This plaza is so busy in the afternoon, so I appreciate that BMC Pho opens early at 7am. I have been coming here for years, and love getting the chicken and curry to-go special, it comes with a french bread and it's a really good value for $7. My usual go to items also include the BBQ Pork Baguette, Egg rolls, Shrimp & Pork spring rolls, Chicken Pho, as well as the buy 1 get one teas. I know times have changed and prices have gone up, but I still think you get a good amount of food for your money. read more

I came here to buy bread, desserts, and egg rolls, but unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I ordered 10 egg rolls, but I was only given 5 while being charged for all 10. The cashier, Long, handled my order, and I didn't realize the mistake until I got home. By then, it was too far for me to return and resolve the issue. Lesson learned: always check your bag before leaving. The bread was not fresh, and neither were the desserts. I was charged $5 for four very small pieces of bánh bò, which did not seem worth the price considering the quality. To make matters worse, no one answered the phone when I tried to call about the missing items. The service was slow overall, and the entire experience was frustrating. Because of this experience, I do not plan to return. read more

Great place for grab and go food. The menu has changed and their Che is more limited with what toppings go in there. The cashier lady was very friendly and spoke English very well, no issues with communicating as opposed to other BMC. The inside is organized so you can see the take out food quickly, it's all near the register where you line up. It's slightly run down and the portion of the food is smaller with a price increase from the olden days but over all the food is still good and fairly cheap for the area. read more

This is located in my childhood hometown! I used to frequent it a lot with my family back when it opened up. 14ish years ago the banh mi's were pretty good, now it's more decent that anything. The bread was really thin and small, enough that I was able to finish a whole thing by myself. Definitely not as quality or well portioned as I remember back then. I do like that they have BOGO deals, like with some flavors of tea drinks and the sandwiches. The service was fine. I like how early they're open so I can just stop by there if I'm in town in the mornings. Ambiance is also just fine. Like another review pointed out, it's more of the fast food equivalent of a Vietnamese restaurant so it's good to manage your expectations. read more

Decent chicken pho for a cheap price. Definitely a more casual spot and the quality doesn't taste as good as the Rosemead location but still gets the job done. read more

One of my frequent spots after buying groceries. The place is a cheap alternative compared to the Haven City Markets. Their chicken pho hits the spot and price point with a nice broth and noodles. They also do BOGO on drinks and sandwiches with are good if you want to grab lunch for the day after. Most of the food is made and delivered to your table pretty quickly. They recently did a remodel and it has made the place feel more new. read more

Been dropping by every Saturday for there buy 2 get 1free French Roll sandwich. Not bad for the price of 7.12. I usually get the number 5 , BBQ Pork. With prices going up this meal is well worth it. read more

I like coming here for a quick bite. Before I always take my parents here to eat and we always leave a tip. But now we haven't gone as much because there's so many Vietnamese restaurants around and they have their favorite place, the one on the corner of this plaza, is near the Dim Sum King/Queen nails hair salon. For me, sometimes I like to come after work to get a combination pho and 2-3 egg rolls. Even though the egg rolls went up to $1.20 each, is still good. I like the shrimp/pork/ear wood mushrooms and carrots filling, is delicious. The combination pho is pretty good too, they have lots of meat. Before I always leave a couple of dollars for tips but lately as I was eating, seeing other customers leave after they finish eating, they don't leave a tip. Should I also not leave a tip ? I mean, you ordered at the counter, they give you a number, you sit down, they bring out your food and that's it. They don't come out to ask you how was your food, pour you water or anything, should we still leave a tip ? Because sometimes, I feel like people walk by can just snatch the tips off the table. And that's not cool. So we should tip at the register, there's a tip jar there. They used to have this curry beef stew that comes with a French bread, that's really good but is always sold out. They have the chicken one but is not as good as the beef. If you haven't tried it yet, you should, is pretty good. Is one of those food that fills you up but not make you full, you know what I'm saying? lol. They have buy 2 sandwich get one free, the French bread ones isn't that good, but the baguette bread is better but more pricey. They have bogo drinks too. They seal the lids with plastic so they can bag it for you to go. Is not going to leak like some of you are concerned about, unless you're driving crazy swooshing all around lol but overall, is a nice and inexpensive place to grab a quick bite. They do party trays too but you need to order a day in advance and tell them the exact time you want to pick it up. The egg rolls are always a hot for parties. Now, go get some egg rolls before is sold out. And don't forget the baguette bread, I think is $1.25 or maybe $2. read more

#1 Ham and Meat Loaf Banh Mi. So good. Went here 1 hour before closing. I love Banh Mi and they have BUY 2 GET 1 FREE. Fresh Banh Mi bread with veggies inside. Only fault was that 1 of their bread only has 1 cilantro stem in it. I haven't tried their other dishes but their Banh Mi is really delicious. We got their BUY 1 GET 1 Boba Milk Tea. Boba is chewy. It's clumped together and hard to suck with the straw. Milk tea is good. Not too sweet. read more

It's very disappointed that the rice rolls party tray we got today is very rough and old. I used to order from them but not anymore after this time. read more

3.5 stars. Had a craving for Banh Mi so came here to satisfy. Overall the sandwich is decent but can't compare to Banh Mi My Tho's.

