    This place is awesome! Was just walking by and saw this place had plant-based options. I'm not sure if the guy working is the owner, but he was very friendly and gave great service. While I was waiting for my banh mi, also offered me water, which was very appreciated. I got the mushroom and tofu banh mi and got it with vegan mayo. The flavor and freshness of the sandwich were great. The size of the sandwich was very large and I felt it was well worth the price, especially for the area. I ate half of mine and had the rest later. Highly recommend!

    The pork belly banh mi super fresh, bread is crunch and soft, an unhealthy amount of pot belly. Add to that some of their house made hot sauce and pair with a blueberry lemonade. Absolutely heaven

    Vegan tofu spring roll
    Kimberley W.

    I got the tofu spring rolls bc my friend ordered food down the street @ B&T's and is vegan. They were great! I've had the banh mi here before and it's good as well, but was just getting a to-go snack. Peanut sauce is up to snuff, the rolls were fresh and light. Quick and friendly service at the window next to the super crowded dining bar!

    Noodle salad with pork. Make sure to add their special hot sauce that made it even more flavorful.

    It's lunch time and I had a taste for a cold noodle salad. I checked yelp and Bun Mi had rave reviews and it was close. I now have a new favorite spot. Not only was the food delicious, the lady at the counter was very nice as well. I ordered the noodle salad with pulled pork. So good, down to the last bite. It actually got better with each bite. The space is very small and intimate but charming. I will be back!

    What an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the kindest owner, attentive, generous, and clearly passionate about the food and experience. It really makes a difference when someone genuinely cares about their craft. The food? Incredible. The Banh Mi was hands down one of the best I've ever had. Overflowing with fresh, vibrant vegetables and perfectly seasoned meat. And the bread? Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Perfect! The space is small, but full of charm. Natural light, fresh air, and thoughtful decor made it feel airy and inviting. Even if there's a wait, trust me it's worth it. This place is as cute as it is delicious. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

    OH MY HEAVENS. This is some good food! Owners Alvin and Pamela are fantastic. I had such a good experience when I came on a Saturday- my server, Anna, was so accommodating and I thank her for taking care of me. I came the following Sunday for a breakfast burrito at the pop up and was blown away. I had the biggest, most flavorful breakfast burrito ever. I also had the ube latte with Vietnamese coffee- delicious!

    Love this place! It's me and my gf favorite Sunday lunch when we head home from Nations church down the street! We love the service, and it's always a quick meal that we know hits the spot. Some days the jalapeños are super spicy, some days it might as well be a bell pepper, but it's a solid option for a quick meal. Ambiance is chill, lots of CSUN students coming in and out since it's next door to campus but I haven't had anything bad yet from the menu. Drinks are solid, food is good, price isn't too crazy. Highly recommend

    Ordering on line is really easy. The staff is always lovely. Food is always great! In fact, I've had some delicious caffeinated drinks from here over the years, too! I really like that they ask about my allergies! (Mom is allergic to peanuts, and I'm allergic to shellfish.) Just one question - Is it possible that this lovely little joint has no restrooms?

    I really wish I could give it 5 stars, but it's exorbitantly priced, even for the neighborhood. I enjoyed the spring rolls, but the tofu seemed like it had been fried and then sat out. Very little mushrooms and an overall small portion. Vegetables in the roll were fresh, and service is good. Cute space, yet they don't have a bathroom, which knocked off another star for me.

    Green mango salad with calamari and shrimp
    Janette H.

    Husband and wife team Alvin and Pamela run this rare gem on Montana street amongst all the Italian restaurants! The restaurant itself is a counter, kitchen and service area. Very clean and unpretentious with a simple black and white menu with a few DELICIOUS choices. I was salivating watching other customers slurping soup, but instead we tried the special, green mango salad which was just heavenly. The mint mango and peanuts set off the shrimp and calamari perfectly. Everything tasted fresh, clean ans summer-y! Also enjoyed shrimp and pork spring rolls with peanut sauce and a pork belly bahn mi which was gi-normous! Alvin was our cheerful friendly server and his wife Pamela is the artisan in the kitchen highly recommend!

