My wife and I are always searching for a great bánh mì, so my wife and I decided to stop by Bánh Mì Sài Gòn 168 and share one sandwich. Sometimes one sandwich is all it takes to get a good impression of a place. For me, the bread is what makes or breaks a bánh mì. I was expecting the traditional Vietnamese baguette with a thin, crispy crust and a light interior. Instead, the bread was soft and chewy. It wasn't bad, but it lacked the crunch and texture that I was looking for. The fillings were fresh, and the $7 price is fair in today's market. However, the sandwich itself didn't have anything that really stood out or made me want another bite. It was satisfying, but not memorable. Parking can be a challenge because the lot is shared with several other businesses in the plaza, especially during busy hours. Another drawback is that there is no public restroom available. I'm glad we gave it a try because I enjoy supporting local businesses and trying new places. Unfortunately, with so many excellent bánh mì shops in Little Saigon, this one didn't separate itself from the competition. Overall, it was an average experience. If you're already in the area, it's worth trying once, but I wouldn't make a special trip just for it.

Great bahn mi sandwich! It's has about 10 seats /barstool type that are kinda ok to sit it, but to hang out so it's almost a to go spot. After 7pm when it's quiet, the staff is helpful and pleasant. Parking was easy. The sandwich was the best I've had in years - I went no mayo on the #12. People have mentioned it's to soft, but what I had was soft enough and wonderful. read more

Was debating weather to go here or not since I had their banh min from their original location several back when they just opened. Te parking is fine with plenty spaces in the morning. The service is good, the lady was n or and friendly and the teenager was fine for the money collection. The place is most for to go but have window high chairs and the place was clean and tidy. Variety type of banh mi, plus drinks and snacks. Easy ordered and simi fast turnaround, I ordered bbq pork banh mi and their pate chau (pork too). The pate chau was good, tasty and 3 for $4, which is okey for the size. The banh mi is well packed and was crunchy outside (if you eat it right away but if you leave it for couple hrs later, then it just soaky from the sauce and the weather. The meats portion is big (not sure if it's bbq since it's white) is bland and tasteless...not appealing at all. The veggies are great and a lot too. It was not my liking therefore I only ate 1/3 of it and I realized that is the reason I didn't come back. read more

Food - mainly banh mi of different kinds. They also sell their bread which is really good, firm and crisp. Definitely great for banh mi sandwiches. They also have other goodies and drinks. Service - really just order at the counter and sit down and get called when the order is ready. More like fast food but that's all you need from places like this. Simple and straightforward. No frills! Ambiance - as mentioned, sit down in one of their chairs, but don't expect this to be an ambiance based dining. It is fast food. Verdict - definitely a good and reasonably priced banh mi places that is my go to for some reasonably priced food and quick service! You should try it! Bottom line, a good sandwich! read more

Banh Mi Saigon 168 - Pork belly Bánh mi - Sandwiches Near Me - Westminster, California

One of the handful of banh mi locations that offer a Buy 2 get 1 free. I think their banh mi is just middle of the road, but at times convenient because they have extended hours and take credit cards. Typically, I get the special or the shredded grilled chicken. They have a lot of drinks and random snacks available too. read more

The only thing good there is the baguette. Service is ok. It's a food Togo place, no table or chair

I don't usually give 1 stars reviews but this place was not good. The sandwich we ordered had barely any meat didn't taste right. The pork roll tasted like deli chicken. Sliced very thin. The bread was not warm or crispy, lacked flavor. Couldn't taste any of traditional condiments spreads such as pate, mayo, etc. First time here. The lady making the sandwich just stared at us. Just a really off experience for being in a busy plaza. Should have read the reviews. read more

