For food, price, and connivence, this place is one of my favorite places for a to go lunch. Cash only. A 2 item combo with soup is 8.50. In this economy, this is an incredible deal. I love these to go spots because they have so many options. My go to is the small pork spare ribs and the tofu. They switch out the soups but I normally go for the one with all the greens. I also love upgrading one of my items to the fish for $1 extra. It's worth it. I love this place and would highly recommend it for someone who wants a quick, no frills, good lunch. read more

Banh Mi So 1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

I'm writing this review in the hope that the owner will see it and address what happened. I ordered the braised pork with black pepper over rice and made a very clear request for fatty pork only. Unfortunately, my request was ignored. I understand that mistakes happen, so I returned politely and asked if it could be corrected. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, the female server was rude and dismissive. She complained that I had come back three times, but the only reason I had to return was because my order was never prepared the way I requested. At no point was there a sincere apology or an effort to make things right. As someone who enjoys supporting local restaurants, I believe customer service is just as important as the food. A simple mistake can easily be forgiven, but the way customers are treated leaves a lasting impression. Being blamed for asking for the order I originally requested was both frustrating and disappointing. I hope the owner takes this feedback seriously. Better staff training on customer service, communication, and handling complaints would greatly improve the experience. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be returning. read more

Banh Mi So 1 - Bad - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

You can't beat these prices! I ordered a 2 item combo for $7.50 and 2 eggrolls for $2. Important note it is cash only but that's how they keep prices down. The food isn't out of this world or life changing but for less that $10 it was an incredible value and very tasty! I was surprised at the sizing on the eggrolls, they are larger than the average roll you get and they had a good flavor. For the 2 item I ordered chicken and a tofu, shrimp, pork dish. I loved the tofu, the pork had good flavor but was very dry, the shrimp I would pass on, they had a strange flavor to them and I picked them out after tasting it. The chicken dish was really flavorful, the only disappointment was that despite it coming straight out of the tray it was cold but I would still get it again. Overall I recommend checking this spot out and I look forward to trying some of their other options! read more

2 item rice combo with side soup = 8.50 Apparently the skewers were an up charge of 1.00 more. Staff are very strict on their portion servings for the soup being poured. Literally scooped a meat out of the plastic container and put back in the steam tray. Even did that with the soup too lol. The positive thing I can say is, come here if you want quick and No Frills simple food "Vietnamese way". read more

I like their ban tieu and how affordable the food is here. You can get a two-item combo for around $8, which is a great deal. The quality is decent, not amazing, but good for the price. I usually stop by when I'm in the area and need a quick, budget-friendly lunch. read more

Banh Mi So 1has the best nem nuong on stick. The nem nuong is absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of seasoning and nice chewy bounce. The nem nuong is deep fried and garnish with peanuts and green onions. Its perfect for a snack, and a hit for parties. I also love the banh tieu, huge and fresh, and not too doughy. read more

Ahh, what could I say? I have been coming to Bahn Mi So 1 for many many years now. They have some of the cheapest combos of Vietnamese food ever. I love their Tofu, Chowmein, Rice, Pork, BBQ Pork and Beef too. I usually come out the door buying a whole bunch here. I believe they are under new ownership for the past 4 years now. People are nice here too. Some speak very little English. I think they take cash only too. read more

Was craving for banh mi and happened to drive by here (for countless times but have not checkout yet) around 8:30am. 1st, the store name is Banh Mi #1 and they don't have Banh mi, what??? But they do have plenty of foods for lunch, dinner and snacks plus drinks. 2nd, Parking spaces are plenty since in a big mall strip. 3rd, Runs by bunch of ladies that are very friendly & helpful since I got helped by 4 ladies with smiles. I was disappointed, but got distracted that they have Bò nướng lá lốt & Bánh Tiêu and Cháo Lòng. Yup I got those plus egg rolls and coffee. Got to say , this place reminded me of the 80s & 90s where folks got meals to go for lunch and/or dinner plus snacks and coffee for their VNese craving. Still feel the same since it's not the cleanest but decent place with plenty of dishes choices and varied congees and they're known for Bánh Tiêu (VNese sesame donut). Price: sooo sooo reasonable or cheapest I see so far, 2 big and thick eggrolls for $1.75 (or less), Cà Phê Sữa Đá for $3.75. Food quality wise, not bad it all. Tasty and not bad of the portions but for that prices...Very generous. By the time I got my foods and drove away, I realized that I was there for banh mi and walked away with others - oh well, can't get mad at them since I got more and paid almost the same as a banh mi, 2 egg rolls and coffee. Therefore I forgive them =) and my tummy says "thank you". read more

