I've heard a lot about this place and randomly picked it because I was too lazy to cook. I absolutely love their bo bia, it really reminds me of Vietnam. They also have many other great to-go food options. I will definitely be back more often. Every roll is huge, the prices are reasonable, and the cashier is very nice. read more

This place offers smoothie, coffee, juice, banh mi and noodle soup. It's located at the corner of Da Lat Supermarket and a popular place where all the uncles come to hang out outside. There are also tables indoor. We tried their banh mi and pate so. The most expensive banh mi is the ham and cheese at $6.50, special at $6.25 and others at $5.75. All the noodle soups are $10. Drinks are $4-6. Their banh mi was dry and hard for me. The flavors and filling wasn't anything special but what draws people in are the low prices. You can purchase CA lottery and scratchers as well as desserts and premade snacks on the counter. Spring rolls, egg rolls, sweet rice, boiled peanuts, literally all Viet bakery items. read more

Fantastic banh mi.. super nice owners/ workers... place is super authentic.. felt like I was back in Vietnam.. great prices too

Delicious banh mi sandwiches, but I was very turned off by the insanely overwhelming smell of cigarettes and smoke from the 15 older men smoking outside gambling and playing cards. They had all their doors open so that the entire place could be filled with the disgusting smell of cigarettes and I can't help but think that all of this second hand smoke gets into all their food. I guess these men are locals and come here regularly to smoke and gamble, but I couldn't stand it. read more

The name had been around since little Saigon started but this one was added about 2 decades ago, mainly for to go or quick fast food place. Now it's more of seniors hangout for games or lottery with cheap decent coffee and they have outdoor patio overlooking GG street. You can heard the seniors loud conversation or being excited due to game of chess or checkers when you drove by (stopped for red light). The parking can be a hassle since it in a popular stores complex but they do have side parking so it can be okey. There are 2 bus stops on each side of street so most took the bus or walking from their place. Service is okey, not the nicest nor the worst but just what can I get you and okey next! This place is also well known for lottery since they won alot of small or medium prices both for scratcher & lottery. Plenty of decent foods, not great but not the worth, and okey prices. Got the sandwich and the bread is good, crunchy and soft inside...meats are okey. Big portion and very filling. Coffee is okey too. If you want something quick and easy going, this could be the place. read more

Superb viet ice coffee, reasonable prices of the sandwiches and pho noodles. Abundant selection of viet foods.

One of the best vegetarian banh mi sandwiches I've ever had - and for a good price too! They used a wheat gluten meat substitute, I asked for them to add egg and mayo. The bread was crispy crunchy on the outside and soft inside - perfect - even at 4pm! I wish I had taken a picture before I squished it but I promise it was incredible. read more

I heard a lot about their sandwiches and many people come and stay in line for that. However, I always come here for their green sponge cake. It's not too sweet and it is airy and have coconutty flavor, which I enjoy them so much. They also have grab and go papaya salad, buns, spring rolls, sausages, snacks, drinks, etc., which someday I would like try. The owners are very friendly and they try to assist you with your needs even though they don't speak perfect English. The restaurant is quite spacious and there are outdoor seats as well. From the counter top to the floor, everything is spotless, which is another reason I like about this place. read more

The Bun Bo Hue is so Salty, can't taste and no flavor of the soup, Will never come back here again. I would not recommend this place.

Wanted to grab a quick bite with my bf so we both ordered banh mi. The woman at the cash register seemed to be the only person working. She was kind but seemed to rush a lot. People just came up handed her money and waited while she would make the sandwiches, handle the $$, then immediately go back to the sandwiches. No hand washing in between or anything. To top it all off, we literally watched her cough into our sandwiches while preparing them with her tongue curled out and everything. She kept coughing the whole time as she was preparing our food and didn't even try to politely cover it. We decided to throw our food away. I'm not trying to get sick. We're both horrified. Stay clear of this place. read more

