Was on the hunt for banh mi in the area and this place had really good reviews so we came to pick a few up. We got the grilled pork banh mi with extra pate ($9.00 each). There's an anniversary special going on this month so all orders are 20% off - three sandwiches came out to about $22! The sandwiches come in a cardboard box with a hole cut out on the top so that nothing gets soggy. They also give you the pickled carrots and daikon in a separate bag as well as another bag for the cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeños which is amazing for taking it to go. There's also a sauce that came with it but I didn't use it so I can't say anything about it but the sandwich itself was so good. The bread was crispy but soft and the pork was so flavorful. Everything went perfectly together and I would definitely come back again! read more

Omg...I have ordered from here probably 5 times already in the past 2 months from Uber Eats! Just today I went in person because they currently have a 20% anniversary special off your order you cannot get online till the end of the month. Cash option is cheaper by a $1 but credit card and Apple Pay is also accepted. I got the usual crispy pork belly and the special. Crispy pork belly (A++) banh mi is the absolute BEST and I mean THE BEST banh mi in ALL of SGV!! I kid you not!! You will not go back to any banh mi after this mouth-watering experience. The Special is also great (A+) and packed with flavor but their signature is the crispy pork belly banh mi. Bread is also made in-house which makes for a spectacular banh mi! Service was prompt and staff were friendly. It's a family owned business with few tables inside and some dessert drinks on the right. Will definitely grab some of those next time! It's clean and well kept with lots of uber drivers going in and out. You know it's a bumpin' place when uber drivers are parked outside waiting to deliver! Plenty of parking to the left with shaded parking far back. Street parking is also available. I have been telling all my friends and family about this place because it's quite the gem! Hope this place expands to other areas while keeping its quality. What are you waiting for!? Get the banh mi that will change your entire perception of how banh mi should taste like! read more

Banh Mi Hoa Phat - 2 crispy pork belly and 1 special with friends! - Sandwiches Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Packaging is exceptional. Great attention to detail! Trying it out for the first time is wonderful excellent! Trying it out for the second time and third time I i noticed this was a very very fat forward tasting and textured sandwich. Although I've only tried the crispy chicken, chicken, roast pork, and OG dac biet. All were really good... My only qualm would be the OG dac biet had crispy pork in it too. It made it extremely fatty when I'm used to that style being more cold cut and lean although fatty in its own way. Putting the crispy pork in it just threw me off and i realized it just wasn't my style. Then having the crispy pork again made me realize how genuinely fatty it really is and I couldn't wrap my head around eating anymore so I had to dig in and look for the lean parts and extract the fatty parts. Surprisingly it was about 80% fat so for those who love pork belly fat , this is for you! And I know a lot of folks out there love their pork belly extra fatty! Overall I give it 3 and 1/2 Stars mostly for the packaging and attention to detail and for their clean and very quick in and out type of well oiled machine of a business! read more

The beef banh mi at Bahn Mi Hoa Phat was seriously delicious! The sandwich was packed with flavor, with that perfect balance of savory beef, fresh toppings, and a crispy, fresh baguette. Every bite was satisfying, and the portions were generous enough to leave me completely happy. Simple, flavorful, and exactly what I want from a great banh mi. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when the craving hits! read more

Banh mi hoa phat No one's tried these yet. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. Everyone here is always so hardworking and nice and this time they let me try their new special pork jowl and steak Banh mis that haven't come out yet. I also got their not to sweet, spiced, smooth Thai tea that had firm jellies in it and super silky custardy caramelly yummy flan. But anyways, the Banh mis had their iconic light crispity crunchity airy bread, crunchy fresh veggies, soy umami sauce, and creamy rich mayo and pate. The pork one had tender fragrant slices of meat while the beef one was super flavorful and perfectly sweet and savory. Overall this place is still pretty good.

Food - I was very much into the crunchy pork skin with tender, fatty meat. Plus the accoutrements of pickled veggies, fresh cilantro and sauce just added the balance needed for a perfect sandwich. Coffee - decent, not the best. Cleanliness- decent Restroom - clean Service - made to order, but appropriately fast. Ambiance- basic, eat and go.

