Recently went here , because I was craving some Pho. I was terribly disappointed!!! Seems like portions and quality have gone way down... Putting damn spaghetti noodles in the Pho... WTH!!! read more

I love this place!!!!! THIS PLACE IS ONE OF THE BEST PHO PLACES I've ever tried!!!! I always get the same thing here- one shrimp pho. Sometimes i get extra shrimp but it ALWAYS HITS THE SPOT! I can't not come here it's so good the only thing i would have for constructive criticism would be that if they could bring back the buy one get one boba!!!! I love that offer :) other than that BRING YOUR FAMILIES HERE AND BE PREPARED TO WALK OUT EXTREMELY FULL AND HAPPY!!! The food is awesome and prepared with love as the staff know what they're doing! Thank you Banh Mi Che Cali!!! read more

This is where I go in Pasadena when I'm craving Vietnamese snacks. I like the sesame balls, the sandwiches, and the meat pies. Sure, the pho is not the absolute best I've had, and some of the dishes are definitely not authentic, but the food is good enough to hit the spot when I have a sudden craving and don't feel like driving far. read more

What happen!! This place use to be good. Now very average, cold non crispy egg rolls if you can't get that right, I'm sorry I'm out. Pho, not hot, average ingredients, average flavor and content. If you go here, just be careful. read more

Used to be my favorite after class spot to hit but now it's too expensive. They have hired all there prices across the menu and yet they still show the old prices on all menus except the few they have for Inseating. Dissatisfied. When I brought it up to them they did nothing to make an effort to change or take out the old menus with old prices so it doesn't confuse anyone. read more

The shrimp spring rolls are fresh and tasty. I've never tried their pho so can't comment, but I always come here when I have a hankering for spring rolls. Service is average. read more

This is like the yoshinoya of pho. Good enough to be addicting, and to satisfy a craving, but nothing fancy about the place or the service. They do bring the pho to you though. Tonight it's my chicken soup for my sore throat. It's working. read more

Very plain broth. Almost like water. I guess the location means everything. It was busy.... the fried rice was too oily and the pork chop was not charr broiled but just micro waved(if they used the pan, they don't know how to use the high heat.) taste wise it was one star. It was the location and cheap price that got them two stars. read more

Been here several times and it mostly never disappoints. We usually order banh mi buy 2 get one free, can't really go wrong with Any of em Also order the thai tea bogo with jelly and boba. The chicken pho is really really good!!! The broth is actually super yummy and they give a lot so just put extra noodles in it. Parking can be found on the street or in their small lots. read more

I keep returning here every 4 months or so, thinking the food is going to be really good again, like years before, but now I have to say that it's consistently bad - and the service is almost dismissive, like you're an interruption to their day. The pad thai I ordered was pretty lackluster and was served lukewarm. The chicken was obviously cooked but was served room temperature, like they just plopped previously cooked but room temperature chicken on top of the pad thai. Also it was slabs of chicken laying on top, not bite sized pieces mixed in. The Thai iced tea is syrupy and tastes like sugary artificial flavors. I am saying this as someone who has been drinking it for exactly 40 years. I had my first Thai iced tea on my 21st birthday and yesterday was my 61st birthday. The tabletops here are filthy. A few are unbussed with used plates and bowls just sitting out ignored by staff. I won't eat here again. The management doesn't appear to care about customer service, cleanliness, or even heating the food properly. read more

Great place, came here with my niece and we really enjoyed the food, we highly recommend it read more

There was a cockroach in my pho. Disgusting place! Totally disappointed by the food. Service was ok

i live this place with all my heart. this will forever be by favorite pho place. i always order the spicy vegan noodle soup. it's delicious, and it's my comfort food. the people are very nice. read more

Never going to this place again. Placed an order way in advance, they didn't start working on my order until I actually got there to pick up my order. Waited and waited. They weren't even busy! I finally got my order and left. Should have checked it there to make sure it was correct and that all items were correct...but since I'd already waited, didn't think they'd screw up my order too. Again, never going back. read more

The best deal is the buy 2 get 1 sandwich free which comes out to 8.37. The sandwiches are pretty good sometimes the break can be a little stale. But at less than $3 each they are a steal. The veggies complement the meat and the service is always pretty quick. read more

