Wide selection of drinks available
Joseph N.

Not bad! I arrived at about 10:30p which is later than most shops are willing to serve. Desperate for a light Monday night dinner, and too lazy to make a salad or cook at home, I ventured into this banh mi shop late at night. As a Vietnamese person, I think we're all banh mi connoisseurs, and know what a good banh mi tastes like and contains. The contents and mayo/sauce to bread ratio was on point. Quality of ingredients was better than expected. Food tastes quite nice. For reference, better than Banh Mi Che Cali but not THH. If that makes sense. The shop offers a buy 2 get 1 free for the round bread option. The total cost for 3 sandwiches was about $14. The vibe of the shop was chill and there were a couple people studying or hanging out. Perhaps bro finally found the courage to say hello haha. A win is a win and I expect my wedding invitation soon. Jokes obviously. Music was soft Viet electronica rather than the usual karaoke or EDM sounds. Also appeared pretty clean to me. Would I return? Yes, late night drive to banh mi with a cozy date/hangout corner (where the magic happens). Finally, there was a wide selection of drinks available but I opted for a cold coke zero at home. Worth the gas in 2026? If you're within 15 minutes, absolutely.

Decent and stable. I think I ate here 3 times total since it opened awhile back. The place big and grand with plenty of ready to eat foods and dozen foods. Came here for bbq pork bánh mì ans I knew it will okey. And it was but abit more of burned pork. I don't know what it is but to foods here are not that bad but at the same time, not that good neither. Favor is there but neither off nor tasteless. The bread is just a okey but crispy but not favor is not there. But with all together, it's okey not bad at all. Prices are decent and portion is nicely bigger. Staff are nice & friendly. The place is and clean with plenty of ready to eat foods to choose from. Parking is easy since it's in a big shopping complex. This wouldn't be my first choice to go for sandwiches but it's right next to the market so convenient to stop by for quick bite and they do open later than other sandwich shops nearby.

This place advertises as being open 24 hours but I think that's incorrect and they're only open until close to midnight which is still nice since a lot of banh mi shops close early over there. I made sure to call before going over on Lunar New Year weekend and they were surprisingly still closing at midnight which was cool because a lot of places are closed or close early for Tet. They have a buy 2 get 1 free promotion that you should take advantage of. It only applies to the "round" baguettes and not the long French ones. I ordered special, head cheese, and grilled beef. All were okay and did the job but it's your best bet for being open at those hours. They have very little filling inside. I would come back again though due to the hours.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience. I purchased 5 boxes of these cakes, spending over $60, because my children love them and I have bought them from this store many times before. When we opened the boxes at home, we were shocked to find that almost every box contained cakes with visible mold. Many of the cakes had green and blue mold spots, and I have attached photos as proof. This is completely unacceptable for a business selling food. I am very concerned about the store's food safety and storage practices. I had no choice but to throw away all 5 boxes because I could not risk my children's health. I am leaving this review to warn other customers to carefully inspect any baked goods or food products before purchasing from this store. I hope the management takes this issue seriously, improves their quality control, and contacts me to resolve this matter. Food safety should never be compromised.

Don't let the sign fool you it's not open 24hrs ...
Mark B.

Like its sister store up the road a bit, the food is good. Staff is helpful. Atmosphere is a bit basic, but sign says it's open 24hours so that fits. Best option might be take out, but if you want banh mi, I'd stop here.

Looks yummy
Ty W.

Open late so it's good that there's a banh mi option at 11pm. Also it's a bonus where they offered the buy 2 , get one free on 5-6 options. Overall, the portion is a bit smaller but the meat quality was good and meat to great ratio was good. A negative is that they're a lot of homeless out in front by the place but they pretty much didn't bother me and kept to themselves.

Special number 14 on left
Deja V.

I tried lots of banh mi place and I have to say this is one of the best . They made their own pate and bread . The bread sandwich is so crispy and big . The special number 14 is best I wouldn't recommend the grill pork . They have varieties of delicious on desserts on display and they also open late which is a

Barely filled
Cindy L.

Taste is ok. It's just a sad sandwich for what else you can get in the area. Very little filling and quite expensive in comparison to others. Go elsewhere for a good, fully packed bánh mì.

(#06) Ga / Grilled Chicken with egg
Archie S.

When it's late and you have a craving for something besides fast food, banh mi or Vietnamese sandwich is the way to go. Luckily I was driving across the area and checked on Yelp to see what's open and this place is open till midnight. It's a little store with a nice variety of sandwiches and other Vietnamese desserts to carry out. I knew what I was going to get even before I entered since I always live and chicken Banh Mi with Egg added to it. The bread was nice and fresh and had a nice crunch to it. Just the way it should be. And I love the pickled veggies and jalapeño as well. Definitely glad I swung by the area to stop for a delicious banh mi.

Most notable thing about this Bahn Mi shop is that the baguettes are light and chewy, not crispy and hard. I like this feature because the sandwiches are easier to eat. I got the dac biet house special and grilled pork large sandwiches. The small sandwiches are buy two and get one free. The sandwiches were good. Servers here don't speak much English.

#1 round bread
Ava L.

my first review of 2025! I was in the area for impromptu grocery shopping trip late tuesday evening after having dinner in the area. This 24 hour banh mi shop was right next to it and certainly caught my group's attention. the interior is small and clean. They had a buy 2 get 1 free deal for the round sandwiches. One wall was a glass display case of drinks, vietnamese desserts/drinks. We were too full from dinner, so we airfried the sandwich the next day and it was nice and crispy with a good amount of pate and butter (unlike mr. Baguette where i paid extra for pate and only got a sliver -_-) they also gave cucumbers in their veggie bag which was a nice surprise! Usually it's just picked carrots and daikon with cilantro and jalapenos. It was also a really large portion of the veggies for us. Lots of parking as well. I will be back the next time I'm craving a banh mi in the area and it's past usual closing hours lol

Keep messing up my order.  Not happy

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

Brodard Chateau lives up to their promise as every dish I tried was just classic Vietnamese or put a good twist on a French dish by adding more Vietnamese elements to it. I loved my garlic noodles with the giant prawns. I loved the shaking beef. I loved the chateaubriand. The main dishes just had everything going for them. The service was great. Our server was on the ball, taking our order, as huge as it was, with aplomb and efficiency. He brought drinks, gave suggestions, and was just super professional. The ambiance gave off special occasion and/or upscale dining. I especially loved our upstairs table in the elevated dining room. It felt like a VIP area. The whole restaurant had a noticeable class to it that's hard to pin down to just a few elements. I just knew this food joint would be awesome to be a regular at. Overall, our dinner was good and made for a good night out. I hope I get a chance to come back soon and get another shot at this menu.

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
