This is one of my top 3 favorite spots in Long Beach, and an easy 5 stars. The flavors are amazing. I've tried several sandwiches, and they're all absolutely delicious. The curry and beef stew were also huge surprises. The curry was delicious, and beats most curries I've had at my favorite Thai places. The beef stew was really special, and to me tasted almost like "concentrated" pho. Like if you took pho, but just made it 10x more dense in flavor. If you like pho, I think you'll absolutely love this. The prices are outstanding as well. I can get several entrees here for $30-40. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Found this place on Yelp and my husband and I really enjoyed the food! When you walk in, it is one of those fast food kinda restaurants with a few tables to sit down and enjoy your meal. I noticed most people got their food to go. My husband and I ordered the fish sauce chicken banh mi and from their new items menu, a crispy pork spring roll. Once we got our order, you can automatically smell the fish sauce chicken banh mi. If you're not fond of the fish sauce scent, it might turn you off, but I like it lol. The banh mi was very flavorful and the fish sauce gave the chicken that umami. The banh mi had a good amount of filling and ratio of meat to veg. From the new item menu, we tried the crispy pork spring roll. I love the texture of the spring roll cos you get that soft texture from the wrapper and veg inside as well as the soft, white meat from the pork. Then you get a crunchy texture (my favorite kind of texture to a meal). You get the crunch from the crispy pork skin and inside there is some sore of fried element, maybe a fried egg roll wrapper? I also ordered a Thai iced tea with boba. The drink was good. Not too sweet and the boba had good texture. It wasn't too chewy or too soft. The prices here are reasonable, so it's definitely work a try. read more

Came here bc I was craving banh mi and I did a quick chat gpt search to the top rated place and this popped up! So glad I came here! Drove from Gardena to pickup two sandwiches and I am satisfied! So the cashier was training I believe bc it said trainee on the receipt and I asked what the two most popular sandwiches were... she said classic and grilled pork .. so upon my research I read about crispy pork.. and she said that was also good... so I ended up getting crispy pork and grilled pork Crispy pork which I hope was crispy (heo quay) it says pork belly on the receipt and not crispy pork belly idk if that's different? But it doesn't matter bc it was SOOO GOOD, Creamy buttery soft and slightly crispy Then the grilled pork (thit nuong) was okay pork belly was way better. It had more of a savory bbq taste to it and that's about it... idk if the cashier was new and stressed bc it was busy but if this was the most popular I would not get it again lol. I will come back just for the crispy pork belly sandwich Bomb.. i just ate one whole sandwich and could probably kill another half... read more

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! read more

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! read more

Pickle Banh Mi - Long Beach - Perfect meal on the go or on a boat :) - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

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. read more

Pickle Banh Mi - Long Beach - Front end - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

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. read more

I feel this is a kept secret. The food is so delicious and the Vietnamese coffee is a definite. The say is so friendly like they are your aunties. The weekends are quite busy too. I ordered the pork belly with noodles.. yumm. So much flavor and good amount of food. I was so surprised. Try them out. You won't get disappointed. They also have good ready to just be picked up read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

Staff were super friendly, patient, and supportive.

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Being someone who is a fan of banh mis, the grilled pork one from Pickles is definitely one of the best I've ever had. This restaurant puts theirs on a hoagie style bun making it more traditional and savory. Service was quick and easy. I also order 3 other banh mis for friends, the nem nuong they has at the front along with the spring rolls; in the future I would just stick to the banh mis. I also tried their nem chua and it was 7/10. Not as spicy as I would like it. read more

Rainy day, craving something fast-casual but actually good. Pickle Banh Mi Co hit the spot. What They're Known For This spot is a local favorite for no-frills, authentic Vietnamese banh mi with bold flavors and generous fillings. They're especially known for their house-pickled veggies (that crunch + tang ), and I've seen their banh mi pop up on social feeds for being a great value without cutting corners. Parking Shared lot right out front with a few other businesses (including a 7-Eleven). Easy parking, but just a heads-up: there are often unhoused folks near the 7-Eleven. Vibe / Interior Small, a little rough around the edges, and not the cleanest--but very much a "get in, get fed, get happy" kind of place. A few tables (4-5) if you want to eat there, otherwise very to-go friendly. Good For Takeout, quick bites, and anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese food at a reasonable price. Expect ~$10-15 per person for a sandwich. Noticed a lot of people ordering Thai tea--on my list for next time. Order Ordered ahead via the Toast app (super easy). - Lemongrass Beef Banh Mi - 10/10 - Pork Belly Banh Mi - 10/10 Flavor-packed, perfectly balanced, and incredibly satisfying. Service Fast, efficient, and kind. The cashier even offered to wipe down our table before we ate--small gesture, big points. read more

