Stop four on a SGV Bahn Mi food crawl. Saigon 168 is my pick for a value Bahn Mi shop. I did the buy two get one free deal. Three sandwiches for under $15 is a steal! I saw a review online which said their family members visiting from Vietnam found their sandwiches to be pretty close to what they would get back home. The sandwiches were pretty good, maybe a little less packed (but still decently filled) than the other spots I've visited which is expected when you're opting for a lower cost option. However the quality of the bread was really good and the Saigon Special actually had a decent amount of pate! read more

I was craving a banh mi sandwich and decided to give Banh Mi Saigon 168 a try. Maybe I should have stuck with the traditional baguette but I saw they had a round bread special (buy 2, get 1 free), and I'm always a sucker for a good deal, so I figured why not try something different. I tried the grilled pork, grilled beef, and the special. Overall, the sandwiches were okay. The bread was fine, but I think I personally prefer the texture and style of the baguette. The flavors were decent, and the vegetables were fresh. The main issue for me was the meat quality, especially the grilled pork. It was a bit tough, fatty, and stringy, and it didn't have the texture I was hoping for in a banh mi. Glad I tried it, but it probably won't be my go-to spot. I will likely explore some other banh mi places next time. read more

I was there 2 week ago and the bread were much bigger. They call round bread n not even round. They charge $7.25 for this ?? It's horrific When asked how come so small he said 8 inches by actually 6 inches when u measured at home. read more

Ordered a coffee and the kid at the register pours a half a cup and tells me it's store policy. The cup is literally 100% ice and coffee filled up 60%. It's definitely not like this at any other Vietnamese sandwich shop. Banh mi is also bad and dry! Definitely first and last time at this place. Rip off and bad service read more

Ordered take out. I saw I reviews this place a while ago but it may have been for another Banh mi place as this one is definitely my first time. The place is clean and vibrant and very different. We got the buy 2 get one free. Glad they offer this deal! We asked for chilies on the side so no surprise attack. Service was quick but the pastries seem to have been sitting out for a while because it was quite dry. I didn't really enjoy them... My favorite is still the combination with head cheese. The other two were okay and had good amount of pate which I appreciate with the dryness of the bread and crust. The bread was crunchy but also crumbly, some of the sandwiches had great amount of pickled veggies while the other didn't. Although inconsistent we enjoyed the meal! read more

I have been curious about Banh Mi Saigon 168 located at The Square Shopping Center in Rosemead. I come to the square all the time, but never once checked out this banh mi place until last weekend. My Mom and I walked inside. The first thing that caught my attention was the smell. It was a really not so great pickled smell. I saw one of the employees packaging pickled veggies. They probably should be doing that inside and not near the front counter. Anyway, I got used to the smell and it finally went away. Open space. Plain ambiance. Only a couple tables with a few chairs. Staff was okay. They sell sandwiches, baguettes, drinks, and other snacks. There is a refrigerated section with various drinks and cold items. I had already eaten. I only wanted to get a drink. I saw the basil seed drink. I wanted to try it so I got it. Basil seeds and jello were fine, but the liquid had a funny taste to it. I couldn't pinpoint it. Bottom line, I didn't care for it at all. I gave the rest to my Mom. I won't be getting it again. I'm not sure if I'll be coming back either. Feel free to try them and you be the judge. Thank you! read more

Banh mi was dry and and so was the meat. Service was quick and grab and go spot! Picked it up before heading to the airport

In the area and had a craving for some banh mi. I was pretty happy they had a deal but 2 get 1. Then I saw the egg rolls and the round bread in the warmer. I got the #1, # 2 and #4 Even if I'm by myself I always get the but 2 get 1 deal at banh mi. The baguette Sandwiches were really good but the egg roll and round bread were sitting a bit too long. Egg rolls were a bit soggy and the round bread kinda stale. The coffee was pretty good. Next time I think I'll stick to the sandwich and coffee only. read more

Came here after work around 8 pm, of course it's typical to assume the bread wouldn't be as crispy and fresh. But it's actually not bad. They have a "Buy 2, get 1 free" deal for round breads. We got our banh mi sandwich togo. Price was pretty good if you get the deal. They have the option to keep the veggies separated in case you don't plan on eating anything yet to prevent any soggy bread. When we got home, we toasted our bread and honestly, it tasted pretty good toasted again. After toasting it, it was the perfect crispy layer outside and super soft inside. The meat wasn't old. It was a solid banh mi and I enjoyed it. If more customers came, I think they would be able to cycle out their food faster. I wouldn't mind coming back for a quick take out. read more

I like their meatball sandwich, it comes with 3 meatballs plus the veggies. Today I ordered the meatball sandwich, and they chopped the meatballs into pieces. They thought by chopping up the meatballs and adding extra veggies that I wouldn't notice that they only gave me 2 meatballs, the meat didn't even go across the whole sandwich. Don't cheat your customers, just tell them that you're out of meatball sandwiches. It's called a Meatball Sandwich for a reason! Their sandwiches are good, cheating your customers is bad, which is why I gave them a 2 stars. read more

Incredible fresh sandwiches! Their baguettes are amazing. Can't wait to come back to try other menu items.

