friendly, warm and efficient at their job. You see a fun selection of Indonesian / Malaysian desserts as you get to the counter, and their drink options are unique and plentiful. We tried two of their artisanal kopi, Kopi Susu and The Putu and tried the Putu Ayu dessert. The drinks were absolutely incredible! The flavour combination and sweetness level of The Putu was perfect. I love that the bold delicious espresso came through, it wasn't overpowered by the sugar, pandan flavour or coconut cream. The drink wasn't too heavy or creamy, it was just so well balanced it left me wanting more! The Putu Ayu however was just alright. The cake flavours were fine, but it was just a bit dry for my taste. Highly recommend coming by to check this place out! Knowing how good their coffee is, I really want to come back for a pour over. Thanks for a great time!

I live nearby and finally decided to pop in after hearing about this place so many times…read more The decor was minimalistic and tasteful. It's a long, narrow shop so seating may be limited if you have a larger party, but the ambience was very pleasant and nice. Menu is stacked with the names of different types of teas but offers zero description on any of them, so you have no choice but to ask the barista to describe the flavor profile of the teas you're interested in. The barista seemed a bit tired of explaining the tea flavors on the menu, and I honestly don't blame them at all. I'd be annoyed if I had to recite and explain the same large menu over and over again to countless customers throughout the day, when it could've just been written on the menu. If mgmt is reading this - you should fix the menu to make it easier for workers (and customers). This could also help move your line faster, which I've often heard complaints about. I ordered the Koan-Im milk tea, unsweetened, without toppings. I usually like my teas and coffees dark and less sweet, no toppings - especially when I'm trying a new tea shop so I can taste the quality of the tea first, and see whether they get their milk to tea ratios right. The Koan-Im oolong was described to me as a dark roasted oolong so it sounded like it would fit my preference. Unfortunately I barely tasted any tea in it at all, and the drink was mostly just milk. I'm not even sure it was fully milk, since I tasted hints of non-dairy creamer (I should've asked the barista about this before ordering but I didn't want torment her any further after she just rapped an entire menu to me, so I made a hasty choice here). Unfortunately I had to bring the drink home and add more tea to fix the milky flavor. My honest thoughts - I should've ordered a plain tea drink rather than milk tea, so I could at least taste the quality of the tea. I don't think this place makes milk teas that I would like. They're likely one of those tea shops that are popular for their sugary milk tea drinks that lean heavier on the milk and toppings instead. I'm sure their tapioca mochi is lovely, as is their popular "popcorn milk tea" but if you're a person who prefers darker tea drinks with less of the fuss and frills like I do, this place isn't for you.

The pastries/baked goods & cream puffs are definitely their specialty or signature/highlight. Service has always been good. Never an issue. They do run out of stuff in the last hour or two on the weekends. Parking. There's underground parking. Street parking is limited. Both Valley Blvd and Del Mar are busy streets. Seating. Bar inside.

They're tasty and more exquisite than other brand's cream puffs though. It's different taste and texture, so a bit hard to compare. We still like them.

Pistachio Cream Top Latte 4/5 Liked it slightly better than the black sesame cream top. Black Sesame Cream Top Latte 4/5 It's alright/fine. Sounded good. Hot Latte 4/5 Fine. Nothing special or bad.
