Pork Belly Banh Mi
Rhonda F.

I needed a quick snack and tried this restuarant and was pleased and impressed. I ordered a Pork Belly Banh Mi and the bread was fresh like it just came freshly baked from the oven. The side condiment ingredients were packed into a plastic sealed bag, you got two separate sauces once added to the sandwich gave it a rich flavorable taste. Thr pork was plentiful and resided in the belly of the bun, I just needed to add the fresh condiments. Flavorable and tasty sandwich simply delicous.

I'm really happy I got a chance to visit Pickle Banh Mi! This place makes the best banh mi i've had in a long time and I grew up eating Banh Mi lol. We got their roast pork banh mi which was very delicious. It was savory and tender. Perfectly made. Lots of garnish as well. We also got their banh mi thit nuong which, as a classic banh mi option, would be something I'd definitely get again here as well. To top it off, we got their bo kho which is one of my childhood favorites. We came in with the plan on eating half of all the sandwiches and taking the rest home, but everything was so good that we ate everything at the restaurant lol. Service was very fast. Very professional. Presentation of the food was top tier (something you typically don't see at a banh mi establishment). Ambiance was a little noisy and busy. Lots of customers came in while we dined here. I can see why this place is poppin!

Pickle Banh Mi is hands down the best deal for Vietnamese food in the entire Long Beach area. Their baguettes are always loaded with an incredible quantity of fresh, high-quality ingredients that never skimp on flavor. You genuinely won't find a better balance of top-tier quality and unbeatable prices anywhere else around town. Every bite delivers that perfect crispy crust, savory filling, and crisp pickled vegetables that keep me coming back. It has easily earned a permanent spot as my go-to local spot for an insanely satisfying meal. At time of writing, their Banh Mi Sandwiches start at just $8.

Perfect meal on the go or on a boat :)

Was looking for a quick bite before heading out for an evening out on our boat in the harbor and found this gem. My husband and I were craving for a good banh mi in the area and found this place searching through Yelp. I did make a phone order at 4pm as this establishment closes at 5pm on a Friday. Got there close to 4:30 and our two sandwiches were ready for pick up. Ordered the bbq pork and combination banh mi. The sandwiches alone were a good size. Probably could've shared one sandwich but my husband alone can eat a whole one by himself! Definitely had my share of banh mi's in the past and this place makes the top of the list. Meat was flavorful and of course loved the veggies. The restaurant itself is nestled in a plaza with easy parking. It was next to a 7-11 too which was nice to hop over and grab a drink or more snacks if you wanted to pair it with your sandwich. Inside the store was clean and the staff were friendly. Will definitely be back for more!

This was the Classic combo Banh Mi sandwich.

Awesome place! Fast and friendly service. I order a banh mi to go and was in and out within five minutes. I got the classic and it was under $10.00. Tough to find anything at such a price now. The sandwich was perfect and huge portion. Bread was crunch, great texture throughout, and just a tasty sandwich all around. Clean and well maintained store. My first visit was perfect all around. I will be back.

Pickle Banh Mi has three locations in OC (Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Anaheim) and this one in LA County. It's nice to have spill over restaurants from LA and OC here on the border. The service wasn't the friendliest, but my order was taken immediately. I waited less than ten minutes for two Banh Mis and five egg rolls to go. The bread was a soft & chewy, dense baguette. It contained the pickled veggies and meat perfectly. I also liked how the bags had little holes to let the sandwiches breathe. The pork egg rolls were exceptionally crispy and crunchy the way I prefer. I would return for the Lomo Saltado and more egg rolls. They definitely give the Lee's down the street a run for their money.

I try to always make a stop here when I'm in Long Beach. Loads of places offer banh mi but finding one that's actually good is another thing. I've alway had a good experience here and the sandwich and food has alway been great. It's not a big shop but they do have a little dining area. I feel like it tends to be more of a take out place. Fresh made sandwiches right after you order. Besides sandwiches, they have pre made meals on the counter made throughout the day as well as noddle dishes, rice and meat. I tend to pick up a couple of my usual, the combination banh mi and grilled pork. They do put in a good amount of meat which is alway good. Some place do skimp with that. Also their bao and egg rolls age quite as well. A nice place for Asian food in Long Beach. Service has alway been great. Friendly staff.