Got the pork belly sandwich for takeout. It comes in a nice box and everything is packaged well. I enjoyed the sandwich alot. Pork was juicy and tender. the pork skin is very crunchy. Bread had crisp outer layer and fluffy inside. Comes with sauce to pour into sandwich. Wish they gave a little more pickled carrots/diakon or cilantro but it's a personal preference. Would definitely come back. Came in around 2pm and I was the only one. definitely a takeout place. the tables and chairs had crumbs and some grease all over it. read more

This Banh Mi shop was recommended to me for their Crispy Pork Belly (Heo Quay) Banh Mi and it turned out to be a great recommendation! They have plenty of other sandwiches on the menu, but trust me, you must get the Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi. It was a satisfying meal and the pork belly was perfectly crispy and flavorful. The cardboard box packaging is a unique and the sauce and veggies are separately packaged to the side, so the sandwich doesn't get soggy. I didn't try the other sandwiches, but they didn't seem as noteworthy, so you definitely want to get the Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi. Another thing is that it can be quite heavy, so feel free to split it or save the other half for another meal. read more

Banh Mi Hoa Phat - Crispy Pork (Heo Quay) - Sandwiches Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Decided to pay a visit since a friend of mine recommended this place and wow they are quite generous with their meat! Crispy pork belly was delicious, however I do wish some sort of aioli was included in the sandwich... or simply more butter or pate will do? Will have to give them props on including a liquid-y, wet sauce on the side for you to pour into your bread or dip if you wanted extra umami. Their bread is also so fresh, fluffy and crispy, it holds the meat and everything else wonderfully together. I know alot of banh mi places offer to put the veggies on the side but because they pack their baguettes with so much meat, I was kind of having trouble putting the veggie in and my bites were kind of imbalanced with too much veggie and/or meat (I know, first world problems right). read more

I went to this restaurant by luck because I was eating next-door with my friend during lunch, and need to buy a Vietnamese sandwich for my wife for dinner I was going to try another new place Bread Spot but I thought I should give this place to try due to quite a few customers in there. I ordered crispy roast pork sandwich one for my wife, and I usually buy house special cold cut Sandwich and after taking home, heating countertop oven after the bread is so crispy my wife loved the roast pork. She said it was crispy and the cold cuts were so tender with fatty meat it was delicious and in my opinion, I think it was a little better than our go to place banh mi my tho as every Sandwich come with their house sauce for the sandwich, which was truly amazing. Even the box was a surprise how nice it was I will definitely go back more often if I can as I don't live near Monterey park. read more

This gotta be one of the top SGV banh mi spots. You can't beat their crispy pork. They also deliver a healthy serving or smear of pate on all their banh mi's I believe. It's good. The sauce they provide also has great flavor. Their packaging and presentation is higher end too... not that I need that, but worth noting. They are however higher priced than some banh mi places. Solid flavors for sure though! Ambiance is clean simple- I think designed for grab and go or sit real quick and chomp down your banh mi. read more

GET WITH THE PROGRAM. This is a newer banh mi establishment compared to the staples that currently exist around the area, but still offers the same grab and go experience as the rest. Crispy Pork Banh Mi - Mandatory order. The bread is soft but still crunchy, the pork is well balanced, flavorful although you'll be slightly heavy by the end of the meal, it's the right way to feel after this. read more

Great and swift service they have seating but it's nothing special. Lots of people grab and go. Very flavorful and not your average basic bahn mi. The Dac Biet special itself has pork skin so soft and tender. Meats were sooooo packed in, I had to remove a couple to the side to stuff veggies in. They give very little veggies even when you ask. But they pack it to brim with meats and pate so I guess it makes it even lol They have a special crack sauce too that I use to dip the plain parts of the bread. Very savory and good! Def unique and I see why this place has such hype. Mela drinks are also available here love the watermelon one. Def been sleeping in this spot since it's tucked in lol read more

I will always hype this Banh Mi place up. Every single person that I have introduced this place to fell In love with their pork belly sandwich. The pork belly is melt in your mouth with the perfect crisp. The bread is baked fresh in store and housed snuggly in the cardboard box. And the garlic soy sauce on the side works wonders in tying all the flavors together. But the star of the show is the thick spread of pate. Something about it just boosts the umami of the entire sandwich. Don't forget to add the pickles for some acidic balance. I like to phone in my order prior to arriving. The cashier is always super friendly and will offer a cup of water while you wait. There is always ample seating inside as it is mainly a grab and go establishment. They have since opened a second location in San Gabriel, so Check that one out if it's closer to you. And my favorite part is the quote on the sandwich box that perfectly sums up the experience : "It's not just a Banh Mi.... It's a Memory" ....... And I'm still thinking about the sandwich read more

I'm not going to lie. Their sandwiches are pretty good. When you have a product that this good the next thing you look at is service and their service is BAD!!!! How can it take 15 mins for one sandwich. On top of that when someone else orders the same one sandwich and comes in 14 mins after you get their sandwich at the same time. Whoever owns this business needs to look into their business model and adjust... read more

I stopped by Banh Mi Hoa Phat and ordered the grilled chicken bánh mì. It was so good! The bread was fresh and crispy. The grilled chicken was flavorful and paired really well with the fresh vegetables and sauce. Everything tasted fresh, and every bite had a nice balance of flavors and textures. It was filling without being too heavy, and I can see why so many people enjoy coming here. Overall, I had a great experience and really enjoyed my sandwich. I'd definitely come back again to order the grilled chicken bánh mì and try some of the other items on the menu. read more

