    Took a bite out of my sandwich and noticed a dead fly in my sandwich. Completely disgusting and an example of horrible quality control of this restaurants food. What's worse is when I went to show the worker the sandwich with the fly in it he disagreed and said it was "Black Pepper" than when I said look closely it's a fly he grabbed it then flicked it to the side. Completely unforgivable and avoidable if you show more care and understanding.

    This place is still my favorite Vietnamese Sandwich place!! Prices are still decent and I also love their Avocado slush!! So happy they keep their menu selection mainly the same for most. Service is decent here. This is a casual place and there is parking in the back.

    Aluminum in food

    This place is a disaster, from a half hour wait for a 1 sandwich, to watching the cashier lady handle cash and cards and then grab bread by her bare hand to bag for customer. I got the number 6 which was mostly just fat pieces of pork, so I opened it up to try to remove the fat pieces and I found a piece of aluminum ( sandwich was wrapped in paper).

    Banh Tet cut and pan fried, very delicious!

    This store has been a valley staple since forever! Prices are affordable and food is very tasty but don't expect clean and ideal place to dine in. It's best to get to-go. Bread is made in house in the morning so the earlier the better or else you'll get the classic issue of your sandwich tearing up your mouth. I love their dac biet #1 special sandwich, good amount of pate and stuffing. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient. If you speak Vietnamese they're incredibly excited to speak back in Vietnamese. Went here to get food for tet, their banh tet and banh Chung with dua mon is REALLY good here. Highly recommend it's the only place in the valley I know that offers them, and they're well priced for holiday seasonal food!

    Amazing banh mi place!! The bread of the subs are always crunchy & feel fresh. The customer service is great & straight forward. It's a cool mom & pop shop, they have casual indoor seating for you to enjoy your sandwich inside or you can just order & go if you're in a rush. They also have different flavored slushy boba & great Vietnamese coffee!

    Love love love! It was my 1st time and ill definitely will be going back for more. Great prices and large portions.

    This is the very rude cashier, and the one who did our order. Beware of that woman!!

    We tried this place because the VALLEY SANDWICH in Reseda Blvd (where I always order) was closed. We ordered #6, #9, and #12. The taste was just okay... nothing special. The liver pâté lacked flavor. And the service sucked! The woman at the register was so rude--while we were still deciding what to order, she shouted at us and said something we couldn't even understand. It was as if she was saying, "What's your order?" even though it was obvious we were still looking at the menu pictures on the wall. Then I paid using my card... an error occurred, and she said, "No money!" I felt so insulted. I tried again, and the payment went through. Then she started making our order. As we were watching, she shouted at us to sit down. But no--we wanted to see how it's done. My sister sat down anyway, worried she might skimp on our food. She may have been rude to cover up her lack of English. When we asked her about the food, she completely ignored us--it was obvious she had a hard time speaking English. This lady was soooo rude, it totally ruined my day! We will never ever be back. Oh--and your banh mi? So-so. Not even close to Valley Sandwich in Reseda!

    Grilled Pork Banh Mi (Banh Mi Thit Nuong) $9.50 04/22/2025

    I came in on 04/22/2025 around noontime. Food: I only wanted to try their Banh Mi, but was also distracted by their other food displayed at the counter. Grilled Pork Banh Mi (Banh Mi Thit Nuong) ($9.50): The sandwich is huge. The pork was flavorful, I asked for extra pate ($1.00). The bread is crispy. Bo Bia ($9.50): They were selling it for 3/9.50. The rolls are huuuge. The peanut sauce and chili crisp pairs well with the rolls. Sesame Ball (Banh Cam) ($1.50): it was crispy on the outside, and the bean filling on the inside is not too sweet. Pairs well with coffee. Service: The service took a while which was understandable. Tons of people were ordering to go. But they prepared the food at a reasonable speed. I appreciate that. The lady at the cashier was kind to answer my questions and she recommended some food for me to try, and it was great! Atmosphere: The dining space was clean. A little bit loud, but it's a restaurant so that's expected. Overall the food tasted great. Would come back and try their other banh mi. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

    I'm almost upset that this place has been here and I'm only just getting acquainted. This is a zero frills restaurant but I don't need ambiance when I can have a sandwich this freaking good. Food was made quickly and I ate it probably too quickly because seriously how do they make it taste this good??

    Is there a vegetarian sandwich besides the tofu sandwich? Love their tofu sandwiches but also wanted a second choice. Thanks.

    Yes! They have a mushroom banh mi or both tofu + mushroom and a veggie sandwich with avocado!

Usual traffic for a coffee shop at noon. Ordered our coffee at 12:40pm but didn't get it until 1:06pm. There were a few customers who ordered before us and received their drinks. My husband inquired at the counter about our drinks. The nice young lady checked and informed us they accidentally forgot to make our drinks. We said no worries accidents happen. We ordered the Hot Salted Caramel Flan Latte and the Holiday Chocolate Cookie Latte. The drinks were ok. It was watered down and not hot. I couldn't taste the espresso. It wasn't fresh. We checked our receipt to make sure we got the right order. We did. We also didn't realize they charge for everything. They charged us 2% for the milk and 2 shots of espresso even though it was not mentioned nor was I asked if I wanted 2% milk and 2 espresso shots. I'm just glad we tried San Fernando Coffee shop. Not sure if we will return anytime soon to try other items on the menu.

I've been to South Korea, where I've had some of the best coffee of my life, so my standards are pretty high. Re Coffee absolutely hits the spot. Their coffee is strong without being bitter, creamy without overpowering the coffee flavor, and perfectly balanced. Every sip reminds me why I keep coming back. Beyond the coffee, the shop has a warm neighborhood coffee shop vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The staff are always friendly and keep things moving despite how busy the shop gets. As for parking, there are a few spots in the back, and you can usually find street parking along Reseda as well. There are plenty of coffee shops around, but Re Coffee stands out for consistently delivering a great cup of coffee. The constant line isn't hype--it's well deserved.

They have a small and limited parking lot behind the coffee shop as well as some street parking open on Reseda and Dearborn. There's a Trader Joe's and Chili's across the street with more parking as well and I have parked behind Dave's Hot Chicken and the Habit and there is always space there. Ambiance: This coffee shop is quaint and feels a little cramped when you finally get inside and through the line. There is a counter top with some chairs as well as one couch and desk where one can study although, I personally never would. It's clean and bright with a minimalistic vibe inside. With it being cramped, you basically just get in, order, and get out. It's rare to find seating inside and it can feel overwhelming just sitting there trying to enjoy your drink with so many people around. Drinks: We've been there multiple times and you can always expect the same- mid, slightly overpriced, oh- getting some post purchase clarity. But it's the type of slightly regretful decision we continue to make every time. We've gotten the matcha einspanner on several occasions, vanilla iced latte, caramel latte, and the most disgusting Americano known to man. Whether you get the dark or light roast Americano, you will not run away from the burnt and bitter flavor. Service: The line moves quickly, they take your order and get you in and out without a long wait. They also offer stamp cards, buy 10 get the 11th free. What a steal! Gimme 10 more! Overall: All this to say, it's oddly grown to be a valley staple, and represents some bordering LA values- overpriced, overhyped, but for some reason addicting in the fact you always seem to go back. I would say 3.5 but it doesn't allow it, so I'm feeling generous today.