I got their promotional, buy two and the 3rd is Free. I got # 1, # 2 and #6. Still a good value, although the price has gone up. Some other places don't offer this. Same great taste. No customer restrooms. Parking: Shared lot can be busy. Rating: 4 Stars read more

This place is getting higher on my banh mi venues. While parking can suck at this shipping center, when you first in, you are hit with the smell of fresh bake bread which is one of the best smells around. Been getting the duc biet banh mi (#14 Saigon special) which has not disappointed. They also sell this HUGE French loaf that's the size of Shaq's shoe for $2.50. Check out my pics! read more

I'm surprised by their rating. Their standard special cold cuts Vietnamese Banh Mi is actually robust and delicious, their baguettes are perfect. Banh Bao is dry and Pate Chaud pretty small, but I'm a classic Banh Mi chick and theirs is reliable and tasty. I'll be back for that read more

Came by Christmas eve @ 8 AM for 9 order of house special to go. You would think they're prepared. Was given yesterdays bread. Bread was not fresh and absolutely chewy. Been coming here for years too.. Disappointed. Wanted to offer these to my coworkers, I am embarrassed. I recommend to check before you leave. I hurried and didn't get a chance to. read more

I usually come here to get bread n egg rolls. The quality of the egg rolls gets bad. I get some egg rolls today but they use the old oils to fry the egg rolls. The egg rolls inside is really dry like an old egg rolls and smell of the old oil very badly. I hv to throw all of them away. I don't come back this place anymore. Waste of my money read more

I ordered #14, baguette dac biet and it is usually my go to. I ordered this for the bread and it is full of meat protein and veggies were on the side. I am happy to say the bread is soft and the size of the sandwich is worth the price. I have to say that the pickled daikon and carrots were very sad as they were lacking in flavor and not enough sour nor sweet added to this banh mi. I also requested extra mayo with $1 up charge, without seeing any extra; also requested extra soy sauce and it is obvious it did not occur as well. **new edit** A second sandwich was ordered, baguette with cha lua. When asked if there is pate spread in it the person said yes, I said no pate, only cha lua. They said ok yes, and managed to still have pate in sandwich. I will also add when I went it was later in the evening, there were no other customers and no line. Orders should have been made accurately. read more

Good spot. Got two chicken banh mi/sandwiches to go, easy to order over the phone and come in and pay. Sandwich baguettes were great and good ratio of veggie & meat. Would come again read more

Tried their round bread banh mi and got the buy 2 get 1 free deal -- I paid about $14 for all three (2 beef, 1 pork). The beef was really good, definitely my favorite! The pork was okay, just a little on the sour side. The bread could've been a bit crispier, but to be fair, I went near the end of the day so it might've been sitting out a bit. Still, can't complain too much for the price. I'd go back again for the deal -- plus, it's nice that they're one of the only banh mi spots open after 5pm! read more

Let's talk about the Banh Mi, specifically the pork belly. The overall composition could use improvement. It is difficult to get a balanced bite with both meat and vegetables, as the ingredients are not evenly distributed. The crispy pork was dry and leaned more toward a BBQ flavor rather than having a crisp texture. The pork belly was not crispy either, and instead came out chewy and lacking in flavor. The sandwich also had an excessive amount of mayonnaise, which overpowered the other elements. The pickled daikon and carrots were underwhelming. They did not have the expected balance of sour and sweet that typically enhances a Banh Mi. Additionally, the pandan cake felt overpriced for the portion size. Thin slices were offered, despite the fact that a whole cake can be found for around $10 near downtown LA from LAM Way Bakery. read more

I love a good banh mi, and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the number 17 grilled beef baguette and it was DELICIOUS. The cucumber was fresh, crispy and had tons of flavor. The beef was warm and cooked well. Very delicious. They asked if I wanted everything on it, but there were no jalapeños. Not sure if this is common but every other banh mi places I've had they put them. We also got eggs rolls and they were also very delicious. The pate chaud was flakey and the meat inside was warm and had a great flavor. Great place! read more

Buy 2 get 1 free deals for great lunch sandwiches. I always get the veggies on the side and the buns are soft. So if you want toasty baguette, you may want to let them know. I don't recommend the custard bun they have inside the glass (too "mushy" and custard tasted bland). Their service is good and they do have variety of cold drinks. read more

Very disappointed with the service here. The staff were extremely rude and unprofessional. Instead of helping customers, they were just standing around talking to each other and laughing while people were waiting. It felt like customers were being ignored the entire time. Definitely not the kind of atmosphere or service you expect when dining out. I won't be coming back. read more

Dude, they made their baguette so narrow now so the sandwiches have less meat. what the hell? Just increase the price.