Such good bahn mi! The crunchy pork , like lechon, is crazy good but the others are very good, too. The bread is perfectly crunchy on the outside and the right amount of softness inside. The cashier greeted us warmly, offered us complimentary iced tea (unsweetened) while we waited. This is not a dine-in sort of place. Very simple, no restrooms, no frills. They have a few benches for customers while they wait and that's it. Whenever in San Gabriel, we try to order sandwiches here. They don't keep late hours so go before 7:00.pm on weekends. I hope this to-go fast food Bahn Mi place continues to do well. read more

Got the classic cold cut, and it was doable. It could've used a bit more butter/pate. I thought the box was a nice touch. They separate the veggies which I'm not used to but can appreciate. It also came with a sauce that I thought was pretty good. The biggest problem I had was that the bread was not warm and toasty. It was cold. I asked them to reheat it and they were very nice about it but it came out cold again the second time. I gave up after that. read more

The crispy pork sandwich was sooo delicious. I highly recommend. The bread was nice and soft on the inside. The chicken banh mi was a bit on the salty side but pretty decent. The special ham and grilled pork ones were also good. I'm not the biggest fan of their flan. The custard seemed overcooked a tad bit. The caramel was too bitter for my liking. The drinks were good too. read more

When this place first opened, their banh mi sandwiches were selling out - you had to try to order early to snag one of the banh mi. I've had the pleasure of being a repeat customer the past few months, and I have to say that Hoa Phat is up there on my list of favorite banh mi spots. I've only tried their special ham (currently $6.75) and crispy pork ($7.75). Both are really tasty, but different. Crispy pork is slightly on the saltier side, but you get the crispiness of the bread and the pork - it really fulfills that crunch need. Pork comes with a variety of cold cuts, but also some slices of the crispy pork. With the pate and mayonnaise and crispy bread - wow, it's like a party in my mouth. It's that good. This place took over the small bakery that used to be located in Alhambra. There's a few tables inside. Small parking lot/street parking. And you can order via phone, which is nice. Drinks are not too pricey, and they're all pretty strong. Definitely one of my favorite banh mi spots in the SGV! read more

This place is DELICIOUS!!! We ordered pork belly and grilled pork banh mi. I had the grilled pork and it was 10/10. It is well seasoned and fresh! Great value on average $9-$10 per banh mi.

This banh mi spot is open daily 7am-4pm It can be easily missed since it's small and slightly hidden Parking can be difficult since they don't have their own parking lot but there is street parking available Menu had a good variety of sandwiches. Pricing was reasonable and most sandwiches were $7-$8. Loved the packaging and how each sandwich is clearly labeled! Inside is tiny so seating is pretty limited Staff was friendly and welcoming. The staff recommended me to get their bestsellers - special ham, grilled pork, and crispy pork. Really enjoyed the complimentary oolong tea as well! Special Pork ($7.75) was amazing! If you like pork belly, this is a must!!! The pork belly was so crispy and delicious! Loved how much meat it came with and how the veggies were packed separately! Also, really enjoyed the dipping sauce but honestly, it tasted tasty even without it! The bread was so fresh and crunchy so this was 9/10 Grilled Pork ($6.75) was pretty good! The pork was very flavorful but slightly too salty for my preference. It was stuffed with plenty of pork, which was marinated and seasoned very well! It came with a dipping sauce which was nice but unnecessary! The bread was very fresh and amazing so this was 8/10 Overall, I really enjoyed the banh mi and my experience here so I would definitely return and recommend! read more

great prices on Bahn Mi sandwiches and quick service. A typical Bahn Mi usually includes a French baguette filled with a mix of meats like pork or chicken, pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and sometimes pâté or mayonnaise. I didn't expect the veggies to be on the side, but it seems to be a common request they accommodate. I went with the combo, which included a variety of meats and toppings, and it was delicious. Everyone kept saying their fried pork skin is a must-try, I definitely have to come back and give that sando a try Missing star- wanted to try a bit more items! Will be back! read more

After hearing about it for so long, I finally came to try their crispy pork belly. Their prices are good and the banh mi was delicious. Really a no frills places and I like how they packaged the sandwich in their paper box and separated the garnishes in a little baggy. They have complimentary tea. Service was quick. The tables could use a little wiping, crumbs everywhere before I sat down. read more

This is my new favorite banh mi spot in LA County. Their signature crispy pork belly bahn mi is so good. The skin is nice and crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. They could give a little more pickled veggies but I appreciate they use pate and a generous portion of pork. The sauce on the side is also really good. It's not easy to find a good crispy pork belly banh mi in LA. Ever since I tried carrot & daikon in OC I've wanted to get it again but I rarely go to OC. They sell the crispy pork by the pound even when they sell out of banh mi (which does happen on weekends because they bake the bread fresh) and I will say it is some of the best crispy pork I've had in LA. At some places the crispy pork can be a little dry in the lean parts but it's great here, even reheated as leftovers. Even with the recent price hike it is worth it. It's also nice that they pack the sauce and veggies separately since I only had time to eat half of it before I had to run to an appointment. read more