This was simply awesome on many levels. The menu options were varied and they had me at Sardines and Head Cheese when I walked in. But my gold standard is the "cold cut" Banh Mi I had from a passing street vendor in Ho Chi Minh City for $0.90 USD that still haunts my foodie wet dreams. The one I got from here was just as good minus the sweltering heat, motorbike exhaust, and flies swarming the room temperature pate'. This is buried in the back of a strip mall spot that has plenty of popular businesses in Westminster. Instead of contending with flies swarming, you will contend with traffic circling for an open parking spot in the private lot. And, although every sandwich here is $6.75 (without exceptional add ons), in this age of inflation, that is a bargain considering a Banh Mi in my hometown of Minneapolis can't be had for less than a sawbuck. For that price, I walked out of this place with a freshly made, more than tasty sandwich that was about the size of my forearm. It was about 25% larger than most I take down in Anytown, USA. Kudos to them for their generous portions since in my book, size matters. I was also impressed with the ultra-clean presentation of the place. It was a spotless setup with professional baking ovens on the premises and a visible assembly area at the front counter so you can watch your food missile being made from oven cooling rack straight into your pie hole. In Vietnam, I got to watch it come from under the woman's bicycle seat and onto a discolored, well-used cutting board that probably had last been cleaned when Uncle Ho was a child. I much prefer the circumstances and appreciate the cleanliness of BMS 168! If I have to be critical of anything, it would be that they did not have all of their ingredients available on my visit (they did not have Sardines available). They had some fantastic options for fillings on the menu but I settled for their classic "Saigon Special" with an add-on egg. What I got was a generous portion of a lot of tasty cold cuts and pate' inside a crunchy but soft baguette with a spread of pate' and margarine-like mayo and lots of pickles, chilies and cilantro. The gratuitous egg was just beyond over easy so it was a bit soft but not runny. The warm, soft texture of the egg really pulled the entire thing together! I really have nothing much in the way of criticism here. I have read some of the reviews with low ratings here and I would have to say that my experience was exactly the opposite of those. To make it even better, I visited about 20 minutes before they closed for the night so if there were going to be shortcuts or issues, i was at risk for experiencing them and I did not. Kudos to them for a great performance just before closing. I look forward to my next opportunity to take down one of their fantastic sandwiches! read more

The grilled pork sandwich was bland but meats was abundant. Veggies were chopped tiny and the cucumber was soggy and limp. Not sure if it was due to the meat or the veggies but the stomache was not happy a couple hours afterwards. Will only visit again for the bread which was soft and crispy. read more

Banh Mi Saigon 168 - Banh mi thit nuong (grilled pork) - Sandwiches Near Me - Westminster, California

Terrible customer service and rotten food. Do not buy from this franchise mostly located in Orange County.

What a terrible first experience! The second I walked in there, some girl came out and literally just stared at me for about 20 seconds without saying a word while I was looking at the menu (mind you this is my first time here) After ordering 2 sandwiches she didn't even tell me the third one was free, I had to read the sign. SMH I changed my mind and walked out. I didn't get her name but it was a Friday afternoon 03/06/26 at 3pm. And oh yeah I was the only one in the store, I can see why now. I never leave any bad reviews anywhere but this one needed to be done. When the hell did customer service become so terrible?? read more

I have tried many Banh me sandwiches in around LA. There are very good ones for sure, but for us we come here. Unless you're somewhere in Vietnam, Little Saigon at Westminster is as close to street vendors in Ho Chi Min. Their Banh me French style baguette are made in house and stuffed full of yummy goodness. read more

This restaurant looks really clean and inviting. Service was great. I've been going to Banh Mi Che Cali for many many years and recently found this place. They have the same buy two get one free Banh Mi deal. The Banh Mi here has a lot more ingredients and tastes more juicy than Banh Mi Che Cali. The sandwiches here are about $1 more per sandwich, but it is worth it. The Banh Mi Che Cali sandwiches recently tastes very dry and lacks ingredients. They should put more mayo and/or pate. The Banh Mi here though has a lot of ingredients and mayo. It tastes really good. My entire family agrees. I will definitely be back. HAPPY BANH MI-ING!! read more

