    Peach iced tea with peach popping boba

    Trust the 5 star reviews this place is still great. Bahn mi is so good and the prices are great.

    We ordered their special which included a bahn mi, a fruit tea, and bag of chips. The bahn mi was Amazing, we tried the grilled pork and grilled chicken! The fruit teas were so good, we had the mango and strawberry. The chips were regular fritos lay flavors, I do wish there was a twist on those We also tried some of their desserts and specialty chips. All of which were delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend you check out this place

    I love Vietnamese food! The first time I tried this place it was good. I'm yet to try other items from their menu, but I had their banh mi and it was delicious. This is located at the Food Maxx shopping area on White Lane. When you first walk in they have a snack shelf with Asian goodies and a display shelf with desserts. The inside is clean, it's pretty plain inside, but they have a few tables if you want to dine in. Service was very fast and the employees are nice. If you have never tried Vietnamese food, then you need to check this place out. The place is not hard to find and parking is never an issue since they share the parking lot with Food Maxx.

    3. Pork Roll Sandwich
    Angie B.

    Visited on Monday as a recommendation from my cousin! First time trying bahn mi sandwich and I got the grilled pork. The vegetables in the sandwich were very fresh (cucumber, jalopeno, carrots, etc) and the pork was seasoned perfectly. I ordered the meal that was $10.99 which includes the Vietnamese iced coffee, sandwich, and chips. Exceptional priced meal! The iced coffee was very sweet and delicious! The lady cashier was VERY sweet and very kind. She made my son and I feel very welcome. Exceptional service! I cannot wait to go back and try other sandwiches and drinks! Definitely will be recommending this place to others. Also, they have Japanese desserts and we tried out a bunch and they were all very good! Tried the chestnut cake and rolled mocha sponge cake! Highly recommend!

    Fast and cheap lunch spot with classic banh mi Vietnamese sandwiches! We did the lunch special to go and did the house banh mi sandwiches which included pate, carrots, cucumber, jalapeño, and some sauce on the French baguette. It also came with some frito lay brand chips and a drink either a fruit tea or coffee. I got the strawberry fruit tea and kumquat fruit tea and added boba to both for an extra 60 cents each. I also grabbed a Japanese style cheese cake that they had in to go packages. Service was friendly and relatively fast, I waited about 10 mins total. Inside they had small tables and chairs to sit and eat inside. They had Asian convenience store goodies and drinks also to grab. Definitely a quick service lunch vibe! I felt like this was the classic Banh mi experience you would get at a corner shop or street vendor in Vietnam. It was also priced really well to get you coming back every day for lunch! It was 10.99 for the sandwich, chips, and drink. I also never had a drink to go bag before for my tea! That was fun! I'll be back and telling my friends!

    Delicious sandwich first time eating at this gem the owner is super sweet she's very welcoming and explains all her drinks and meals made me feel special will come back for some drinks too. Place is very cute also . Must stop and give it a try to all sandwich drinks and pastries.

    Grilled pork bahn mi
    Courtnay L.

    I had the Grilled pork bahn mi. Bread was crunchy outside soft inside. Pork was flavorful and hardly any fat. Veggies were fresh. Sooooo good. The Vietnamese coffee was DElicious. The whole meal was about $10. The only thing that would make the sandwich better is if they offered the grilled pork WITH the pâté.

    Snackers!

    Visiting my family in Bakersfield has been very fun considering all the new places to eat popping up. Salt and Sweet Spot was our choice before heading back down to LA. Very happy to have tried the banh mi here as my bro and I were craving it on a hot summer bako day. They've only been open for 6 months, the place is clean and tidy inside, enough tables for a grab and go lunch, a section of Asian snacks and a glorious selection of Japanese pastries STRAIGHT FROM JAPAN (every Monday!) in the fridge section. The second we walked in we were greeted by Fiona who is by far the sweetest woman on the planet - she is so nice, so friendly, and so great to talk to - you can tell she loves getting to know her customers. She even let us sample the Japanese steamed cheesecake after we already bought some. Generous soul indeed! I told her I am vegan, and she made a special banh mi with tofu, which is not on the menu. Heart burst with appreciation! And it was GOOD! I made it into a combo and that came with chips and a Vietnamese coffee, and ordered 2 grilled pork banh mis. Everyone enjoyed it, and the jalapeños, gave it a lovely kick. It's an affordable place offering fresh food with lovely company from fiona!! I can't wait to go back - thank you Fiona!

    Lunch's lunch  for $10.99
    Toni M.

    You want authentic Vietnamese banh mi come here! You get a sandwich, bag of chips, & a drink all for only $10.99. You can't get lunch for that price anymore.. plus the ingredients are fresh and the place is very clean. Service - sweetest owner. Support mom & pop shop :)

One day after work I'm kinda sad... being an LA boy I missed my asian cuisine. Mom was out at MahJong and dad was idk planting flowers or something (he's retired now so I guess he picked up Botany). Out comes the beef chow fun. Quite frankly it itched my chinese tickle. You know its good when it's named "fun." That's "noodles" in Mandarin for my non-Mandarin friends. 5 out of 5.