Was here awhile back, looking for bánh tiêu when I saw they had chả giò too. I asked the Vietnamese clerk who acted as cashier of the place how much are the chả giò. Instead of telling me how much they cost, he treated me as if I'm stupid by pointing at the paper on their glass case with prices everywhere.. Well that was my first and last time I came for anything! read more

I like coming here for lunch! This is my new go to spot to grab something quick and homey and yummy. I got the egg omelet, pork ribs, bamboo so yummy! But I wish I got some fish sauce on the side for dipping. I didn't love their pickled mustard green because it was a bit too sweet for my liking. I also got their soup which was good. They have a huge variety here so I'll definitely be back to try more. read more

Their banh tieu is the best in town! They only take cash so keep that in mind. They make it throughout the day so you know it's fresh.

This place has quickly become my favorite place for quick Vietnamese to-go food! 2 entrees w/ rice for $6.50 and you can add a side of canh (soup) for an additional $1 (they have items such as chicken curry, thit kho, thit nuong, ca kho, etc all the Vietnamese comfort foods you can think of!). They also have banh tieu for $1 - make sure you get some! Honorable Mentions: -Cash only -Plenty of parking read more

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!...I stopped by this restaurant to buy food-to-go today. Food quality is above average and price is fair. I give 1 star rating because the customer service sucks! This service lady is so rude and her manners is like she's giving out charity food and we are not treated like customers. We just got home and still feel bad about the shopping experience at the resraurant to the point that I have to turn on the Yelp! App to rank this restaurant 1 star. read more

My family and I came here 3 days in a row because it's that good. We absolutely love their Banh Tieu, which are only $1 each and are huge (like the size of my face)! They're not that doughy inside - which is just the way my family like them. Their "food to go" is also an amazing deal. You get white rice, 2 entrees, and soup (canh) for $7.50. The food is flavorful and is the best substitute for a home cooked meal. read more

Like their fresh bread. Their number 1 special was ok. It needed more meat and mayo.

Banh tieu is still good, but increase to $1.50 now . Com phần is reasonable price $7 for 2 items, $8 for 3 items with canh . It depends on the person serves you. Some person puts more food than other, that's the only reason I don't like. Big different . If you see the tray almost empty, don't buy, they will give you the rest of it, even water & food left over not enough for reg portion. So wait, until they bring the new tray out. It happened to me twice, I complained. They add more food for me, when the new tray comes out. .Also, some persons are nice, some don't. I think when you are in business, you should be nice, friendly to customers, they buy, bring business to you, they are the one to pay your salary. They are not begging for foods . read more

Excellent quality and very affordable prices! This review is long overdue. My mom introduced me to this place and I've been here about 5 times. All the entrees I've tried are super tasty. It's never too salty nor too bland nor too sweet. Food here always tastes just right, in my opinion. The soups are great too. I can't wait to try everything from this restaurant. Food is better here than at some high end restaurants. Highly recommend. read more

My go to spot for cheap vietnamese food to go. They usually have a decent variety of dishes made by 8am. Thit kho trung, thit nuong, ca kho to are the everyday dishes. However, they cycle through different canh soup, stir fry veggies, braised meat, and fish dishes. Some dishes are sold by container size while the others (like fish) are by pound. I also love the banh tieu (sesame donuts) here! They are thin and so crispy! But they only/mainly speak Vietnamese. So preferably, bring a vietnamese friend. And I believe it's still cash only. read more

Popular spot for Việt take out foods. For one price you will get soup, two entrees and rice to go. They also carry different types of Vietnamese snacks, which allows one to sample exotics foods without flying to Asia. Prices are reasonable and foods taste good. read more

I've been a big fan of this place and purchased the foods here on a weekly basis. I must say the dishes are made very up to par and have an authentic flavor just like in Vietnam. However, I wanted to write this review today because of the service. I ordered some vegetables soup which comes with some ground meat, but to my surprise, THERE IS NO MEAT AT ALL IN MY SOUP. I'm so disappointed and furious. I guess the female worker (very likely some sort of owner) took advantage of me when I was not able to see when she was pouring the soup from the pot with her back covering. She also didn't fill it to the top of the container and only poured in some soup when I asked for more. Is it worth being this cheap?! You've lost a loyal customer Miss. you guys already paid no taxes when it's a cash or zelle service only, but you are still so greedy and cheap. I hope no one will experience this! read more

