Pork belly Bánh mi
Rob C.

Food - mainly banh mi of different kinds. They also sell their bread which is really good, firm and crisp. Definitely great for banh mi sandwiches. They also have other goodies and drinks. Service - really just order at the counter and sit down and get called when the order is ready. More like fast food but that's all you need from places like this. Simple and straightforward. No frills! Ambiance - as mentioned, sit down in one of their chairs, but don't expect this to be an ambiance based dining. It is fast food. Verdict - definitely a good and reasonably priced banh mi places that is my go to for some reasonably priced food and quick service! You should try it! Bottom line, a good sandwich!

Banh mi thit nuong (grilled pork)
Reiney P.

The grilled pork sandwich was bland but meats was abundant. Veggies were chopped tiny and the cucumber was soggy and limp. Not sure if it was due to the meat or the veggies but the stomache was not happy a couple hours afterwards. Will only visit again for the bread which was soft and crispy.

I have tried many Banh me sandwiches in around LA. There are very good ones for sure, but for us we come here. Unless you're somewhere in Vietnam, Little Saigon at Westminster is as close to street vendors in Ho Chi Min. Their Banh me French style baguette are made in house and stuffed full of yummy goodness.

This was simply awesome on many levels. The menu options were varied and they had me at Sardines and Head Cheese when I walked in. But my gold standard is the "cold cut" Banh Mi I had from a passing street vendor in Ho Chi Minh City for $0.90 USD that still haunts my foodie wet dreams. The one I got from here was just as good minus the sweltering heat, motorbike exhaust, and flies swarming the room temperature pate'. This is buried in the back of a strip mall spot that has plenty of popular businesses in Westminster. Instead of contending with flies swarming, you will contend with traffic circling for an open parking spot in the private lot. And, although every sandwich here is $6.75 (without exceptional add ons), in this age of inflation, that is a bargain considering a Banh Mi in my hometown of Minneapolis can't be had for less than a sawbuck. For that price, I walked out of this place with a freshly made, more than tasty sandwich that was about the size of my forearm. It was about 25% larger than most I take down in Anytown, USA. Kudos to them for their generous portions since in my book, size matters. I was also impressed with the ultra-clean presentation of the place. It was a spotless setup with professional baking ovens on the premises and a visible assembly area at the front counter so you can watch your food missile being made from oven cooling rack straight into your pie hole. In Vietnam, I got to watch it come from under the woman's bicycle seat and onto a discolored, well-used cutting board that probably had last been cleaned when Uncle Ho was a child. I much prefer the circumstances and appreciate the cleanliness of BMS 168! If I have to be critical of anything, it would be that they did not have all of their ingredients available on my visit (they did not have Sardines available). They had some fantastic options for fillings on the menu but I settled for their classic "Saigon Special" with an add-on egg. What I got was a generous portion of a lot of tasty cold cuts and pate' inside a crunchy but soft baguette with a spread of pate' and margarine-like mayo and lots of pickles, chilies and cilantro. The gratuitous egg was just beyond over easy so it was a bit soft but not runny. The warm, soft texture of the egg really pulled the entire thing together! I really have nothing much in the way of criticism here. I have read some of the reviews with low ratings here and I would have to say that my experience was exactly the opposite of those. To make it even better, I visited about 20 minutes before they closed for the night so if there were going to be shortcuts or issues, i was at risk for experiencing them and I did not. Kudos to them for a great performance just before closing. I look forward to my next opportunity to take down one of their fantastic sandwiches!

Great hours, great bread, and nice staff! Spot amongst other businesses, across from the Asian Garden Mall. They have sweets, bahn mi, baguettes, and drinks. Would come bax to try other things.

This restaurant looks really clean and inviting. Service was great. I've been going to Banh Mi Che Cali for many many years and recently found this place. They have the same buy two get one free Banh Mi deal. The Banh Mi here has a lot more ingredients and tastes more juicy than Banh Mi Che Cali. The sandwiches here are about $1 more per sandwich, but it is worth it. The Banh Mi Che Cali sandwiches recently tastes very dry and lacks ingredients. They should put more mayo and/or pate. The Banh Mi here though has a lot of ingredients and mayo. It tastes really good. My entire family agrees. I will definitely be back. HAPPY BANH MI-ING!!

Had the grilled chicken sandwich today and it was surprisingly very tasty. Would have been better if they put more meat in the sandwich. Also got the green and white jello. Big no no. It didn't have enough sugar and was so bland. Maybe they forgot to add sugar? My homemade jello with coconut milk tastes much better than that. ;) Chicken sandwich: 4 of 5. Green coconut jello: 0 of 5.