I'll admit it. I was petty about this location during soft opening. Service was rough. Orders had issues. Quality wasn't matching what I expected from Pickle Banh Mi, especially since the Garden Grove location already had my trust. I visited a few more times after that and still thought it was meh, so I kept side-eyeing Long Beach like a hater. But annoying as it is to admit, consistency wins. Somewhere along the way, Long Beach figured it out. Fast, consistent and much closer to what I expect from Pickle now. Now it's one of my easy go-to spots when I want a bánh mì fix. Bread matters, and Pickle gets it. Crisp shell. Airy middle. Clean bite. Enough chew to hold everything together without trying to exfoliate my mouth. Lee's is a staple and I respect it, but that bread always fights back. They walked so Pickle could run. Today I got the egg and spam sandwich. Bomb. Bánh mì is already a breakfast staple, but egg and spam makes it stop pretending. Crisp bread, soft scramble, salty spam, Vietnamese mayo, pickled veggies and a splash of Maggi to seal the deal. For a second, being awake felt like a good decision. Most of their bánh mì come with the usual fresh stuff, and it matters: cool cucumber crunch, herby pop from cilantro, jalapeño with a sharp peppery bite and sweet-tangy pickled crunch. No giant chunks falling out and trying to become a side salad. I've also had their combination, grilled pork and roasted pork belly sandwiches plenty of times. The combination hits that classic Viet deli profile: cold cuts, savory pork roll, pâté-style richness, mayo, fresh crunch and crisp bread. Simple formula, the OG. The grilled pork is my personal favorite bánh mì here because it keeps things simple. Light smoke. Savory, slightly sweet pork. Rich mayo. Fresh crunch. No lemongrass yelling over the bite. Not the flashiest sandwich, just the one I keep coming back to. I look at the menu. I act thoughtful. I add grilled pork anyway. The roasted pork belly is the heavier hitter. Silky fat, tender meat and little crackles of skin show up as you chew. Special sauce and mayo make the bite glossy and rich, while the pickled cabbage and carrot slaw cuts through with crunch and brightness. One bite and yeah, it makes sense. Popular for a reason. Spring rolls are solid. Egg rolls are good too, especially fresh out the fryer. I grabbed 20 this morning and asked for them freshly fried. Took about 15 minutes, worth it. They're the simpler pork-and-carrot style, not the pork-and-shrimp version I usually think of for that classic Vietnamese egg roll bite, but fresh out the fryer, they still hit crisp and delicious. Two were sacrificed in the car for quality control. Iced coffee is strong and delicious. Not café vibes coffee. This is "why am I matching my cat's zoomies" coffee. Tiny space. Few tables. Warm baguette smell in the air. Front workers always moving. Orders getting packed. Pans clanking in the back. Aunties barking orders in Vietnamese like every sandwich is already late. Customers tucked inside with their bánh mì. Everyone just locked in with bread. Outside, it's still a busy strip mall, so lock up, roll up and get your Vietnamese food fix. Plaza life, not a Pickle problem. I even came in for extra pickled veggies for a homemade grilled pork vermicelli bowl. That's when a place wins. I went from hating during soft opening to treating the place like a mini Westminster market run. I was petty. They stayed consistent. Annoying. Respect.

Super fast service. I ordered four #1 banh mi and they were really good. My whole family liked them even after a two hour drive home to San Diego they were still delicious. The sandwiches are big, it took me two meals to finish mine. Bread was soft and fresh, lots of meat and veggies. Everything tasted really fresh compared to banh mi in San Diego. Pâté was good but I wish they didn't mix it with the Vietnamese mayo and put it all on one side of the bread. I prefer them separated. We also got sesame balls, they were small but really good and fresh, 2 for $1. Parking wasn't too bad and there were only a couple people inside when we got there. The $8 sandwich is such a good price for how big and good it is. In San Diego it's like $9 and not even as good. Would come back anytime I am in the area!

LOVE the number 22. Tea is great! I liked the service they worked fast and the atmosphere was pretty noisy when i went but ive also gone on slower days and its just as nice. My friend also likes the sandwichs here, worth a stop.

Easy banh mi spot with reasonable prices and loaded sandwiches. We ordered the lemongrass beef sando and the classic sando with pate. They're are Cambodian-run, which is fitting for the Cambodiatown area. We also tried their buns (meat, egg, and sausage inside), which was hearty too. It's an easy takeout spot for a casual meal.

