I haven’t live near Little Saigon in over 4 years. I now live in LA County and before that was on the east coast. I am kind of out of the loop.

My favorites:

Ba Le on Bolsa. Everything made in house including the mayo and pate. Add a fried runny egg to your banh mi.

Saigon Bakery/Banh Mi Saigon. The dac biet and egg banh mi’s are a go-to.

Some fun banh mi’s to try:

-THH. Pretty good Vietnamese coffee. Spam and Egg banh mi. (Many places now do Spam and Egg but I think THH was first. The coffee and banh mi combo is classic).

-Carrot and Daikon. Check out the premium banh mi menu. They have crispy pork belly, char siu, tumeric dill fish, lomo saltado, sardines in tomato sauce.

-VO. Chinese sausage and eggs.

-Au Coeur De Paris. Banh Mi Pate Chaud.

To drink:

-Cococane. This is now a classic imo.
-Phin Smith for the cafe sua da.
-Hanoi egg coffee is the latest drink that is in. Try Trung Nguyen Legend.

Chinese sausage and egg banh mi at Vo is good, but their fillet mignon with XO sauce is even better.

These mf’ers put iceberg lettuce in my crispy pork belly banh mi. Hard pass.

My preference is Vo’s for Vo’s/Phin Smith bang bang.

Say what lettuce?

Makes zero sense especially since they can save $ by not putting it in the first place because it’s a banh mi not Jersey Mikes

Maybe they were trolling for the lulz but searching thru Yelp reviews they are serious about putting lettuce

Okay pass on this @Foodiefromla

Went to garlic and chives it was good not great. Will post some pics on Saigon adventures thread.

I think for out of towners or viet food newbs it’s a good experience since everything is pretty accessible and familiar while the dishes are still pretty unique wishes

Ok. So I’ve been to two of these places.

THH has expanded. I remember they had one in Anaheim and I was like whoa.

Saigon Bakery/Banh Mi Saigon - I actually went to it randomly because it has a target next door. It was delicious. This was like two months ago and sadly no photos :sob:

Slowly making my way to the other four and will report back.

My sister prefers THH because it’s located next to the Tastea.

The THH also has aunties who stuff the banh mi full of fillings.

Yes! They do. It’s so convenient especially when you want boba!
