Crispy Pork Belly on Charcoal Baguette
Finally got to visit this place! My Facebook feed has been nagging me for 3 days! I ordered a Crispy Belly banh mi on a charcoal baguette. The service was really great, no problems with ordering (spoke the same language, English). The place was clean (inside), outside is a whole other story. This section of Beach Boulevard is notorious for homelessness. The banh mi itself was underwhelming; it was good but the charcoal baguette seems to have an aftertaste. The crispy belly was not crispy but the veggies inside were. The banh mi was a little steep too, over $8 but nowadays everything pretty much is!
This is my favorite place to get banh mi. They have a crispy pork one that is DELICIOUS and I haven't found anything else like it. The man who I always helps me is very nice, and remembered me when I came back months after I moved away from the area. Highly recommend, I wish I still lived near there just so I could have Banh Mi Belly banh mi.

Crispy Pork Belly on Charcoal Baguette
I came back the second time to tell the owner the meat he served last time was old. I gave him a chance to make it good this time. Today the bread is days old. It all fell apart when I bite it.
I don’t recommend this store! There are much better stores just a few minutes driving away

House Special
Had a pork belly banh mi with extra pate and a Vietnamese iced coffee at 8 am. The bread was crispy and fresh; the pork belly had a delightful chewy rind that I will be back for, and the pate had a buttery subtone. The iced coffee was creamy and sweet. Service was prompt and friendly. The only minus was that it was expensive (compared to the banh mi I was used to in SGV). Will be back!