Love the food here, been to the one in Fountain Valley in Orange County and I fell in love. They have a drive thru there too. Here in Long Beach it's a walk in ambiance spot. Anywho, I love the Grilled Pork Bánh Mì (Thịt Nướng) sandwich. It's super popular, savory and slightly sweet marinated pork. I also got the Vermicelli Bowl (Bún) with grilled chicken (very generous w/the chicken) & it comes with a fresh salad , rice, and fish sauce. The service was fast and the food was nothing short of amazing. Will be back to try more food items.

We split the 12. Heo Quay/Pork Belly & 4. Thit Nuong/Grilled Pork

Apparently, I've been sleeping on trying pickle Banh Mi. We tried it this weekend and loved it. We ordered on-line for pick-up, but noticed the line and dining room were very busy. We tried the Pork Belly & Grilled Pork Sandwiches. They were delicious and we will be back to try more things.

This is a super legit pho spot in Long Beach. It's deceptively larger inside than it looks and as…read moreis typical of pho joints, service is very quick so you can get in and out. Order at the table, enjoy your food and pay at the counter. They have plenty of variations of pho, but I like to stick with the classic Pho Tai. Their broth was wonderful with or without the additions on the table. I like that you can choose your size. I went with the medium which was a good size for me, but the small wasn't too much different and I think that would have been fine as well. We added on a Chinese Donut which we dipped in the broth. It was a fun addition and pretty large, so you can split it between 2 people. The Shrimp and Pork Spring Roll didn't impress me so I would skip it next time. I don't know how I am just now finding out about this place but it's going to be my new go-to for pho in the area.

Such a hole in the wall pho spot in Long Beach! It also felt very family owned as it felt like…read morethere was a daughter to mom dynamic when I was there. I might be wrong though lol. It's located on the corner of a building off of Anaheim Street and walking distance to Good Time. I got their pho tai and loved it, they put a lot of meat in there and the broth was really good. Put bean sprouts in and boom it was delicious. I got the medium sized and it was the right amount for me but would get the large one next time. Would recommend this spot if you are in the area. Definitely one of my top spots for pho in Long Beach now, sucks because it closes at 5 so you can only get a lunch or late lunch out of Pho Hong Phat!

Definitely more of a Thai fusion spot instead of an authentic Thai food spot but so good!…read more For appetizers we got the chicken satay and the pork jerky. The chicken satay was to be expected nothing special but it was good, the pork jerky was phenomenal I've never had it before and really enjoyed it! The mains we got pad see ewe beef and the nutty chicken. Both were delicious and had good flavor! I will say that the spice levels here are pretty mild we got medium spicy but it was more like a between mild and medium spicy so if you like spice definitely ask for it! Portion sizes are pretty good here, the two of us had leftovers to take home! Thai tea presentation is super cute and unique! Flavor wise it's nothing special but presentation wise it's super cute w the popsicle and everything! Service was pretty fast we came in on a Saturday and only had to wait maybe 15 min for a table? We ordered everything at once and it all came really fast (ie: before we were even halfway through the appetizers the main entrees showed up). Waiters were overall pretty nice and did check on us a few times. Nice casual ambiance. Music choice is kind of interesting they were playing kpop when we were there. Overall I could see this being a great place to meetup w friends, maybe a cute place for a date given how cute the Thai tea presentation is. There is a small parking lot which is surprising for this area of Long Beach but take note that on the weekend it might be full! Otherwise there's street parking in the surrounding area.

If you come for one dish, order the eggplant tofu ($16.95). It comes with fried tofu, eggplant,…read morebasil leaves, bell pepper and garlic. The dish itself isn't very saucy, but it's so good. The eggplant is cubed and stir fried which gives it a dense, thick texture. The tofu is perfectly crispy. Whatever sauce used is slightly sweet with tons of umami flavor. It's exceptionally good and it's the kind of dish that doesn't need any sort of meat. Ten. I also very much loved the spicy pad Thai ($16.95). We added the colossal prawns for like $7.00. The pad Thai was phenomenal - al dente noodles with just the right amount of spice, but the prawns were just a great additional to an already good dish. Come to Kin for a solid Thai food experience.