I only really stop here to grab breakfast and a Vietnamese iced coffee after waking up at the crack of dawn to fill up my tank at the Costco Gas next door (which opens up at 0530). This restaurant's posted hours says it opens at 0530 as well, but usually the doors are locked until closer to 0600. I typically get their Vietnamese iced coffee, which is strong and creamy - not overly sweet like some other places. I also pick up a serving of their xoi mang - sweet/savory steamed rice topped with chinese sausage (lap xuong), seasoned and shredded chicken. Despite getting it "fresh", sometimes when I get to work and finally dig in, I find the rice to be dry. Their Viet iced coffee holds its flavor well - even after an hour. Cash only. If you get there a little later in the morning, their entire patio is usually filled with patrons that smoke and play lotto (there's a few machines here suggesting that it's a popular place to get a ticket - if you're feeling lucky). Parking is in its own plaza, along the side of the cafe, and I guess the lot that anchors Office Depot. Never had an issue finding parking. read more

Excellent milk coffee: 10/10. Will go back for just this ASAP. TRIED THE #3 (pork) and the #9 (veggie). Both were nicely spicy with chopped jalapeños. The veggie option was delicious with some kind of well- flavored, juicy meat substitute. Skip the milk tea. Boba is hard and the tea is too creamy (I didn't think this was possible before). The best part is the lively, peaceful, playful open-air patio atmosphere. The traffic is not as noisy as you would expect. It is actually a lovely place to sip milk ice coffee any time of day. There are plenty of umbrellas for shade. read more

My mom and decided to try this bakery and coffee shop out since it was conveniently located next to the market that we had visited. The food and coffee was average, not terrible but not memorable either. I ordered the bbq pork sandwich and a Vietnamese ice coffee. My mom got a baguette, spring rolls and an ice coffee. The food did its job as we were both hungry but nothing memorable. I felt that the sandwich was a bit small compared to other similar places. I would go here again out of convenience but would definitely not go out of my way to drive here. By the way, parking was pretty packed since there were several businesses sharing a pretty small parking lot. read more

What can I say...I've been thinking about this sammy joint ever since first bite.

You can finish the Sammy satisfied w all the meat and fixings...not so much that you derailed any fitness plan. The portions are good and price is right. I'm a fan.

Song Long Bakery and Cafe, just next to the Starbucks, struck a chord with me. This unassuming establishment in the Dalat Market plaza has a charm all its own. The older Vietnamese men smoking cigarettes outside at 8am and playing games and chatting it up reminded me of being almost anywhere in Vietnam early in the morning while the streets are still cool, the roosters are crowing, and the buzz of the cities is just revving up. Inside Song Long you can smell the fresh bread baking and see the quick-moving line of people grabbing lunch or breakfast before they speed off to greet the day. On the counter they have spring rolls -both pork and shrimp- which are loaded with fresh veggies and herbs like Vietnamese basil and mint as well as several sticky rice offerings which are usually topped with some type of shredded meat (I am addicted to sticky rice). The vermicelli boxes are packed and look delish but I have not tried them yet. To the right of the counter they have the savory pies which are either chicken or pork and always quite good (another food that clearly has French roots but has been perfected by the Vietnamese). Above and behind the counter is the banh mi menu complete with descriptions and numbers to make ordering a piece of cake if you're worried about your pronunciation. Before you close your order out I would highly recommend you get at least a couple dollars worth of their sesame balls. And an iced coffee! **each time I've been here someone is eating a large bowl of bun boe hue which looks and smells amazing. Have yet to try. read more

They were rushing to close and go home, when I came. Asked for a Bbq Bahn Mi. It said $3.50 on menu, but charged $4 cuz that's how much it's priced on their systems. They need to make sure that's updated on the picture menu then.. Drinks were closed off with tables, so I didn't bother to get a drink. And whenever I asked a lady a question who was supposedly helping me, she would short answer and rush away to whatever else she can do instead of attending to me as a customer until I left. The sandwhich was good.. the customer service can use some training. read more