I love the VEGI sandwich- I can never go wrong with that. I haven't ventured out to anything different, but eventually I will.

Been going here for years. Food is as expected, but it's not the worst. This place opens up earlier than other restaurants. I like to order the fried egg rolls and a vermicelli bowl when I am craving Vietnamese food for breakfast. This place opens up earlier than other Vietnamese restaurants. I also like their deals for banh mi's, and their banh mi's aren't too bad either. read more

I was in the same plaza and happened to notice this place while driving out because their b2g1 free signage. They have a wide selection of items on the menu along with premade foods that are our such as spring rolls, hu tieu, banh cuons, desserts, chicken rice platters, etc. I noticed a few people going in to grab the chicken rice platters as I did as well since I was so astonished how inexpensive it was only $7. You would NEVER be able to find anything for these prices up here from where I'm from. It would have easily been double the cost. They also had b1g1 free milk teas. So for their special free deals for sandwiches and teas, there's separate sections on the menu where you could choose from which makes it easier so you know what you're able to get. The sandwiches were around $6 each and were for the french breads. The sandwiches were decently big in size but they could use a bit more meat in their sandwiches but it really was good you could easily taste the butter and pate. I got all 3 meatloaf, ham, and head cheese. I grabbed their spring rolls which weren't that good. Banh cuon was not that good either. I'm not sure if it was because I ate some of these the next day but I'm very familiar how these things are supposed to taste. The spring rolls and banh cuon lacked a lot of flavor. Have yet to try the quarter chicken leg rice platter but it looks good. read more

This BMC PHO Banh Mi Che Cali is located in the same plaza as HK2 Food District market, specially right by the main entrance of the plaza. I decided to stop by here on a Monday night with my husband. We came by around 7:35 pm. We ended up purchasing the following: Bun Nem Nuong, $7.98 prior to tax- This is one of the typical dishes my husband likes to order at this fast food chain. This vermicelli dish comes with a few pieces of pork and 2 egg rolls. The egg rolls could have been drained a bit more because they were really oily. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the pork was good. Bánh Bò Nuong, $2.50 prior to tax- I ordered 2 of these so that I could share one with some of my coworkers (since some of them have never grew up in Asian families and figured they would like to try something different). I always enjoy this pandan flavored dessert/ bread. My coworkers also enjoyed it and had comment on the texture that it was is quite soft and "squishy" but was surprised that it wasn't as sweet as they had expected. I like my things not to be too sweet but maybe I would call it "Asian sweet" and think its perfect. Hu Tieu, $6.98 prior to tax- We picked up this noodle bowl so my husband could have this for lunch at work the next day. Because the bowl was cold, the soup was already gelatinized but will thin out once heated in the microwave. I didn't have any of this but my husband liked it and it was plenty of food for him. Banh cuon, $6 prior to tax- I really love rice rolls and usually like to pick up banh cuon whenever I see them at this chain. The portion size is definitely plenty for one person, but I ended up eating half of it for lunch and the other half for dinner since I eat light in general. --------------------- (Total= $26.73 after tax) All of the items we ordered were already premade and found in the refrigerator right across from the register, except for the Bánh Bò Nuong. Since it started to get busy after we had ordered, we decided to wait for our item in the very corner at a table. Eventually an employee came out and called out our order number. We waved our hand and said here. She just left our food item by the table up at the front and walked away, although we had seen her give another customer waiting for his to go order. I thought that was kind odd that she just left our order there when someone could have easily taken it. But the service doesn't really surprise me since there are numerous of reviews here on this Yelp page that does mention how rude the employees are. I think I prefer the location in Covina, as the customer service is actually kind of friendly. But they just don't have as many items to choose from (with premade items in particular) as this location. read more

This is a review long awaited. About a month and a half ago. Wife and I wanted to pick up banh mi sandwiches before heading to the beach. Opt for the premium baguettes. The Vietnamese woman making my sandwiches ( in Vietnamese) said wait a few minutes and I'll hot baguettes for you. I got excited and said yes, thank you. She got the bread and pretended that it was hot to the touch. Needless to say, it's cold and not even luke warm. Tasted dry from being at least day old. They are the worst banh mi ever. I don't understand why this bitch needs to do what she did. I fucking hate unethical people. read more

