    What a cute Vietnamese restaurant!!! I love the beautiful outdoor seating amongst the greenery and lanterns with the Vietnamese clubbing music. Takes me back to Vietnam for a little bit. They have a simple menu but make everything well. I enjoyed the chicken wings with steamed rice. The wings were so good. A bit crunchy, very juicy, the sauce was sweet and savory. There was a ton of garlic and jalepeno. It was so delicious. And the steamed rice paired beautifully. The texture of the rice was so good. My partner had the chicken pho and shaking beef with garlic noodles. He enjoyed them both. He said the chicken was very tender and juicy. The noodles with the beef was his favorite. We both got pandan mung bean drink and fried bananas of course. The fried banana takes time to make, but worth the wait. It's so crunchy! Can't wait to come back to try the rice cakes next time.

    Came back for another round. They added more tables for seating. This time we ate here since it was perfect weather outside. We got our usual fried bananas and tried the chicken wings, garlic noodles, and shaken beef. I also ordered some Banh bot loc. This place is such a hidden gem. Family is very sweet and we enjoyed everything. I was only able to take a photo of the chicken wings because we devoured everything else!

    Wow!! What a hidden gem. We were looking for places to pick up some dessert after dinner. I check on yelp that lead me to K. Fried Bananas. It's crazy because we drive pass it so many time and didn't realize there actually shop there. It's literally at a house. They have an outdoor kitchen set up in front/ drive with a couple of tables. They specialize on fried banana of course and I'm down for some good fried bananas. Besides their fried banana they have a few Vietnamese dishes and drinks as well. They also have different specials. Check the specials board. We have tried the following: Fried Bananas- 5/5 Stars- This was absolutely fantastic. The batter was crispy and light. The banana was sweet as well. Garlic Shrimp with Noodles- Who doesn't love Vietnamese home cooking. This was so flavorful and the shrimp was fresh. I recommend getting it with rice so you can soak up all the garlic sauce. It's $2 more for the noodles. Everything is made fresh to order even the fried bananas so please be patient. Service was so sweet and friendly. They only accept cash, Zelle and Venmo. If you're looking for some delicious fried bananas I highly recommend stopping by here. They're open from 6pm-10pm. Tue-Sat Until our next visit.

    Are you a local in Reseda? Please, try this place! They put in front of the house a cute patio to sell fried bananas, typical in Vietnam. The is a virtual DJ on tv playing Vietnamese music, the owners are really nice people. And the price is great, affordable. The banana with Nutella is delicious. We will back to try more.

    This place is amazing! From the delicious food, cozy vibes, and great customer service, I highly recommend this place. Such a gem in the valley! I tried the butter garlic shrimp and hainam chicken (only available on saturdays) and they are just exploding with flavors. The fried bananas are crispy and crunchy, yet its non greasy and light, perfect snack! For drinks, green thai tea is our go to! Its floral and creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. If you like calamansi, the coco calamansi refresher is good too! They use their calamansi in their garden and the drink has strips of coconuts and jackfruit. Will definitely be back again to try their other menu items! They take venmo/zelle for payment.

    This place is truly a gem - a peek into what street food life is like in vietnam! The food stall, lanterns, the plastic stools, small tables (and large).. so charming! The owner has a green thumb too - sitting amongst all the greenery and fresh fruits was certainly the change of scenery we needed living in LA county. Decently affordable prices and yummy food: - Fish Sauce Chicken Wings $12: well marinaded, crisped, and sizeable wings! lalalove the strong garlic flavor. - Green Thai Tea w Calamansi $6: refreshing, tart, and tasty - Cafe Sua Da $6 - Banana Nuggets $5: subtle undertones of coconut. Perfect slight crisp on the outside and chew on the inside. so yummy! I do think you get more bang for the buck with the larger one, but these are easier to eat. We easily found street parking at around 7pm on a Tuesday. Decent pace of people - there was almost another party aside from us in the one hour or so we were there. The owner/chef speaks viet well - she came from VN at the age of 14 in the early 1990s. She's very sweet - she hooked it up w samples of the banana nuggets. She takes venmo and zelle.

    What a cute hidden gem! This is on someone's house property and what a creative and cute atmosphere they've created! Feels like the night markets I truly miss in Asia. They specialize in Vietnamese street food/drinks and other southeast Asian goodies. They make their food to order. I only tried the sweet stuff but can't wait to return for their savory dishes.

    Fresh food!

    Delicious food! The fried banana is definitely worth it, and is easy to share with a crowd! Ambiance is set up to try to give you the street side food cart experience! Service is as very fast and friendly! Highly recommended, and we'll be back!