Food was just ok. Their banh canh lacks a bit of flavor. Their bo kho is average at best. The bread was unimpressive. Great thing was the pricing is on the cheaper side and fast service. read more

I drove by Song Long, Euclid this morning just to confirm what happened to the Bolsa Location. They confirmed it was closed. I will miss Song Long Bolsa. So Long Song Long! I only ordered the Cafe Sua Da at this locations. It was ok. For some reason it did not taste like I remember the Bolsa location tasted, but it was good. The cost was a straight 2 bucks. The staff was very nice and we had a conversation for at least 15 minutes about the old place. The inside could use a little updating. Also it would be great if they added an outside table or two so you can take 15 minutes to enjoy your coffee or a pastry. This location is very close off of the 22. I will keep it on my list for Cafe Sua Da spots, but do miss the other location dearly. read more

I was in nearby neighborhoods and since they open early, I drop by to get some porridge. The cashier greet me very warmly so that is a good new. But I was fairly disappointed at what I order. I ordered the pig organ porridge (cháo lòng). For $5 I got a very small amount of porridge and 2 pieces of pork blood. Not even enough to fill a bowl of soup. Nothing else. I wouldn't come back for food. I do like their coffee read more

I came here on a Tuesday evening after getting gas from Costco. This is my first visit and I was nervous with the reviews. The place is messy and on the dirty side. Men sitting at the table, playing some board game. Scratchers and Lotto is big here, too. I was hungry! Starving! I ordered 4 egg rolls ($0.50 each), bun Bo hue $8.50 and bun Rieu $8.00 to go. It took awhile to get the noodles but I ate the COLD COLD COLD egg rolls. I'm sure they are good hot, but these were cold, tough and I was bummed. I will come back to try the egg rolls only if they're fresh. The BBH was delicious! The broth wasn't too fatty or spicy. Lots of delicious ingredients and a decent portion. The BR is ok - nothing special. Ingredients were on the lighter side for the BR. Both were delightful - broth was flavorful, plenty of ingredients, fresh vegetables and good broth. I will return, recommend - be patient and know that you're going into a restaurant that isn't pristine/trendy, accepts cash only and you may have to wait a few extra minutes. read more

Came in today and ordered my food. I handed her my credit card and she says "no good" you have cash? I did have cash but wanted to use my card. I just used my CC in another place and knew it was good. I ask to try again and said "no good pay cash" I walked out with nothing. I couldn't tell if she was always rude or maybe doesn't like white ppl, but I think they are 100% cash business so they can dodge taxes. Very rude and dirty establishment. I've eaten there before and food was good last time, but I won't give them my business anymore. read more

They delivered our food to the wrong address across town. Nowhere near our house. Totally unsatisfied. Waste of money and TIME. WILL NEVER ORDER AGAIN. Food is as paid but never received.

Great hole in the wall banh mi restaurant! We got the special banh mi and grilled pork banh mi. The order was quick and was only $7 at $3.50 per banh mi. Both were very good and much better than Lee's Sandwiches. There was an ample amount of meat and veggies in both. I saw that they also had smoothies and other Vietnamese soups such as bun bo hue. They also have those ready to go rice and meat small trays. The restaurant is a little run down but pretty typical for smaller Vietnamese shops. It's the food that matters anyways. I'm always on the look out for more mom and pop banh mi restaurants! This one is a must try if you're in the area. read more

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Lisa J is one of my favorite girls. What a fun time to have breakfast with my Lisa J. Ordered grilled pork banh mi and ca phe sua da. Hot and fresh from the oven, the bread is soft and the crust is crispy. Tasty and delicious. The pork is perfectly seasoned and grilled. This place beats Mr Baguette and Lee's Sandwich anyday. Ca phe sua da: it is pretty strong and not too sweet. Free wifi and friendly worker. The plaza itself is pretty busy with cars going in and out non-stop. So Long Starbucks.....Song Long my love..... 4 stars!! I would probably give this place 5 stars if the meat quality was better. Song Long is yummylicious!! read more