Supper blend pho. My bf and I ordered the food via Uber eats. The delivery arrived but the food was so disappointing. Also We ordered the especial pho, it was supposed to come three different kind of meats and only came one. The second order was a pho ramen, it was disappointing as well. It was basically chicken pho with egg noodles and eggs and bamboo... oh well... definitely not coming back. read more

I literally only really come here for the Thai Tea because it's among the best I've tasted (PERSONALLY) so far. I've been coming here on and off for years. The workers are always busy so it might be a lil hard to get their attention, maybe try saying excuse me to get their attention. Anyway, the food is also fresh. Pad Thai Combo is delicious. Their sandwiches are great. But I just really really love their thai tea! read more

Pho taste is great. Sandwiches are advertised as buy 2 get 1 free. Ordered mine and girl refused to give third for free. I pointed to the flashing sign behind her and she said I had to ask for it. Other than this experience the food was good. read more

I haven't been disappointed yet. And the delivery is so fast! I get the Chicken lemongrass sandwich and spring rolls. So yummy. And I can't beat the price. I've had them deliver a handful of times already! read more

Love this place but not like the original one in Rosemead. More desserts and variety.

Liked the social combination pho. Simply delicious. A good option for lunch. Cheap as well. Spicy beef noodle soup was just okay.

I ordered the spicy vegan pho and it blew me away!! It was SO flavorful and delicious. It has two different kinds of tofu that are soaked with flavor and two different types of vegan beef. This is something that will be one of my go-to's, especially when it's getting cooler outside. So comforting! read more

My go to for lunch after class. The food is tasty. Decently priced and their deals are helpful like the Banh mi its buy 2 get 1 free if you order it to go and the drinks are buy one get one free. read more

Everything we have ordered from this place has always been excellent. Love the thai iced tea with boba, the pad thai, the pho, the curry is pretty good, the sesame balls, the curry pockets, the sandwiches! Everything is pretty affordable, which is why we come here more than most other restaurants (combined). Inexpensive, delicious, and great for small or large groups! read more

When you order a "VEGAN" banh mi and it's actually a misprint on the menu but you only find that out after you ate the thing, you might think, WHY didn't the girl at the counter inform me of this before I paid for it and ate it??? How ridiculous to have such a bad misprint! The peanut sauce for spring rolls is very watered down. The banh mi we ordered took more than 20 minutes. I finally approached the counter and the sandwiches were ready, just sitting there being ignored until I asked for them. Come to find out they forgot to put cilantro on them, which is a pretty essential ingredient. So I had to be THAT customer who not only was asking for their food but also for the forgotten ingredients. Uggghhh. That sucked. I used to go here a lot when I was a student at PCC across the street. It was better back then. It seems like someone else might be running it now? We don't plan to return to this location. read more

I mean come on the prices here are amazing. Good pho and banh mi, buy 2 get 1 free! It's fast pace and the service is quick. Come here for the price and food. Don't expect fine dinning. read more

Each time I order via Uber Eats, on the phone, or sometimes a walk-in I tell then no Jalapeños in the same bag as the bean sprouts. But every time I check they still put them in there. I wish they could understand what the customers requested is important read more

The WORST Vietnamese sandwiches and rolls I have ever have in my life! The shrimps they used in the rolls are like rubber, not fresh at all. The baguettes (if they qualify to be a baguette) were lumpy. I felt I was eating a pretzel. read more

Good banh mi teriyaki beef! They stopped the buy 2 banh mi and get 1 free. But I Will come back for more!