Popped in spontaneously for a banh mi craving. $7 banh mi woohoo. Got the first combo one which came out pretty fast. They also have a variety of desserts on the counter and cut it in half for us. Wrapping/packaging standard. Baguette is less chewy and breadier than other places, the inside filling is quite buttery but flavors are neutral to my tastebuds. I think im used to more textural/flavor differences in the cold cuts, but it was solid. The jalapeños didn't spice my tongue. Overall, budget friendly, fast service. Didn't hit flavor wise like I wanted to, but solid! Good for people who aren't used to strong asian flavors.

Beef bahn mi
Rhina M.

The food was really good. The bahn mi's were amazing! We ordered grilled chicken, combo and beef. We tried the drinks and desserts as well. The desserts were diabetic friendly which I love. The service was ok. They missed an item of our order. The ambiance was clean.

Pandan cake
Jen N.

One of my top banh mi places to go, and I am pretty picky. The baguette is crisp and airy! I ordered the wrong banh mi but was still happy with it. The baguettes are long, and they do not skimp on the meat. I could not finish the entire banh mi in one sitting. The only thing to note is that the employees there most likely do not speak English as their first language, even if they look young, so be patient! Speak clearly and keep it simple. We also ordered the pandan and cassava cake and they were decent.

John M.

We dropped in looking for a banh mi for my plane ride home. I settled on the regular pork banh mi. It want the sliced lemon grass pork that I'm used to. It was more of a braised pork banh mi. It might be a home style that's more authentic. Either way it was very good and hit the spot when I finished it on the airplane. I had ordered a brown sugar boba drink too. Also very good. Looking forward to when I'm in town again.

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.

Our family orders nem nuong from this location every time we are in the area, to eat and to bring back home.

We prefer this location compare to the other one because it has faster service, quieter romantic atmosphere and polite attentive staff.

Long time customer here!…read more They have a brand new dish: Bún Chả Cá Thì Là. The fish and the fish cakes are super tasty, and the amount of thì là (dill) they use makes it the perfect combo. It really nails that traditional Northern-style flavor profile. Pro tip: make sure to mix in some sa tế, as it completely amplifies the broth and takes it to the next level! Also, I'm so hyped that the Cháo Sườn Quẩy is FINALLY back on the menu! It came out piping hot and is just as comforting as I remember. Honestly, this bowl right here is what keeps me coming back and craving more. Solid spot, totally hits the spot if you want some legit, comforting Northern food.

Food Bánh Mì Pate Que (2) - $5.99 Served as two pieces, this Hải Phòng-style bánh mì came with pate, shredded pork, and a house chili sauce. The bread was nicely toasted and served warm, making it easy to share. Bánh Ướt Đặc Biệt - $14.50 Steamed rice sheets topped with pork patties, fried tofu, and fresh vegetables, served with a house fish sauce. The sauce leaned light and slightly sweet, which may appeal to some but felt a bit mild overall. Bún Chả Hà Nội - $16.50 Rice vermicelli served with grilled pork, pork patties, fresh herbs, and house fish sauce. Similar to the other dish, the sauce was on the lighter side in terms of flavor. The protein portions also felt a bit small for the price. Service My party and I were greeted and seated promptly upon our arrival. A server brought menus and returned shortly after to take our order. However, they did not check-in throughout the dining experience. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the food came out quickly. Payment is processed at the register near the back by the kitchen. Ambiance The restaurant is dimly lit with plenty of seating for dine-in. Location It is located in a strip plaza with a shared parking alongside other businesses.

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!!!!

I was making it a habit in coming here when they started their weekly wednesday promos where $4 for…read more4 wings and then the following 2 weeks it was $8 for 8 wings. When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. I joined the Mama Hieus App which makes ordering ahead easier for pickup. I really like the app bc its simple to plan your dinner ahead. You can pick the day and time you want to pick-up. If I could make one request, is if you can give customers (me) the option to pay like extra $1-$2 for their orders to be ONLY FLAT WINGS on small orders. The chicken is so well crispy and coated and the non flat wings are too meaty but then carry less of your delicious seasoning in my opinion. Does that request exist? I guess I should ask this with your staff in person if I can get a special request to get all flat wings only. Overall, still love your wings and travel once a week when I can from Irvine to get them to share with my Mom for our bonding time.

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.