After a long day of traveling I was famished! Also, I had a hankering for a Vietnamese sandwich, yelped in my area and this is what came up. The pictures looked decent... So I thought, why not? This cafe/ sandwich shop isn't a very nice one. Small tables, most of which are taken up by regulars not eating, NO A/C, overpriced for little amounts of food, and the boba is over cooked (yuck). I don't eat sandwiches very often, but when I do, I prefer it to be a banh mi. I love the fresh bread and the flavor of the Bbq pork. I can usually make 2 meals out of one sandwich, they are almost always so large. Not here. Small sandwiches for 3.50 a piece. So not worth it. Same deal with their spring rolls. Overpriced. My biggest gripe was the boba. It wasn't gelatinous. It was slimey and falling apart in my drink. Like it had been over cooked or maybe it was old. I know boba and it isn't supposed to have that consistency. I won't be back to this place and you should skip it too. read more

I like the photos that Yelpers posted. I extracted the positive info on the food and decided to try the beef stew for quick lunch. I have come by before just for the fresh baguettes and iced coffees - very quick in & out. Today - It's hot out and after a few "buy this & that" runs, need a bite. I was going to grab a sandwich and go but since there is no late lunch crowd, it's a good time for me to sit down for a bowl of soup. It's a tiny place like many donuts shop with a small gathering of old men having coffee at an outside table swapping war stories, I suspect. My simple beef stew with fresh bread came steamy. It was proportion size for their Vietnamese clientele or for a lite eater like me. Plus the price was right - $6. There were 15 items on that lite lunch menu - all less than $7. Look at the other pics - the place is jammed with goodies both sweets & savories for grab & good. I'll be back for more iced coffee, fresh baguettes, croissants, and to try someone those takeout mini-meals. read more

A must for any banh mi's lover!!!! My often choice here is a loaf of banh mi with hams. It is so yummy, and the price is cheap, which costs only $3.5 for a banh mi w/ hams. I used to be a regular customer at the Lee's Sandwiches, but not anymore, since I have figured out that here is my favorite place for my sandwiches. This little spot serves not only the takeout food, but also dine-in dishes. Last time, I got their spicy beef noodle soup, whose broth is very authentic Hue Style and tasty. It is a little bit spicy to my flavor, but it is understandable because the name is "spicy beef noodles." Thus, no blame!!!!!! ^^ For beverages, I love their iced Vietnamese condensed milk coffee!! Amazing! You can ask them to put extra condensed milk if you want to make it less strong. Anyway, this place also sells Mega lottery and other types. Wanna change your fortune? Come here, enjoy good and cheap food, get the difference to purchase one lottery ticket!!! Kkkk The restaurant is located all the way down of the plaza. It's behind Starbucks. Overall, the food is delicious, especially banh mi, and the price is so cheap! I will definitely going back! read more

I pass by this place all the time and there is typically a bunch of old Vietnamese guys sitting in front smoking and having coffee. Although I can't hear (and to a degree understand) their conversation I'm sure they are reciting the same old stories about their glory years. If you're Vietnamese, listening to old disgruntled Vietnmaese geezers talk is one of the most obnoxious things there is. They are worse then women when it comes to bitching and complaining about "the man" and how shitty the world is. Hey buddy, maybe it would be a better place if I didn't have to inhale your second hand smoke and you weren't wasting your time in front of a bakery, hummm? Bastards. But maybe one day I'll be like one of those old guys staring at younger girls coming in an out to purchase items. I just know that with my current demeanor I'll be doomed to resort to sitting in front of a bakery with an unlit cigarette in my hand and trying to look cool. Or maybe I'll just have my camera and take pictures of girls without their permission. How honorable and classy. So the star of the show here is the croissant, crusty on the outside yet soft and moist in the inside. The Vietnamese sandwich I got sandwich is lackluster and the coffee can use some work. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/OFzCN1BMVGdNdkPSQi2DDQ?select=evpWLmozDkFzqgLkxwBQPA But the croissant is something that really stands out. It's like going to a shoe store (Payless) and finding a pair that doesn't look like crap and will fall apart after a month of us. Hey man, don't bag on Payless. I used to get shoes there all the time when I was a kid. My mom wouldn't buy me shoes over $30... for good reason. My feet would grow so fast that I wouldn't be able to wear them within a year. I can remember my first $60+ pair of shoes. Life was good. Now I buy douche bag boot-like shoes from Robert Wayne and Mark Nason. It's classic over compensation for less-than-fabulous shoes while growing up. Song Long's Score - 88 Points read more

