    Beef pho
    Shannon W.

    The broth of my pho soup was quite bland and sweet, which was the first thing I noticed. To me, it tasted like a canned or powdered soup base mixed with a few other ingredients. I was disappointed and wouldn't recommend this dish for $21 (pre tip).

    Ordered the vermicelli pork bowl for takeout and it was super fresh and great size! The fish sauce was kind of diluted so I wish there was either more in amount given or stronger. The restaurant inside looked really cute and staff were friendly. I think they put a great spin on other things on their menu like the French Dip so I'm excited to try the other stuff!

    This eatery landed a spot in my top 10 favorite bites in Long Beach. Sesame Dinette is a hole in the wall Vietnamese spot serving up healthy, yet delicious eats. I visited yesterday for lunch and ordered their Sesame Banh Mi with rotisserie chicken - no jalapeño. This sandwich has been featured in my brain on repeat over the past 24 hours. One meal from Sesame Dinette was not enough. The bread was divine. Different from your traditional banh mi baguette, but thick, fluffy, and baked fresh in house. I also loved their combo of juicy chicken, miniature pickles, cucumber, and carrots. I have a feeling I'll be visiting for round two sometime this week!

    "Oh my god" - the first words that came out of my mouth after taking a bite of the pho french dip. I've had Sesame Dinette saved for a while and finally made the time to come out, and it was worth it. Tried the pho french dip and vermicelli noodle salad bowl, both were amazing and bursting with flavor. Paired along with an iced matcha latte and pandan latte, all that we ordered hit the spot. Service is excellent, and there is adequate seating even for bigger parties. This dinette is located in a small strip mall on the intersection of PCH and Pacific Ave, so parking can be tricky if the lot is full.

    Give this place some love. It is soo good. Had the egg rolls, lemongrass beef French dip, turmeric fish vermicelli bowl and the grilled pork banh mi. Everything was so delicious. Will definitely be back.

    Food Researched this place beforehand and even searched for their vegan options. They had such good reviews and a friend referred this place. However we found it to be lackluster. The vegetarian bahn mi is not on traditional bread, but the cold cuts were so bad. I liked the mushroom pate, but they should have offered an option with the tofu instead. The vermicelli bowl was decent. I've had a better portion elsewhere. Did appreciate the vegan fish sauce and wish the condiments were more accessible instead of you asking. The tofu was cooked in this slices and the sauce on that was really good. Service The staff were really fun and redeemed this place. They were helpful and seemed cool. They let you take your time and didn't let us bus our dishes and said bye. It was a nice touch. Ambiance A few big tables and a four smaller ones. The vibe is very open and airy. Parking is a small lot and street parking is tough because it's on pacific and pch.

    A paid order of extra bread which usually have been one big piece for a sandwich but today just leftover end pieces.

    My family used love this restaurant. Especially we loved their banhmi sandwich even though their bread was not typical baguette. Actually we loved the bread. Sometimes we ordered a extra bread togo and make a sandwich the next day. Today We ordered extra bread for togo as usual and later when I open the box I couldn't help getting surprised. There were just mumber of end pieces that's leftover. So disappointed. I don't understand how they could think it would be fine to serve the end pieces when it's a paid order.

    Pho French Dip
    Melissa C.

    Such a cute, cozy cafe vibe. The workers were really friendly and sweet :) They're known for their pho french dip, so I had to order that! Pho French Dip: 3.75/5. The au jus was very flavorful and not salty! I had to dip the sandwich into the au jus for a few seconds so that it could REALLY soak up the flavors. I wish the au jus was piping hot, but it came barely warm. I expected the bread to have a crunch, but it was a bit soggy. Even though it's a PHO french dip, some crunchy veggies would've elevated the sandwich a lot more (maybe pickled veggies or cucumbers). Overall, it was a pretty good dish, but I wasn't mind blown by it!

    rice dish ($17) + vermicelli noodles ($17) + bánh mì đặc biệt ($13)

    I can't believe it's taken me this long to visit Sesame Dinette. The space gives coffee shop which is so nice actually. You can order a Viet or tea latte with your meal. No need for an additional coffee shop - Sesame Dinette kills two birds with one stone. Drinks are pretty solid even though their one employee was multitasking as cashier, waiter, and barista. Everyone comes for the sandwiches (I think), so we did what the masses told us to do and ordered a sandwich. We opted for the Sesame bánh mì đặc biệt ($13). I liked the bread situation - not your typical baguette, but that was about it. There was maybe one piece of cha and mostly cucumbers and veggies in the sandwich. I'll definitely come back to try their pho French dip next time. The other entrees we ordered were quite good and pretty true to its taste. I ordered a rice plate ($17) with grilled pork + pork patty. It also comes with a side of pickled veggies. The grilled pork was tender and had good flavor. My entree was missing a pork patty, but I'm sure it would have tasted equally as delightful. We also ordered the vermicelli noodles ($17) with grilled pork and pork patty. This was very much like the rice entree except over noodles. Here they include fresh veggies which makes it taste like a cold noodle salad esp with the fish sauce. Delish. Sesame Dinette offers a variety of dishes that don't always appear on the same menu. I'll be back to try one of everything.

    My first time dining at Sesame Dinette was so pleasant! Lots of warm and welcoming vibes. You can immediately tell that this space was thoughtfully designed with plenty of natural sunlight coming in and big tables for communal seating. Customer service was friendly and helpful. I ordered the Vietnamese turmeric fish noodle bowl. The flavors were simple, tangy, and fresh. Lots of great textures from the crunchy veggies, the bouncy noodles, the crispy and tender fish, to the crunchy peanuts. Would definitely get again. I also shared a homemade cookie which was delicious! I can't remember the flavor but it tasted like butterscotch/toffee- absolutely scrumptious. Such a great initial experience here, I will be back! Highly recommend!

    Chicken Pho
    John C.

    New to the area and craving some solid pho, I gave this spot a try based purely on the reviews. It's one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it places in a slightly sketchy plaza -- but hey, some of the best eats come from the most unexpected corners. I ordered my usual: chicken pho. That's my litmus test -- if the broth is bland, I'm out. But this one? Surprisingly flavorful. Clean, comforting, and not overly salty. You can tell they actually care about the broth, which is half the battle in pho world. Didn't dive into the rest of the menu yet, but if it's anything like this bowl, I'll be back soon. Pro tip: don't judge the book by the strip mall.

    The food and the drinks are the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. The plates come out like little works of art. They have this pandan latte that is exceptional. The only things that sucks are their hours and no restroom. The only way we can get in here is on a Saturday in the middle of the day and don't drink any liquids before you go or you will have a really uncomfortable lunch. Can't knock them on the food and drink flavor, creativity and freshness. Those are top notch.

    Banh mi. The best Ive had.
    Btent J.

    Food French dip - 4.8/5. An elevated sandwich with a perfect jus. A bit skimpy with the meat for $17. Excellent bread. Banh mi with grilled pork - 4.8/5 Another stellar sandwich, the best banh mi I've had and I've been to Saigon and Little Saigon. The meat does fall out of the bread but a stellar sandwich with balanced notes, including a spice that cuts through well. Vermicelli bowl with shrimp - Simply excellent again. Flavorful and fresh. 4.6/5 Crab rolls - So fresh. A big seller. 4.5/5 Viet coffee - Solid, much better than most. 4.7/5 Pandan latte - So good you won't even know it's oat milk 4.6/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 My favorite Vietnamese fusion restaurant. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.

    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!

    I'm really happy I got a chance to visit Pickle Banh Mi! This place makes the best banh mi i've had…read morein 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!

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...