    The fried banana nuggets are seriously addicting. I do prefer them over the giant fried banana. Perfectly golden batter and crispy on the outside, with a hot, soft, naturally sweet center. This time I placed two orders of the mini nuggets. I also tried the shaken beef with garlic noodles, and it was delicious. The beef was flavorful and tender, and the garlic noodles paired with it so well was super tasty! Overall, if you're willing to wait a bit for freshly made food, this spot is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be back, especially for those fried bananas.

    Parking: located at the corner with a "k fried banana" sign in front, easy to spot! Parking anywhere near the street Service: customer service was great. The workers were very friendly and helped me decide what to order. There was so many good options! They also had two cute corgis :) I got the pan fried rice cake, fried banana, corn milk, and house special wing. Each item was delicious and well worth the price. I will be coming back and recommending to others! I absolutely adore the interior design and there's a good amount of seating

    Fire pit seating!

    I had driven by a few times and always wanted to check it out. Glad I found a chance today to finally sample their "banana nuggets", which stood out to me when I browsed the menu. Stopped by on a Saturday night. Curbside parking was easy and only a few feet away. Spot was well-lit and inviting. It's an intimate vibe with just a few tables. We got fire pit seating! Kelly the owner/chef was very welcoming and attentive. We ordered spring rolls, eggs rolls, banana nuggets, and the fried Nutella banana. Every single bite was soo good, made fresh on the spot. The spring rolls came with house-made peanut sauce and it was the best peanut sauce I've ever had. We will be back to try more of the menu. We loved it. Kelly is great. 5 stars!

    Wonderful service by all workers here! I did not know this gem was nearby next to me. I enjoyed their new coconut lime refresher l. I also enjoyed their Nutella banana, it would be good if they have powdered sugar to go along with it. Amazing will come again.

    Front of the restaurant

    Went to get our regular Nutella fried banana order but left with full and happy stomachs after trying the crispy garlic wings with crispy garlic noodles!! The crisp on both dishes was so satisfying and the taste was so comforting and tasty. I loved the hefty amount of garlic and onions on the noodles as well as the jalapeños. We also tried the honeycomb cake and it was so yummy. I loved the fun chewy texture of it and it paired deliciously with coconut milk. We were served quickly and given great recommendations by the wonderful women running the shop! Loved the lighting and decorations as well as the cute corgis you might get a chance to see. Excited to come back in the future to try more of these amazing homemade dishes. I recommend eating there while your food is fresh and hot!!

She's been coming here since before they upgraded the space, and from what I understand it's run by brothers. The family is really nice, and it definitely has that local neighborhood spot feel. The main reason she brought me was for their **bún riêu**, but I have to be honest -- it didn't really taste like bún riêu to me. It was still good, but the broth had more of a tomato-y, clearer base and felt like its own soup rather than a true bún riêu. I was also surprised they didn't have **shrimp paste** available for it, which felt kind of odd. They do have **bánh bèo** and some other Vietnamese dishes, which I thought was cool, and overall everything we tried was okay. I've had a different soup from here before, and I've also gotten it delivered, and I'd say the experience is pretty much the same across the board -- decent, solid, nothing bad, but nothing that really stands out for me either. That said, I'd still come back because my girlfriend enjoys it, the family is sweet, and there aren't a ton of Vietnamese spots I've tried out in the Valley yet. It's one of those neighborhood places that's nice to have around, even if it's not something I'd personally go out of my way for.

All sandwiches are also $10, so go crazy and try a couple different ones, to me nothing beats the grilled pork though.

Go check them out, grab a lotto ticket if your into that, get some great food, support a local woman & minority owned business, not enough of them out there. Enjoy!

