“The banh mi at Banh Mi My Tho are at the top of the San Gabriel Valley line-up, thanks to their hard-to-find ratio of pickled vegetables to meat to bread; they don't skimp here, which is pivotal.”
“It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was the closest to perfection I've encountered here in Los Angeles.”
“The #2 with thick slices of ham, meat loaf, and head cheese is our go-to, ideally with extra mayo and paté to lubricate the crusty bread.”
“The crackly, house-baked baguettes are filled with rich pate, salty meats, and a mountain of pickled carrots and daikon that they spill out with every bite.”
“Literally translating to "sizzling cake," the namesake dish of Banh Xeo Quan is a crepe-like delicacy originally from southern Vietnam.”
“A meal at Chinatown's Sage Blossom—the bigger, better sibling of Blossom in Santa Monica—is therapeutic.”
“The beef is a divinely marinated cut of filet mignon that oozes into the mayo against the soft interior of the baguette.”
“Relative newcomers on Garvey Avenue, the owners of Bánh Cuốn Hương Bắc are betting that dependably executing a few dishes well will attract a steady crowd.”
“Simmered for 72 hours (versus just 12 to 16 at other spots), Camp Pho's namesake soup showcases the deeper, funkier but no less delicious side of Vietnam's national dish.”
“The banh mi from Saigon's Bakery & Sandwiches are so delicious that weathered street gentlemen wake up from their pavement slumbers to come for lunch.”
