    Chewy pandan tapioca rice cakes - amazing!!
    Aurora L.

    Pandan tapioca rice cakes - LOVED IT. You can peel layers off. Perfectly chewy. Here's the interesting part - they're unsweetened, but a sweet syrup is included to dip in. I loved this feature since I can control the level of sweetness! The syrup almost tastes similar to caramel. It was fun peeling thin layers at a time and dipping. Service was great. Jeanette was fun to talk to :) I will def come back many times!

    The banh mi here is pretty good. The bread was soft and the meat and veggies are fresh. I got the special banh mi dac biet. It had the pate, ham and other items typical of that sandwich. It was very good and had good flavor with the pickled vegetables. The meat portion didn't seem as large as I thought as it cost around 7.50 but it didn't seem to be as much as I would expect a that price point. The staff was nice and the wait wasn't too long for the sandwich as this place gets busy. It's a small shop with various other items like dessert and rice dishes as your typical banh mi shop.

    Call in your order, If you can foresee the future call in the morning and tell them what time you want to pick up. I got the #7 bbq meat ball with fried egg on top. It's a solid add on next time try the fried egg. Also the egg rolls it's really meaty. Parking is getting bad because of da vien, you might as well park across the street. The store is tiny probably doesn't have ac, small and difficult to reach the front counter when busy

    Tried this out today without really doing any research beforehand but was curious as there were long lines outside (I was at Da Vien Coffee next door). A bit curious I waited in line and got the charbroiled pork banh mi sandwich. I was really happy with the size and quickness of getting my order and overall was satisfied with everything. Meat was so tender and the bread was really soft and easy to chew! The vegetables were really juicy and tasty. Wish they added more cilantro on my sandwich. Parking is available in the plaza but can get really busy so plan ahead and go early if you can. Also cash only

    I didnt know they sold banh beo. I bought one to try and they were so cute. I loved it. I threw it on a plate to reheat ir fir a little bit and devoured it all. It was a small snack. The banh mi cha is always my go to. But i probably just like the bread,pate and mayo.

    The original location just got more crowded with the addition of Da VIEN next door Remember that you can call ahead to order to minimize waiting This place still makes a solid Vietnamese iced coffee. Love their meatballs You can get ready made rice rolls and noodle plates here There is large menu to order other plates and their classic sandwiches

    roasted pork ($7.5) - was recommended this one since it is their most popular banh mi - i love it so so much! It's got tender juicy pork that was well marinated - baguette was crisp and nicely toasted - the pickled veggies were well prepped too rating: 4.6/5 - this price for what it is is truly unbeatable - i dont know where else you can find banh mi longer than your face for only $7.5 - it tasted great but my favorite would sitll be the one in oc called carrot & daikon, because it's got more sauce to it and bursts of flavor - no inside seats and cash only - very limited parking but people come and go so it wouldn't be too - inside is very small and feels like a random small stall you'd find in asia if you need to grab some food real quick - super fast and friendly service!

    This is my absolute go-to whenever I'm craving banh mi. I've been coming here for years with my family and we always get the grilled beef banh mi. I personally don't like the vegetables but you can ask for it on the side. We like to call and place our order since this place is always busy. It's a small little shop with a few employees so it does that a little time to get your order prepared. Their egg rolls are also super fresh and taste amazing! It has an amazing crunch with every bite. Their grilled beef is also extremely tender and thin so every bite can be enjoyed without needing to break your jaw. Parking can be a little difficult to find if you come here during peak hours. They have a small lot in front of their store and some street parking.

    This place is it for báhn mì! It's a popular mom and pop shop. They are cash only. It's not fancy or expensive. You can get a solid meal for around $10. The service is friendly and welcoming! The ambience is homey and cozy and old school vibes! The smell is nostalgic like someone's home cooking. They sell lottery tickets, traditional Vietnamese sauces and desserts. The pandan desserts are my fave! The food is delish it's fresh ingredients and the bread is so perf Plenty of free parking!

    Ask the Community - Banh Mi My Tho

    Does the banh mi sandwich contain peanuts in the sauce?

    I don't believe that there's any peanuts in the sauce in their sandwich. The meatball or grilled pork most likely contains peanuts. You can have them removed or don't add in.

    Is the meat in the banh mi served heated or is the meat at room temperature?

    heated

    Can someone please verify Friday's operating times? thank you

    7am - 4pm

    Says at the restaurant pick up is online order only. Where do I go to put the order in?

    you should call in to place an order, that's what i did!

    Are the spring rolls gluten free?

    Likely yes because of the ingredients.

    Do they use MSG? My friend and I are very sensitive to it

    Do you eat tomatoes or Parmesan cheese? Those are LOADED with MSG

    Are the banh mi here but 2 get 1 free? I'm getting mixed answers

    No promotions such as buy 2 get 1 free here.

    Is it still cash only even though it's covid?

    Yes

    Can you purchase the bread?

    Yes, they will sell you baguettes if you like.

    How is the Alhambra location observing social distancing if the customer portion is standing room only and quite small?

    They're only allowing one customer to enter at a time. Everyone else has to stay in line outside.

    Do they take card?

    It is cash only in the Alhambra location. The Rosemead location takes credit card.

    Do they use MSG in the sandwiches?