I was craving Banh Mi and I decided to stop by because I hadn't been here in a while. We ordered the following: - shredded chicken - 2 Barbecue Pork - 2 vegan Ham - Sardines - Spring Roll was really delicious and their peanut sauce was better than other places. They have this deal buy 2 get the third sandwich free. -we had also egg rolls and shrimp rolls, we ate them right away For the drink, we had passion fruit. They have many drinks in their menu for buy 1 get 1 free, we chose passion fruit. It was nice except the seed was large. The location: is located in HK Plaza The parking: there are numerous parking spaces available either near the restaurant or close by. The service: was fast. I like Banh Mi, it is really a quick meal with delectable flavors in addition to great price read more

Came back again to order ham and meat loaf banh mi, also the pho gá and a raspberry green tea! I usually get the bbq pork banh mi but wanted to switch it up today! First time trying the "dac biet thil cha," sorry if I don't spell it correctly! It was good but I still like the bbq pork better! The pho gá was good and refreshing, I was in the mood for good tasting pho! It didn't disappoint! Service was good, nice Vietnamese lady wearing a baseball cap with cherries on it! Ambiance not much, floors looked a bit dirt and by the windows it shows. I guess they do it all there cook, clear, serve! Looks like they run a dirt mop on the floor but hey I'm not here to rate the location! It's the food I'm rating! Hey, if the County Health Dept gave them an "A" rating they must be doing something right! read more

I enjoy the affordable delicious Vietnamese food here. Compared to the other restaurants in this food mall , the price is good if you are on a low budget. Instead of going to McDonald's, the food is better here such as pork chop or chicken with rice and vegestable, many kinds of noodle soup, fried rice, delicious sandwiches , boba, desserts and many more. read more

BMC is probably my favorite place to grab quick Vietnamese food. I like the location in Covina better but this one is closest to me. The place itself looks and feels kinda dirty when you walk in (floor and doors). But their food won't disappoint! Their prices are super affordable and the portions are pretty big. Most of the menu items are already prepackaged (except banh mis and noodle soups) but made fresh and they all have a best before time. I love their spring rolls as well! They're only 3 for $6 and they're delishhh. I love that they stick a piece of egg roll skin in it because it adds that crunchy texture to it. Always super satisfying!! read more

We ordered a tray of 25 egg rolls for July 4th from here and they were ready by the time we agreed on. I called and ordered the tray of egg roll the day before. They charge 0.25 cents for a container of fish sauce. It's a small restaurant. The vibe I got was fast food restaurant. I'm not sure if they bring the food to you but you order at the cash register and pay before you get your food. They had a lot of snacks, desserts, and premade food for to go. When I need to order egg rolls again, I will return here. The total was $26 and some change including 0.50 for a tray of 25 egg rolls and 2 containers of fish sauce. read more

I was so disappointing of my las big order for my party. The Fried noodle was extremely disappointing, the noodles were broken into very small pieces, making it difficult to enjoy. The fried rice was overly wet, far from the usual texture. Also the beef stew tasted watered down, almost as if water had been added to boiled beef, resulting in very little flavor. I WILL NOT RECOMMED THIS LOCATION, AND WILL NOT ORDER AGAIN!! read more

** sandwiches review** What happened to the quantity in this place? So price went up but quantity went down? Individual sandwich is 8$ but there's barely any meat placed inside. I usually opt for individual sandwich instead of their buy 2 get 1 because of the better quality. It used to be much cheaper with much more meat. It's no big deal paying more for what you use to get but come on, what's with the portioning? Refer to photos for what it looks like cut down in the middle. I wish I have photos of the sandwiches from before to compare. Unfortunately it's better to get your own individual fillings to make a better sandwich and not a miserable half ass sandwich. read more

I am only going to leave this one star for the service only for the lady who is really rude. Since I walk in there no welcome that was fine for here they never seem to be happy to have customers. But mor than that is her attitude! I came here every week in the early morning 7-8am after dropping my son from West side to get my breakfast and for my bf. Sometimes for my employees. They can check the camera so I spend at least 40$ to get what I need every-week. Today will be my last day here since the service is unacceptable. Start from ordering till getting my order her face is like ... and yes her attitude. I came back to get what I order and didnt get it so i said you forgot some items i order. Then she suddenly said No I am so fast!! Sorry why you do not call me when I walk out from your restaurant so I though I got everything. But it s not because she forgot or i am too fast , it s her attitude. I will never come back here again. read more