This "joint" we were introduced to by a Vietnamese colleague seemed so unique and magical! It was nothing fancy, the tables were perpetually sticky.. but every morsel we tasted was served with such pride, and it was delicious. That was then. This is now. The interior has since been renovated, the furniture updated and gone are the tables wrapped in shipping tape and cardboard to keep them steady. It looks nice! The small side area of the building where the aunties used to clean and prep the fresh veggies, basil, mint, cilantro.. is now a full up boba bar with a sweet smiling lady behind the counter. There were no less than 6 employees wandering in the dining area and not one addressed us when we walked in until we called out to them. I'm no royalty demanding to be served like a princess, but can you say HI and offer a table? They have at least a dozen tables in the dining room, and only 2 had patrons so they weren't busy. It was around 6:30pm so the dinner rush had passed. We needed to wait about 10-15 minutes for friends to arrive so we asked for menus, water and I ordered a salted Plum Soda which you can't really find at too many places outside of Orange County. It was refreshing on a hot day! I was shocked to see how abbreviated the menu had become. Out of the Pho So 1 locations we have been to, we always felt this one had more dishes to choose from including desserts. This menu looked shorter than the one in Granada Hills (on Devonshire) and when I asked one of the young ladies about the dishes I can come for, she shriveled her nose and said "we don't have that". In particular I wanted Bun Cha Ha Noi.. and was suggested to get Bun Thit Nuong as a substitute. Ok, they both have pork and both have a form of rice noodle, but that's where the similarities end. When our friends arrived, they sat down and immediately they wanted to take our orders. Friends asked for drinks and some time to peruse the menu. After a few more visits to take the meal order we finally made our decisions. The food came out quickly. This is always on point at the Pho So 1 locations. No complaints! But our friends had to ask again for their drink orders and got a little side eye. They asked nicely and were nothing but polite. This just didn't feel right. The experience was so lackluster I didn't even take any pics and if you've seen my other reviews, that's not me at all. Am I spoiled because I've been exposed "the good stuff" in our adventures to San Gabriel Valley? Maybe. But I'd still go back to the Pho So 1 spots in Gardena (the guy who manages there is amazing and should give lessons!) and Granada Hills (Devonshire, not the newer one on Chatsworth which was also disappointing). Leaving this here so my fond old memories don't bring me back to this spot in Reseda. 30+ years later, there are a lot of other choices to satisfy the need for Vietnamese food.

It had been a while since I visited my places in Reseda and I wanted to see if they're still as good as before. Sandwich Express did not disappoint! Back in the 80's I lived in Northridge and had a Vietnamese co-worker who was a friend and fellow foodie. He introduced me to banh mi and Sandwich Express, and I'm so glad he did! Starting with their amazing banh (baguette rolls), they're baked fresh daily. They're crisp on the outside and perfectly soft in their interior. Not too dense or thick - just the right crisp and airy bread to filling ratio that you want in a banh mi! You can also buy baguettes to take home. Back in the day they were 3 for $1! Yup, apparently I'm that old... today they're a couple of bucks, but still worth it. Sorry I failed to take pics of my sandwich when it was freshly made, I was just so excited to go back in time to this little corner of Reseda that looks like it hasn't changed! The photo shown is the next day.. and that's only HaLF of the sandwich! The lady at the counter was so sweet! Don't assume rudeness for challenges with communication. I was nice and she was kind in return. There's a language barrier and at first she was shy, but once we worked through the English-Vietnamese translations with the help of Google, I was able to ask her if they sell Kho Ga La Chanh (Chicken Jerky) - and she ran excitedly to the back and produced a sealed bag of their homemade jerky! Not the same flavor profile as the stuff I buy in San Gabriel Valley, but it's a start! I'll bring them a sample the next time I get a batch to see if they can mimic the sweet spice. Theirs is a little more "five spice" forward. I placed my order for a #1 "Dac Biet" sandwich, "extra pâté, extra veggies". That's my default sammie by which I judge all Bánh Mi and I'm here to say that even a day later, right out of my fridge it's still THE best Banh Mi in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys! Bright, fresh, generously filled.. and the magic bread. I happen to know that a local chain of popular phô restaurants buys their bahn (rolls) daily from Sandwich Express to make their own sandwiches and to serve with their Bho Ko (stew)! If you're wondering for reference where my bar is set, my go-to banh mi spots in San Gabriel Valley are Bánh Mi Hue Thai and Banh Mi Hoa Phat. ~IYKYK~ What has changed at Sandwich Express? It's not just sandwiches anymore AND they have a few tables inside where you can sit down to eat! They don't have my beloved Soda Xí Muội (salted plum soda) or the lime version either. Just canned and bottled American sodas, but that's not a deal breaker. Check out the posted menu pics. Bún Bò Huě, Bò Kho.. the owner did suggest calling first to make sure these items are available on the day you want to come, but she boasts that it's very authentic! They even have broken rice dishes with grilled pork chop (Cóm Tãm Súòn)! I read in another review that the original owners sold. I don't know if this is accurate or when it happened.. but I didn't see the older people that were often in the kitchen so it's possible! Back to the changes - they have desserts now, too! They also cater! What?!? No longer cash only, they accept Visa/Mastercard. I'm so glad we stopped! They still hold the #1 spot in the area. Convince me otherwise!