Banh Mi So 1, meaning #1 French Bread, is supposedly known for their banh tieu, or Vietnamese hollow breads, sprinkled with sesame seeds, which are then deep fried. Banh tieu just happens to be one of my favorite Vietnamese pastries. I came here to see just how good these were... However, the banh tieu was just average. For just 75 cents each though, these pastries are cheap and are double the size of banh tieu at other places. They lacked the chewy consistency I was looking for, and they tasted as though they had been fried in the same oil over and over again. They also have BANH TIEU DUONG, or Hollow Breads Sprinkled with Sugar, which are delicious! I've tried many desserts, but have never heard of this version of banh tieu with sugar. They are only 3 sticks for $1! Hard to believe :) Banh Mi So 1 also sells a variety of fresh food to go items daily that you can select. I haven't had any, but they look pretty good. They also have to-go plates such as spring rolls and a variety of xoi or sweet rice dessert plates. I would like to come back and try the veggie spring rolls and sweet rice dessert plates, and of course, the banh tieu duong! Happy eating and stay safe! read more

Obviously this place isn't some grandeur eatery. It's worn down, smelly, and homeless people frequent outside the store, sometimes screaming and whatnot. As of 10/18/2023, it's $7 for rice + 2 items, $8 to add a small container of soup. I ordered rice with tofu in tomato sauce, braised short ribs, and mustard greens soup (the bitter kind). It tasted good -- homemade and not overseasoned. Restaurants can make their foods very salty but this place tastes like how a Vietnamese grandma would make it It's ideal for a quick, cheap meal. You're paying for the convenience. But I do have to dock points for the quality of the meal and portion size. I was disappointed to open the container to find 4 pieces of short ribs (size of my pinky) and 5 pieces of tofu. Their foods are cheap ingredients that you can find at the supermarket and very easy recipes. I expected more than a little pieces of meat. They gave a lot of rice but then... you're basically filling up yourself with rice instead of actual food. I wouldn't even mind paying a little more, but at $8 I shouldn't be getting THAT little meats/veggies. It's honestly kid-sized if you exclude the rice. I was going to try their sour pickled mustard soup, but the leaves of the mustard plant in the soup were covered in brown marks, eaten by worms. In any home, you'd discard those leaves but they used it in their soup. So don't depend on the quality of the ingredients either. The elderly (70+) lady who served me was nice albeit sounded rushed. Sounds like they want you to get in and get out. read more

I've been here many times to buy Bun Rieu, Bun Bo Hue, Chao, Banh Xeo, Banh Bot Chien, among many other things, and was always happy with my food. This time I noticed a new item, Com Bo Luc Lac (French shaken beef with rice) and the picture was so appetizing I gave it a try. What I got was the saddest looking Bo Luc Lac ever. Wish their beef cubes looked as good as their veggies. Get their other items but stay away from this one that made me question the life's decisions I made up until now. read more

One of the few places you can still get banh tieu. I looooove banh tieu. All the other places only sell banh cam. The banh tieu is $1 each, good price. I also got the bo la lot, and que ga nuong. $4 and $1 I think. Both were good. Will be coming back for more food! If you don't know Vietnamese it's okay, just point to what you want. Location is great! Well, other than the darn construction going on bolsa right there.

This is kind of a classic spot in the Little Saigon area. LOCATION & PARKING // On Bolsa Ave between Magnolia and Brookhurst, this place is crowded from even before you walk in. The parking lot here can be extremely hectic so be super careful as you're driving. The shop itself is quite small but you can't miss the huge sign outside. FOOD // Alright, this is the spot my family goes for their egg roll order. You know the one. 100 egg rolls for a family gathering, holiday party, a casual Tuesday night. All you have to do is call in your order for pick up and state your time. It can be picked up as easy as within 20-30 minutes! The egg rolls here smell amazing and taste delicious. They're extremely crispy and actually can be heated up quite nicely as well because, let's face it, you're going to be eating them for the next few days. SERVICE // For me, I don't expect much out of service from these places. I expect to walk in, shout my order, pay with cash, and leave. However, I do feel like I need to state that this place is NOT COVID compliant. While some of the staff are wearing masks (again, SOME, not all), many of the customers are not and will stand as close to you as much as possible. I understand that this is not the staff's fault, but they are not trying to emphasize that at all. My issue is also that not all the staff members are wearing masks. OVERALL // 3 stars It's good for what you need and the food is good, but the service, specifically, during COVID needs a boost. read more

This store is here in this location for a long time but the quality of the foods is worse and bad taste. Just wondering how they still survive until now. It should be remodeled cause it's too dirty and smelly. The worst part is the worst customer service cause they don't care if either you buy their foods or not.