Had the grilled chicken sandwich today and it was surprisingly very tasty. Would have been better if they put more meat in the sandwich. Also got the green and white jello. Big no no. It didn't have enough sugar and was so bland. Maybe they forgot to add sugar? My homemade jello with coconut milk tastes much better than that. ;) Chicken sandwich: 4 of 5. Green coconut jello: 0 of 5. read more

Popped in spontaneously for a banh mi craving. $7 banh mi woohoo. Got the first combo one which came out pretty fast. They also have a variety of desserts on the counter and cut it in half for us. Wrapping/packaging standard. Baguette is less chewy and breadier than other places, the inside filling is quite buttery but flavors are neutral to my tastebuds. I think im used to more textural/flavor differences in the cold cuts, but it was solid. The jalapeños didn't spice my tongue. Overall, budget friendly, fast service. Didn't hit flavor wise like I wanted to, but solid! Good for people who aren't used to strong asian flavors. read more

Awesome banh mi, been going here for years. Love getting my sandwich here and a drink from seven leaves

The food was really good. The bahn mi's were amazing! We ordered grilled chicken, combo and beef. We tried the drinks and desserts as well. The desserts were diabetic friendly which I love. The service was ok. They missed an item of our order. The ambiance was clean. read more

Didn't have a good experience here. The food was below average and not worth the price. Probably won't be coming back

One of my top banh mi places to go, and I am pretty picky. The baguette is crisp and airy! I ordered the wrong banh mi but was still happy with it. The baguettes are long, and they do not skimp on the meat. I could not finish the entire banh mi in one sitting. The only thing to note is that the employees there most likely do not speak English as their first language, even if they look young, so be patient! Speak clearly and keep it simple. We also ordered the pandan and cassava cake and they were decent. read more

We dropped in looking for a banh mi for my plane ride home. I settled on the regular pork banh mi. It want the sliced lemon grass pork that I'm used to. It was more of a braised pork banh mi. It might be a home style that's more authentic. Either way it was very good and hit the spot when I finished it on the airplane. I had ordered a brown sugar boba drink too. Also very good. Looking forward to when I'm in town again. read more

Banh Mi Saigon 168 - Sandwiches Near Me - Westminster, California

Absolutely Horrendous. Their "Banh Bo Nuong" was super dry. It's not preference, it's almost their first time attempt making it, f***ed it up, and sell it anyway. The Banh Trang Tron was old, like stale old. It has an alcohol taste I don't get from anywhere else. Their Banh Mi was average at best, bread was soggy. read more

The banh mi's are good. The baguettes here are my favorite because the bread is still soft after keeping it in the fridge. However the service here sucks. I went around 7 pm so the store was empty; it was me, the younger lady taking my order, and the old aunty making the sandwiches. I order the pork roll with no pate and the older aunty making my sandwich was loudly complaining about how people shouldn't modify their sandwiches and called me a picky eater because I didn't want pate. I don't think she knew I spoke Vietnamese because she was saying some other harsh stuff. Don't work at a sandwich shop if you can't accommodate to preferences. read more

I'm not super sure why the reviews here are so low; the food is incredibly delicious and amazingly priced! A banh mi here is like six dollars and legitimately the size of my arm. On top of that, it's buy two get one free which means you can easily feed a family with leftovers with just twelve dollars. This location doesn't skimp with the fillings either and most impressive of all, the baguettes are sooooo fresh. The bread is textural perfection with a beautiful crunch and is fluffy on the inside. Logistically, this place seems to be takeout only and they have some traditional Viet desserts available, too. Parking in the plaza seems to always be a little hard to find, but still doable. read more

The service is bad. The cashier is acting like he does not belong there. They don't even toast the sandwich. The food is average 2 out 5.