    From the initial "welcome" to the ordering and food coming out- exceptional service. Its a cold and wet day in Santa Monica today. The owner wipes the floors from water and debris from the rain to make sure no one slips. Its a small inside seating of 10 seating of a simple menu of Bun (rice noodle bowl) and mi, short for banh mi. They do have a special Pho Ga, which is chicken noodle soup with fat noodles which is good. Broth flavor is warm, savory, comforting. Comes with a side of spicy ginger dipping sauce. Get the mixed meat. Big portions.

Their mozzarella sandwich is a masterpiece with Fresh Ovoline Mozzarella, Avocado, Alfalfa Sprouts, Pickled Red Onion and a delicious Za'atar Spread. What makes it stand out as one of the best sandwiches in LA is the bread. They make their own focaccia several times a day and it is divine. Probably the only other place that can dare to match their creations is La Zucca at the Beverly Hills Cheese Store. Some of our other favorites is the tuna sandwich. Service is always on point and the sandwich travels well for consuming it at home. There isn't a ton of space to sit, but there is some counter style seating. Tip: Their menu is limited by choice. Check their Daily specials (Sandwich of the Day) for inspiration. They have 3 kids sandwiches (all are meat based). Tip: The biggest challenge is parking, sometimes metered parking is available. Otherwise, park for free in neighborhood streets away from Montana. It's a pleasant walk.

The bread was crunchy, arugula fresh, and the pesto mayonnaise was great. However, it almost felt a little....underseasoned? I wish it had a bit more of a punch to it. You do get a good amount of food for what you're paying for, but personally, I'd rather go to All'Antico Vinaio in Venice and get a sandwich that costs a little bit more, but you get more food and a better seasoning. I'd go here again if I was in a pinch, but personally wouldn't try again.

I've been coming here for many…read moreyears, and growing up in the Santa Monica and Venice area, it's one of those places you simply have to know about. If you're visiting the area, I highly recommend making a stop here. My biggest piece of advice is to go early because it gets incredibly busy by lunchtime--and for good reason! Keep in mind they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. While you can order online, I'll always choose to go inside so I can browse everything they have to offer. Their selection of fresh pasta salads is fantastic, and the desserts are always tempting. Whether you're craving lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, a chicken Parmesan sandwich, or one of their many other Italian specialties, you really can't go wrong. Be sure to check out the wine section in the back left of the market. It's extensive and absolutely incredible! This is the kind of place that keeps people coming back year after year, and it's easy to see why. Being Italian American and growing up with an Italian mother who loved feeding everyone, this was one of our favorite places to visit together. Those memories make every trip here even more special. My personal favorite is the Godmother sandwich--hands down one of the best you'll ever have. It's packed with flavor, made with quality ingredients, and it's the sandwich I find myself craving every time I come back. One of the things I love most about this place is the atmosphere. It has an energy that immediately makes you think of family. Everyone is genuinely kind, welcoming, and happy to help, making you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. It has that warm, old-school Italian family vibe that's becoming harder and harder to find, and it's a big part of what makes this place so special.

I ordered The Old Sport, my husband had The Peter, and our three-year-old daughter went with the classic PB&J. We all absolutely LOVED our sandwiches. We also had the chance to meet the two owners (a woman and her partner), who were so friendly and incredibly sweet to our daughter -- such a nice touch that made the visit even more memorable. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the ingredients are refreshingly simple. I really appreciate that they don't use fake processed meats -- they keep it straightforward, yet the sandwiches are still outstanding. The bread deserves a mention too: crisp on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside. I rarely hand out five stars, but they've earned it here. Making sandwiches taste this good with such simple and whole ingredients is no easy feat, yet they pull it off nicely. Highly recommend this spot for both carnivores and vegans alike!

I loved the caramelized onions and mushrooms in Wanda. The bread was top 10 breads we've tried. The lettuce was crispy and the tomatoes had a bite. The $20 sandwiches are a little sticker shocking considering there is no protein. Maybe the cheeses are made from nuts. I would definitely appreciate like a marinated tofu slice or even slab or tempeh with the existing dressings/sauces. The old sport had the chickpeas so we'll get that next time. My partner was obsessed with the walnut date syrup brownie.