I've been to Song Long a few times before and it's your usual Asian sandwich shop. Today, we came here today and bought 2 sandwiches, soy, and a bagged of baked goods. The lady gave us the wrong sandwich order and we ordered 2 #11 not #1. She was arguing with us for a bit and took it back. After we got it back, she only switched 1 out. We had to go back to her and then tell her. Again, she was arguing with us and not wanting to give us our correct. We're paying customers and you're arguing with us about what we ordered. She was so rude. We get home and open up the bag of baked goods we bought. We discovered mold on it!! So gross!! Please reference the picture. We didn't want to go back to return it because we didn't want to deal with the rude lady, so we'll just lose out on our money. We will not be coming back here. read more

Parents new place to get baguettes for $1 each! Located in the same plaza as the Dalat supermarket. Parking is horrible here, but people come and go. There's always a whole bunch of older Vietnamese guys out in the patio smoking and playing Chinese chess too. They serve actual food too like bo kho (beef stew) and stuff like that. What we got: Iced Milk Coffee ($2.50): I'm not a fan of Vietnamese iced coffee, but BF drank it super quick...you're suppose to wait for the ice to melt so it's not as strong tasting.. Milk Tea ($2.50): too much ice in my opinion. Bigger cup than usual though, but it was on the sweeter side. Bo Bia Spring Rolls: comes with 2 rolls and a hoisin/peanut dipping sauce. Rolls ripped too easily and was on the thinner side. Service: Pretty quick since you just pick up what you want and pay for it at the cashier. read more

Only came here once and will NEVER COME BACK. Gf and I ordered two banh mis and the woman servicing us coughed into our orders. Right in front of us. No signs of remorse. We were disgusted by that and vowed to never visit again. We should have walked out the second we saw how unhygienic the place was. All the doors were wide open with people smoking outside and the odor traveled in and filled up the room. Plus, there were flies as well. Thinking about this place again makes me shudder. I don't understand how they've kept in business for this long... read more

Pros: The sandwiches were good. Authentic vietnamese sandwiches from what I could tell. Cons: The customer service is horrible. Most likely better if you're vietnamese and fluent, but english is nonexistent in this shop. Not only that, but their attitude completely pissed me off. No one helped me for a solid 20 minutes despite there being nobody else there. No one behind the counter and someone yelling at me from the seats to wait 5 minutes while a group took a picture or something. Even afterwards I had to struggle to put in an order and leave. I felt fucking annoyed and I'm pretty sure they got my order wrong. Conclusion: go with someone who can speak vietnamese I guess. read more

I come here all the time before class and they are super nice.. Always busy and I think they are 300x better than Lee's.. They usually have more meat than Lee's too..

The bread, make sure its the fresh baked out of the oven bread that you get. Whether it's the entire baguette or the individual loafs (3 for $1) its their bread that you want to get. I'm not a fan of their Banh Mi sandwiches, although they have stellar bread the fillings aren't up to par to make it complete. I would avoid their Banh Mi's here as there are better options in Little Saigon. However I would steer you to their fresh baked bread. It's cheap and fresh, but your own bread take it home and you will be a happy camper. They do serve other dishes, such as Chao (porridge) but again this spot would be your go to just get bread and Vietnamese coffee. Be ware of the congregating old men on the patio. They are harmless, but their second hand smoke and loud talking could annoy some customers. read more