I like the fact that they open late, although choices are limited. Their Banh Mi is "buy two, get one free." They have their lists of their popular banh mi, in case you don't know what to get from their menu. I ordered #1 (deli cold) x 2 and #6 (grilled beef), Banh Bai x 2, and round bread (yes, they sell round bread and baguette). I wanted to get their sticky rice but unfortunately, the person before me bought everything that's left on the counter. LOL.Their Banh Mi taste good, way better than Lee's. They use the round bread instead of baguette. Bread is not stiff, soft in the middle with a hint of crispiness on the outside. Their Banh Bao has okay amount of meat and more of the dough, otherwise, taste good too. They sell other desserts and drinks as well. Come, try, and check out this place if you are in the area. This place is located next to Target between brookhurst and westminster. read more

Having patronized the store at Brookhurst and McFadden, I was so excited to see this place open up in front of PLT (I don't need to drive far to get my bánh mì anymore, and as anyone know, I am veryyyy picky with my bánh mì choices" As you can see, the inside of the store is AMAZING! Everything looks sleek and modern. Beautiful interior design that is carried over from the other store. Looks very clean from the outside. If you guys should get one thing, it's the 1.49 baguette. Now I'm not gonna lie, ive had a lot of baguettes in my life, being that I am a quarter French Vietnamese. HOWEVER, this baguette is always made fresh that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Very scrumptious and can be paired with roast bbq pork for example at home. All in all, I am very happy that there is a bánh mì close to my home now!! (At the time of this review there is only 2 reviews!) read more

The best banh mi place! Not only are the meats and vegetables good but the bread has really good taste and texture and isn't too hard which I feel like a lot of banh mi places overlook. The inside of the bread is soft and the outside had a good crunch texture. It's located inside a pretty busy plaza so parking can be hard to find sometimes but this place is usually not that busy. We always stop by when we're in the area. read more

15. Thit Nuong / Grilled Pork (4/5): Portion is pretty packed with meat, could have more veggies for me. I got extra pate which was delicious, and they do add a lot of mayo. The baguette is very crispy and freshly warm, chewy inside. This was about $8, and for the price I've definitely gotten larger, but it's pretty good quality! Only DOWNSIDE is the customer service. The worker was not friendly at all, and made it an unpleasant experience. Food itself is great for late-night option. read more

I used go to Lee's sandwiches to get my usual iced coffee and baguettes, but stopped going since their coffee started going downhill.

The cashier doesn't speak English. She is unable to get the order right. And this is not the first time this happened. Your sandwiches are so good, but please hire someone can speak English. I stop going here because I can never get what I want read more

Like most banh mi shops, this is largely a take out spot with a small counter space where you can stand and eat. I wish they added a couple of stools, but I don't really mind standing either. I always get the Saigon Special (Thit Nguoi). Their sandwich comes with the normal fixings including pickled daikon radish and carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and mayo. Where they differ from other places is a house special sauce that is added to all their banh mi. I usually ask for it without that since I feel like it makes my banh mi soggy without adding much flavor, even though the staff will always object and tell me that my banh mi will be bland. This is my current go to spot for banh mi because the portions are good. There is a generous amount of meat without overstuffing, and I like how the meat is thinly sliced. My only complaint is that there is some variability in their bread. Sometimes it seems like it's old bread that is baked again, but it's great when it's fresh. read more

Be sure to thoroughly check the items you purchase before leaving the store. They basically sold us old and moldy cake. We purchased "Banh Bo Nuong" (Pandan Honeycomb Cake), got home and notice several mold spores on the cake. Bummer! It's common to trust the store to sell you new and fresh items. Not in this case. read more

This banh mi place is just alright in my opinion, but maybe I just came in on a bad day. My go to is usually a banh mi heo quay whenever I get banh mi. I got their fried pork banh mi to try, but I wasn't too happy with how soggy and oily my sandwich was when I unwrapped it. My mom and I ate it anyways, not thinking much of it. But we both had a pretty bad stomachache an hour after, and that banh mi was all we ate that day! Their Viet coffee was good though, but it wasn't filled all the way up. I would come again if I was in the plaza to try a different banh mi, but I wouldn't recommend the crispy pork one because it was just really unappetizing and not crispy, and just way too oily. read more