I got the buy two get one free special as my family and I always do. Sandwiches used to be larger than my hand, now in comparison they make my hands look large. Was really looking forward to the banh mi I got but now I'll have to go find a new banh mi shop. Pretty disappointed in the change. read more

The Banh Mi are excellent. I have not been here since Covid and remote work in 2020. Nothing's changed. The Banh Minis still excellent.

I really like this place. When I'm the area, I come here and order 6 #1 Saigon special (it's a buy two get one deal). The bread is always so freaking fresh, and the deli meats and the vegetables and the pate and the butter? They don't skimp out on it. It's consistent every time I go. Also the coffee?? Okay I have to be so real, maybe it's because I'm older and I'm more used to caffeine, but I feel like a lot of shops don't do Vietnamese coffee like they used to. Like it's not as strong anymore. This place tho? Absolutely does it correctly to the T. It's got that oomph that you look for and need when you order a Vietnamese coffee. So yeah I've become a regular. Within this past week I went three times. Don't know what to eat for lunch or dinner? Well we got banh Mis in the fridge. Service is soooo quick to, I'm order 6 sandwiches at a time - I've never waited for more than 15 minutes - it usually takes longer other places for just one (iykyk) it's def a pick up and go type of place, but recently they added two seats that you could sit at, but no one usually does. Therefore the Ambiance is super casual especially as a walk down the street to the shop kind of way. read more

I was very disappointed. I ordered a vegetarian banh mi in the morning ( @6AM 6/19/2025). When I tried it, the filling inside tasted a bit sour and slimy. I suspected it was made for a while, or the storage conditions weren't good. The tofu was ok, but the shiitake mushroom was bad. I understand that vegetarian filling is not made daily, but I wish they could check before serving it to the customer. It is the second time that has happened to me. The last time was also vegetarian banh mi. read more

I randomly came here as I was waiting for the acupuncture place to open up next door. I was on a time crunch so with 3-4 people ahead of me, I decided to leave but before so, was pretty hungry and did want a banh mi. Place looks pretty neat. Staff was nice as I was ready to place my order. Decided to get their Special with an egg. Wait wasn't too long? There were about 2 ahead of me waiting for their orders as well. Finally got my banh mi and thought wow, nice size banh mi. Plenty of meat, egg and I did ask for carrots, cilantro and pepper inside. As I bit into it, I wasn't too impressed. I've had better banh mi elsewhere. Though the portion was good and price wasn't too bad, the bread was crispy but wasn't feeling the meat. Their pepper is a bit hotter than other places but doable. read more

I got a few sandwiches to try out. I'd come back to Banh Mi Saigon 168 for fresh baked bread and the PORK BELLY sandwich (new item on their menu); very good. What's not so good and killed it for me is their gamey tasting pate (Terrible) on the "Saigon Special", which is supposed to be their best seller! Am not sure if the pate is house-made or from a can but it was so rancid tasting to me that it ruin the banh mi sandwiches I got. Usually my go to Vietnamese sandwich is anything with pate in it, so I was pretty disappointed. This spot is not my top choice for banh mi sandwiches in the area ;however, service was very friendly and the iced coffee was strong. read more

Got a recommendation for this place from a friend and WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. This place has a take out focus so there isn't any seating inside as of 1/8/2022. Parking here is crazy especially on the weekend because the plaza is quite popular. The lot is large but plenty of people are circling around so it's just luck. We ordered three #2 grilled pork on round bread and so we got the BUY 2 GET 1 FREE deal!! For 3 sandwiches and 1 iced coffee it was a total of $17.44 which is unbeatable. The bread is SO FRESH and light. They package the veggies separately so when you take out the bread doesn't get soggy. It comes with just the right amount of carrot/daikon pickles, jalapeños, cilantro, cucumbers. The meat is DELICIOUS and it really comes together for the perfect bahn mi. 100% will be coming back to this place read more

I thought this was related to Saigon Sandwiches but I thought wrong. But they do have a "Buy 2, Get 1" special for the round sandwiches ($6.25 ea). So that's what we got. All sandwiches were packed with veggies. The pickled veg at Saigon is the best I've had but these are pretty good also. #1 Saigon Special was the best I've had so far. There was a good balance of meat to bread and veggie to sauce ratio for a delicious bite. #2 Grilled Pork was pretty good but Saigon was better. #3 Julienne Pork was flavored well, but was overall ok. Egg rolls were crispy, fresh and packed with flavor. Cafe Sua Da (Iced Coffee) was very potent and sweet. Highly recommend the coffee if you want to get your heart racing! Overall, I enjoyed what I got and would come again! read more