We have been loyal customers for over 10 years and frequently order the beef sandwich and pâté. Yesterday, we ordered two beef sandwiches and one pâté. Since we live only 8-10 minutes away, we returned home immediately after picking up the order. When I started eating, I noticed that the pâté tasted very sour and spoiled. Unfortunately, I had already mixed part of it with my rice, so I had to throw it away. We called the store right away to report the issue, and they told us we could bring the pâté back the next day. Today, we returned to the store. We did not request a refund--we simply wanted to exchange the item and were willing to pay the difference for a beef sandwich instead. However, the staff member we spoke with was very rude and accused us of lying, claiming that we had eaten the pâté. We explained that we had to discard it since it was mixed with rice and even showed a photo that we throw it in to the trash, but she continued to question our honesty. In the past, we have had positive experiences with previous staff, and the owners have always been kind. Unfortunately, this particular employee demonstrated very poor customer service and made the situation unnecessarily unpleasant. An apology would have been appropriate. The employee declined to provide her name and appeared hesitant. She is a newer staff member, approximately in her 50s, and spoke incessantly while repeatedly blaming us for the situation. This is not about the cost--the amount is small. It is about how customers are treated. While this issue could have been escalated further, including reporting to the health department, we chose not to. What we expect instead is for the store to ensure proper food quality and provide better TRAINING for staff. Due to this experience, we will not be returning and will share our experience with others.

    Back after a few years. I forgot how wonderful this place is…read more Easy parking, efficient service and delicious food. I ordered the vegan chicken and mushroom bahn mi and it was just as good as I remembered. I will be back soon.

    The flavors and the taste of the food here was alright. This is the second time I got a bahn mi…read morefrom here and I think it's nothing too extraordinary or special. I am grateful though to have an option in the area to order bahn mi. I got the Deli Special Bahn Mi, which has 3 types of meat in it, like Vietnamese ham and char Siu pork. I liked the crunch of the pickled carrots and daikon. I also requested for no jalapeno and cucumber. The bread tasted crisp and chewy, and overall it was something that filled me up for what I needed. My friend got a vermicelli bowl and felt like the overall dish was also okay, and that the fish sauce could have been more flavorful since that's usually a highlight for her. There was a bit of a long wait for it, like almost 20 minutes. We definitely chose to eat it to-go since the interior is also small and there's about 3 tables or less. They do offer an extensive menu though and I was pretty tempted to buy a drink and try it out from here. Parking lot is entered through Reseda and there's a whole area of the lot that's been fenced off for the longest. Might be hard to enter or exit if it's a busy time because of traffic. No bathrooms! Water cups available on the side if you need to fill up some water.

    I was finally able to try out this spot after hearing from others how good the food is here!…read moreWalking in on a Saturday afternoon, it was very relaxed and welcoming. We were so hungry for Thai food and ordered about 3-4 items. Spoiler alert, we could not finish everything but it was all so good and delicious!!! I complemented my meal with a small Thai iced tea and it had a great blend with strong taste of their condensed milk. The plates were all so delicious and so good. I wanted beef jerky, a dish I always order from thai restaurants but I couldn't find it on the menu. Luckily there was such a thing when I ordered!!! The beef jerky was chewy and not super hard when I bit it. The meat was good quality, it was a bit like steak to be honest!!! The fried rice was also just regular order but it was so tasty, buttery, and yummy. I loved the honey roasted ribs because it was so tender and flavorful. The panang curry was also super super good. I don't usually enjoy curry like that because it gets too spicy but the mild level was perfect for my taste buds and so good and creamy with the chicken we ordered for it. The white rice it came with would be doused with the curry sauce/stew and it would just be an amazing combo of flavors!!!! I would definitely recommend this spot, and would be excited to come back here for more for even hangouts with friends.

    1) The perfect Pad Ki Mao: al dente wide, flat rice pasta deeply absorbed the smokiness of the wok,…read moreThai basil, garlic, whisper of gastrique from possibly vinegar, earthy sweet Hoisin sauce, and Umami of Nampla/fish sauce. Green and red bell peppers were flash sautéed with crunchiness, and onion slices caramelized with a touch of crispness, flecks of crushed red chiles. 2) Mi Krob: Towering Mound of thin rice noodles quick fried for crispy puffiness tossed in a sweet chile, thickened sauce. Fried dry Tōfu, bits of airy fried egg, pieces of shrimp, chopped green onions, red bellpepper slices, refreshingly watery crunchy bean sprouts. 3) Angel Wings: Pleasantly light, crunchy Panko Japanese bread crumb coating. The chicken meat filling in the deboned chicken wing is ultra puréed to the point it's a solid, gummy pâté where you can't distinguish the different ingredients. Cubed Cucumber sweet, acidic vinegar sauce, and sweet, thickened Thai chile sauce are the accompaniments. . 4) Pad Si Yu: Mostly similar ingredients as the Pad Ki Mao but without the aromatic Thai basil, and a sweet soy sauce is used for touch of fermented earthiness. Florets of al dente broccoli. To me, the flavours are duller than the exemplary Pad Ki Mao. Main dining room along with covered back patio seating. Wide window to view what's happening in the kitchen for tables near the front entrance. Good overall Thai food. 4- stars
