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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Staff were super friendly, patient, and supportive. They said yes to offering us a sample of the pineapple mint drink and it was delicious I had to buy a cup of it and try their Vietnamese coffee; Both drinks were a hit. I bought myself a crispy pork Bánh Mi and ordered the Classic Bánh Mi. The classic tasted exactly like a Bánh Mi and the crispy pork Bánh Mi tasted more like a delicious sandwich. Parking can be a little tight. This place was busy and for good reason. I would definitely come back to this place and try other sandwiches.

Fantastic! Huge banh mi sandwiches with nice crusty bread! We came in on a Sunday and we were luckily enough to beat the rush and to score a table. Clean inside and staff was nice. Had we known now big the sandwiches were, we would have shared but they were both yummy and worth it to try two! Be prepared for crumbs because the bread is perfectly toasted! We had a classic and a grilled chicken, and both were stuffed full of meats and veggies. We also had a Thai coffee that was strong but delicious and a pineapple mint juice which was refreshing and a perfect balance to the Banh Mi.

i was waiting for my windshield replacement across the street and i decided to try this place omg. i loved it!! can't wait to try more things at this place. also a plus that i ran into my fav lb food influencer lol. i was so awkward and asked for a hug. she told me that she loves the crispy pork bahn mi from here so i'll be sure to try that i got the lemongrass beef (no. 2). the beef is in a little rectangular (?) patty form inside the sandwich. it's soft and tender and there were no grisly bits which is great. i don't like it when there is just straight meat chunks and grisly bits. the price is also very reasonable not a very cute place to dine in at and most people seem to do take out but it is delicious. the baguette also has a perfect cronch!! will be back soon. i recommended this place to my fam too and they loved it as well

They have me hooked on their pumpkin lattes in the fall. Service is always friendly and I like how…read morethey bring your drinks to you once they are ready. Small to that make a big difference.

First time trying Stereoscope in Long Beach, and I'd definitely come back!…read more I went with a group, so I was able to try a few different drinks, including their sweetened matcha, Madagascar Vanilla Latte, and Signature Cream Top Latte. The location itself is fairly small, and parking can be a little rough since it's in a popular area with limited metered parking. It's probably not somewhere I'd personally plan to sit and hang out for a while, but they do offer online pickup through DoorDash, and the service was quick (for reference, I went at around 8:45am on a Sunday). The employees were also friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. What really stood out to me was the flavor! The drinks are rich, flavorful, and really well-balanced. It's not bitter, overly sweet, or too plain. Everything we tried tasted consistent and intentional. The prices are a little on the higher side, but based on the quality, I think it's worth it. I'd definitely come back, especially for the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, the matcha, or even to just try something new on the menu!

My husband and I enjoy Cyclops coffee and buy it to go and get the beans for our own at-home…read moreespressos. This review, however, is motivated out of my desire to offer major props to the young man - I think I overheard something like Sip? - working this morning. This guy was on his A game, multitasking and juggling multiple tasks with perceived ease and being pleasant and accommodating all at the same time. Great job! Your effort is noticed and appreciated. Thanks for that. Had it not been for this (and their delicious pastries), I'd give Cyclops a 3 - 4 stars because I have a real bone to pick with paying for a larger Americano and getting the same number of shots regardless. I don't like when businesses do that so that would have otherwise been a major ding for me.

Excellent cold brew! That's my jam…read more Great place to pop up your laptop and work! Plenty of seating and outlets. Staff were friendly and overall my experience was great. I got a croissant and they warmed it up for me. It was flaky and good, but wow was it buttery! My fingers were covered in grease and i got it all over my laptop. Oops. I wish they had a bigger selection of pastries. I got there at around 11 and their case was pretty bare. Usually my go-to stop in Long Beach for coffee because it's super convenient to get to, but parking can be tough!