An IG reel brought me here, and I got the crispy pork banh mi. The sandwich seems small at first, but it is pretty filling with the meat that they put in. The sandwich was very heavy/greasy from the fatty pork. By the time I got through it, I wasn't a big fan anymore. Def way greasier than the average crispy pork from the Chinese bbq spots. The seating area could have used some TLC, so we cleaned the table ourselves. My friends liked their sandwiches, so I'm open to coming back and trying something else next time. read more

The cha banh mi is so good. They give alot and it also comes with the sauce as well. The other banh mi place where i used to get cha banh mi changed their recipe so im glad i was able to find a new place to get my favorite. Crispy pork banh mi was still amazing. Just enough fat and it wasnt dry. I found it weird that the customers have to ask for tables to be cleaned and instead of a worker cleaning, they give you wipes to clean the table yourself. Also they will be going on vacation for a month between feb and march 2026. read more

I think I've found my new favorite banh mi spot. Absolute five stars from me! I ordered the roast pork sandwich, grilled beef, and grilled pork. While all of them were delicious, I absolutely loved the roasted pork. The veggies and sauce were packed separately which was great cause it kept the roast pork banh mi crunchy. I believe they also add a crunch to the grilled items too which was awesome. The sandwiches were all under $8. In this economy? A steal! Definitely coming back here again! read more

Sadly I have to update my initial 5 star review to a 2 star. I called at 9:55am for a Togo order. I arrived at about 10:10. I paid for my order along with an ice coffee. My number was 44. By 10:15 they were calling order 48. I thought well that's odd. I guess it's too early for Roasted pork. Then when a girl came and ordered 2 roasted pork sandwiches she gets hers right away, I knew something was wrong. It's now 10:25. I told the two persons in the front, my order is 44, is it ready? They go inside and my order was just sitting there. They handed me the bag and my sandwiches were cold, cold crispy pork belly. I asked them to reheat it. Big mistake. It made the roasted pork belly hard and the bread even harder. A ruined $35 breakfast. The total came out to $34.50 3 sandwiches and an ice coffee. He kept the the change, and didn't give it to me when I already left a tip. Sadly. This experience ruined this place for me. I was just standing there. I mean what did they think I was waiting for? Fyi cafe sua da is mid. I won't be back. This was my original review 6 months ago: Omg. The Thit Heo Quay (roasted pork) sandwich was so so good. I would come back to buy more! It was my first time here after searching on Yelp for a roasted pork sandwich...! got one in OC and was totally craving one. Thanks to Yelp we found one and the craving was satisfied! The girl in the front was so sweet and easy to talk to. It's so nice to be able to chit chat with her while I waited. I was also offered complementary tea! It was nice and freshing! I also got a Rau Ma. IYKYK. It was the perfect sweetness. There are a few tables inside and it was not hot. It was cool inside. Overall this is a spot that will be my regular! read more

So this Banh Mi spot came highly recommended by some fellow Elite Yelpers while at an event last week. So of course I had to try it. I ordered the crispy pork Banh Mi sandwich.

Fancy bread, fancy meats. You order at the counter. You can add on drinks and other assortments, but the star is the banh mi. There is seating inside so you wait there or wait outside (we waited outside since the food smell might stick to your clothes). Food comes out within 15 mins I think (there were a lot of orders ahead of us though). Parking: residential parking, lot parking, very easy Food: crispy pork was so good. It comes in a box with a dipping jus and the veggies. I do want to mention that the veggies could have been pickled more. It was too subtle and didn't really add much to the banh mi. Pork was really good though and same with the bread. While we were eating it outside at another location, people were constantly stopping by us and asking where we got it because it looked that good read more

I'd been meaning to try Banh Mi Hoa Phat for a while after seeing it pop up on social media and it definitely lived up to the hype! Even though we didn't eat the sandwiches until about an hour after picking them up, they were still delicious. We ordered the Crispy Pork Belly ($10) and Grilled Pork ($9) banh mi. They came neatly packaged in a box with a little baggie of pickled veggies, cilantro, and jalapeños on the side + a flavorful soy garlic sauce. Both sandwiches were excellent. The grilled pork was different from what I've had before, topped with crispy fried rinds that added great texture. Generous spread of pate in the banh mi. Despite the wait, the pork belly skin still had a nice crisp, and the bread was tasty without being overly hard or the kind that tears up the roof of your mouth. I'll definitely be back for more! read more