Pickle Banh Mi is an incredibly popular spot for a reason! The banh mis and spring rolls are incredibly generous portions. This place gets really busy on the weekends - they have very limited seating for how busy they are, but they have a quick turnover of seats as well. I will admit I gelt a little squished waiting for my order, so if you're getting it to go, it might be best to place your order and then do something else to kill 15-20 minutes and come back for your order. It's a casual restaurant, with a high turnover so you order at the cash register and wait for them to call out your number. Bus your table yourself. The banh mi is huge! It had all the flavors you look for in a typical banh mi. I wish I tasted the pork belly a little more, but overall the sandwich was great! Loved the crispy parts on the pork belly and the bread itself was the perfect texture. 8/10 The pork pastry was SO good! They're only $2.48 per pastry. I highly recommend trying it! The crust is perfectly flaky, and the filling is delicious. 9/10 The spring rolls are huge, great value for the price! I had the shrimp and pork spring roll, it was very solid, there was one perfect bite with my favorite herbs as well, when you get the mint, it really sings. The dipping sauce was good, I added the peanuts. 8/10 There is a parking lot, which was pretty full since this is in a little series of shops, but really parking shouldn't be too much of an issue. I will definitely be back to try the lemon grass beef banh mi and the pork sausage spring rolls! read more

I have to say the sandwiches were just ok -- something I normally wouldn't deduct points for, except the upsell option they offered still netted what felt like a regular bánh mì. I could tell the bread was made in-house, which honestly was one of the most authentic things about the sandwich. BB read more

What a fantastic sandwich! This thing is huge and it's fairly priced. I get why they added "pickle" in their name because they're very generous with it- I love the crunch with every bite. The sauce was surprisingly sweeter than I expected, but, all the flavors had a wonderful balance. I also appreciate that I can bite into the bread without it crumbling all over my shirt. This usually indicates that the bread is good quality and/or it wasn't overly toasted. This rating is solely on the sandwich. I didn't dine-in because it was too hot inside. I'd recommend taking your food to-go for this place. read more

Pickle Banh Mi - Long Beach - 4. Thit Nuong/Grilled Pork - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've eaten here before and was in the area so I called in an order of their thit kho (braised pork). I've gotten this and their banh mi in the past and the thit kho was good so I figured it was a safe option. I think they use fake butter in their banh mi and I'm not a fan of that flavor profile so I didn't care for their banh mi. Ordering over the phone was friendly and quick and pick up was a bit slow but no complaints there. When I got back to the hotel and started eating it, I found a piece of plastic wrap in it so that was very bad. The thit kho was still good and the same flavor as before but no one should have to carefully comb through any food they buy to look for plastic wrap. The parking lot is large and easy. read more

Y'all... The reviews and experience definitely lived up to the hype -- the banh mi was absolutely incredible. Service was exceptional. The banh mi was bursting with flavor. Although I usually try to avoid pork, I couldn't resist trying the crispy pork -- it was delicious. The special banh mi was also outstanding. Prices range from $8 for the sandwiches to $10 for the premium options. Vietnamese coffee was just as good. Mom and I rated it 5/5. Restroom available, and there's plenty of parking. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 My favorite 1) BBQ pork 2) Crispy pork 3) Cold cut combination 4) Meatballs 5) Lemongrass Alright.... After coming here handful of times. I give this place the crown for best Banh mi I ever had but you have to sit down and eat there right away. I was torn between BBQ Pork and crispy pork to give number one spot. At the end I just have to factor in the fact that crispy pork is few dollars more, I just bump it down to 2. It will be great if I can make half and half. That will be perfect solution to taste everything. I wish they open another store in SGV. read more

Any banh mi spot that lets you add fried eggs to any banh mi is at least solid in my books. I was looking for a good banh mi spot that's closer to the South Bay than Westminster. I got the tumeric fish and the grilled pork with 2 fried eggs added in on separate days. Tumeric Fish Banh Mi: This was my first time having a fish banh mi and I loved it. Since it's a premium banh mi, they use pickled slaw instead of the pickled carrots and daikon that I prefer. Grilled Pork w/ 2 fried eggs: I had the fried eggs added in at an extra $2.5. I absolutely loved it. The egg yolk nicely coated the inside. The pork was great. I would have added pate next time. read more

Pickle Banh Mi is the best option for Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches and Vietnamese Spring Rolls in Long Beach. Their spring rolls are packed with your meat of choice, herbs, and has a subtle rolled egg roll wrapper on the inside for crispiness. I bought three of their spring rolls on my most recent visit: grilled pork, pork and shrimp, and crispy pork belly. Also don't sleep on the flavor-packed sauces, which were different for each spring roll! My wife's favorite is the pork and shrimp spring roll as it's a classic Vietnamese spring roll with nice balance. I prefer the grilled pork spring roll as I love the flavor of the pork; however, the small amount of crispy bits on the pork belly spring roll is also very good. Their banh mi sandwiches are also very good. If you like grilled pork and pork belly, these are some of the top sellers. I got these meats in the spring rolls, so I opted for their lomo saltado banh mi. In my previous visit, I went with their chargrilled pork banh mi and I think that's that's what I would recommend. The lomo saltado banh mi has a generous amount of filet mignon beef; however, the fries and raw bell pepper and the absence of the key aji pepper sauce makes the sandwich less successful in filling my cravings. Make no mistake. I finished my sandwich and it was good. Overall, I do think their banh mi sandwiches are great because of their house made, flaky breads, because they're packed with delicious meat, and they're generously loaded with veggies and flavor. Pickle Banh Mi also has rice dishes and other appetizers, but I only have two stomachs (if you factor in my wife); however, it gives me more reason to keep coming back. Overall, this shop is a great addition to Long Beach and it is the best option for Banh Mi in our city. read more

Anytime we're in the area, we try to stop by. We've ventured on from the Bahn Mi sandwiches and love to order the Lomo Saltado Rice dish. Make sure you say rice dish.