This place gives you so much for your buck. How they knew I like a spoon and fork with my fried rice is so awesome and to already packaged their delicious hot sauce is perfect. Did I mention how delicious their Thai Tea Boba is. read more

DO NOT EVER EXPECT TO GET WHAT YOU ORDERED from this place. Ordering in writing via app, calling in or going in to the restaurant in person. After 12+ times from ordering from here I have come to understand that the staff is incompetent in understanding English (which the counter guy seemed fully fluent in) or following requests. EVEN AFTER THE PERSON ON THE COUNTER CONFIRMS THEY UNDERSTAND YOU. So on a lookout for a new spot. Would not ever recommend this spot to order from... specially if you have food allergies, people here WILL NOT UNDERSTAND. read more

Wow, it takes 40mins to wait for a sandwich here??! Service is sooo lazy and slow. I placed an uber eats order 30mins before i left to go pick it up. They didnt even bother making it. They are extremely slow and have 3-4 ppl working and they were not even that busy inside. I wish i could give them NEGATIVE 5 stars!!!! read more

If you are looking to get your pho fix in Pasadena, here is where you should come. If you didn't know this is a pretty big Vietnamese chain around the San Gabriel Valley. They don't serve the best Vietnamese food but it does the job and it's cheap. This location does have less options than the other ones I've been to. I'm guessing it's because the demand for Viet food is not that high in Pasadena. They have a huge variety of banh mi sandwiches. If you buy 2 of them in the French bread you get one free. They have various pho options - the difference between each of them is what they put in it (i.e. tripe, raw beef, meatballs, etc.) The broth here isn't as rich as I usually like my pho, but there is plenty of flavor. If you like pho that's a bit lighter this place would be perfect. The parking here is very limited. Please be respectful and only park on spots that are reserved for the restaurant. There are several spots that are reserved for the massage parlor behind. If there is no parking at the lot you can usually park on the main/side streets. read more

This place has the most delish bbq pork Banh Mi....the pork is perfectly seasoned, nice light spiciness, and fresh carrots with cilantro.

Went for lunch- reasonable prices. Large portions. Had the Pad Thai- tasty and satisfying. Order at register and food brought to table. Not overly attentive but accommodating when you get their attention. Across the street from Pasadena City College. Would return again for lunch if in area- parking can be an issue. read more

Unexpectedly found this gem when craving pho recently. It's now one of my favorite spots! I've only tried the pho, so can't speak to the rest of their menu, but I imagine it's all great. Side note: When ordering for pickup or delivery, they package everything so well. read more

great vegetarian pho and amazing lemon grass tofu banh mi. i also really love the tofu curry noodles! they always have great deals. also they are very nice. i felt i should write a review after my uber eats driver messed up my delivery and after spending 45 min on the phone with uber eats no resolution so i called the resturant they said i needed to complain to uber cause this has happened before but they offered to replace the missing food if i drove to pick it up. i've loved this place for a long time it's a gem. read more

Lucky to have one star. The food here is so pricy n taste less, and long wait. Compare to Other Pho Banh close to school the students spend more money should be student price. Parking is a nightmare, cannot park on the street because of the red lines. read more

I love Bahn Mi Che Cali! I love their concept, and most importantly, I love their food. You order and pay at the register, they give you a number and your food is delivered to your table via waitress/er. The attendant/cashier at this location was very friendly and even came to check if I liked what I was eating (and that's definitely not common in these kinds of joints across the board, as most of us know). Now to the food. I've had Pho, bun bo hue, etc, at some of the other locations, and it's okay i.e., it's not perhaps exactly what you might (emphasis on might) get at a proper sit down Vietnamese restaurant that has a following, say like Saigon Eden. It just lacks the star anise, lemongrass, etc. that makes Pho broth so extraordinarily addictive. Here I had their chicken curry over chow fun style rice noodles. The curry was not piping hot but I still give them a 5-star review because the taste was simply amazing. A little sweet, slightly creamy and coconutty, and the spice was just on point. They have raised the bar and I am so glad about it. Even though there are no specials at this particular location (and they're next to PCC, go figure), I would come back, have chicken curry over thick rice noodles (the best approximation to Laksa in the SGV) any time! And request they heat up the curry all the way. read more

This was unfortunately by far the most bland pho I have ever had, which is literally the opposite of why you choose to have pho! Depth in flavor was lacking on all fronts. I ordered the spicy beef noodle pho without noodles and put two entire stems of basil, added 6 pieces of jalapeño, squeezed 2 half limes and still it was bland. The best thing this place had going for it was a station where you can pick up all your own basil, lime sprouts etc. I would not return. read more