    They use cured meats, and all cured meats have natural msg.

    How much for a dozen of egg rolls?

    I think each egg roll is $0.50 or 0.60

    When is the Rosemead location opening?

    Maybe next month, April??

    Is there a mistake with the operating hours? It's said open from 6AM - 12 AM. Thanks!

    Yeah. Operating hours are 7a-4p Tues-Thurs and 7a-7p Fri-Sun. No Mondays

The only thing I would note is that the lychee flavor is not really there - I'd consider this a regular espresso tonic instead of a lychee-forward one. This didn't really bother me though, because I downed the whole drink My husband got the hojicha latte, which was smooth with a nice roasted flavor that didn't get lost under the milk. I also appreciated that they asked whether he wanted sugar at all rather than assuming a default sweetness level. It was actually his first time having a hojicha latte unsweetened, and he really enjoyed it. The space itself is pretty bare-bones, so I wouldn't necessarily come here for the super aesthetic cafe experience. But it's comfortable and functional - there's a row of bench seating with tables and chairs opposite it. The seats are actually padded, which makes it a nice spot to sit for a chat, or to get some work done. Street parking was plentiful when we went, and I believe there's also a small attached lot. There was also a baker set up on-site when we stopped by. They were selling things like salt bread and sandwiches, so of course we grabbed something to support them. I thought that was such a cute touch and would love to see more local cafes doing little collaborations like this.

The cashier asked what we wanted prior to making recommendations. Milk alternatives like oat, coconut, and almond are an extra $1, but I love that Lactaid 2% is free! Cloudy ($7) - Surprisingly, as someone who is not a big fan of americanos I loved how it balanced with the cream top. Definitely a unique take on an Americano! The red date and pear syrup was light, and not overwhelming. Jasmine Latte ($7.50) - If you like both jasmine milk tea and coffee, this is a fun combination. The coffee is not too strong. Overall, I'd come back if I'm in the area.

The coffee was well-made - it wasn't burnt, overly bitter, or sour, so the extraction seemed solid. However, the flavor felt flat and watered down. It lacked the aroma, body, and rich roasted notes that make a cup memorable. Nothing really stood out, leaving it tasting more diluted than satisfying. Also, I don't think the barista could froth the coffee well. Instead of a nice velvety, dense froth, the froth was a bubbly foam (see photo). Food - 3/5. I visited around 9 a.m., but the pastry selection was surprisingly limited (see photo). The pastries also didn't taste particularly fresh; they had more of the texture and flavor you'd expect from pastries sitting out later in the day rather than freshly baked items you'd hope to find early in the morning. The café has a modern, hip vibe and a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's spacious, with plenty of seating, making it a pleasant place to spend some time. Overall, Smoking Tiger Coffee Lab is a fine neighborhood café if you're looking for a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a coffee. Unfortunately, neither the coffee nor the food left much of an impression. Nothing was particularly bad, but nothing really stood out either. While the ambiance is probably its strongest point, the coffee is just average.

The drink that we got was called the Luxurious George, but if match is not your cup of tea then fear not, they also have a drink called the Furious George which is a coffee version. Drink: The drink itself was fine. We opted for the baseline of 100% sweetness, regular ice, and oat milk (regular 2% milk is preferred!). I was surprised to not have tasted much of the banana flavor as I hoped for. Maybe it was the oat milk overpowering the taste. The matcha itself had a light flavor, despite the color, it was not bold but palatable. Price: The Luxurious George was definitely a luxury because it costed around $8. So the total for two drinks were around $17 plus tax and tips. The price is definitely on a higher side but in exchange for quality matcha? Which one would you like? Service: The staff were really friendly. It was our first time here and we asked for recommendations. They took their time answering all of our questions and finished our orders really fast. Vibes: The overall cafe was really nice. I loved how there was a center for water, extra sweeteners, and other items for you to use. There were plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Their choice of music was also great! Parking: There are plenty of free parking around the plaza. However, there is also a free parking structure behind the plaza for more space.

Right next door, find Uncle Fung Coffee Stall, his daughter's tribute to her Indonesian roots. Here, relax in the retro-modern space and enjoy coffee and tea with an Indonesian flair. The vibe feels timeless. The paint-speckled brick walls and polished tiled floors starkly contrast the heirloom porcelain and framed Indonesian memorabilia. Small square tables and metal chairs are crammed into the narrow space. Close to opening, seats are plentiful, and serene pop blends with the espresso machine; later in the morning, the air is filled with chatter, and the queue stretches to the door. Of the drinks, our go-to has been The Putu, a pandan-forward latte that isn't too sweet. But don't sleep on the Indonesian pastries. I particularly enjoyed the Dadar Gulung, a vibrant green pandan crepe filled with sweet coconut. The scarlet, tortoise-shaped Angku Kueh is stuffed with an addictive mung bean filling. The Talan Ubi sweet potato-and-coconut treats tasted like fall. The Kueh Lupis, a sticky rice triangle with a side of palm sugar syrup, sports a spot-on Q texture, but is one-dimensional in flavor. Service is friendly and efficient. Pastries cost about ~$3-5, while specialty beverages run in the $7-8 range. The location is stellar (just steps away from the Alhambra Farmers Market), and the coffeehouse fare is uniquely crave-worthy.
