Good food, broth is brothing but needs more of those lil star seasoning. Only thing to work on… maybe hygiene All your workers using the restroom go to the bathroom with their apron…

This is a Vietnamese sandwich, pho and Chinese food outlet with a good selection of teas and boba drinks. Banh mi sandwich was good except their baguette were not as crispy and fluffy as others. Yangzhou fried rice was very good. I think you get a good choice of Vietnamese dishes and Asian drinks at a decent affordable prices and good portions. Parking is plenty in the rear of the shop. They offer order 2 get 1 free deal for Banh mi.

Great spot for breakfast – they are open earlier then the nearby bahn mi places! Got the combo and 5 eggrolls the egg rolls were very good and so was the bahn mi except the day I visited they didn’t add cilantro. Or is this typical of this place? Nonetheless, I am a fan of cilantro so I was a bit bummed my sando didn’t come with it. The service was fast and friendly ambiance that of an asian café and it was very clean inside for being open at 7am they have a ton of workers! Smell of fresh baguettes when you walk in! I should’ve read the sign bogo on milk tea! Will come back for that next time

I was craving banh mi and decided to drop by. They had the buy 2 get 1 free deal on the banh mi so I ended up getting 3. Each one costs $7. I also got the wonton noodle soup for $6.50 and the combo house special pho for $12.50. Bun rieu was delish for $9. They had a 15% off promo going on, which was great. They also had a bogo boba deal going on. You can pay with a credit card if you spend at least $10 for no charge. However, if you use a discovery or Amex card, they charge you a $1.50 fee. I got in line, paid, waited a bit, and got my order. They use baguette bread and don't use as much meat like in the past; it's not as fulfilling when you eat 1. At least this location uses pate, unlike the other location I went to a few weeks ago. Out the door it cost $17 something. They have a small parking lot, but it gets packed. People come and go quick though.

Good foods as always not that many choices for dessert but to there are still boba to teas. Workers are tired you can see that. Vietnamese management stile. It means one work hard the others sitting there or doing nothing but don't care about customers waiting in long line but don't blame the cashier he or she is the one working hard

Food is solid here. I've been here a few times and it was totally fine! Unfortunately one time I got their braised meat in their fridge section and the next day I took it out of my fridge and I opened it - It had mold :(

This Banh Mi Che Cali is located on Valley Blvd. and 7th Street in Alhambra. We've been there before to get to go sometimes because it was casual and cheap, like Vietnamese fast food. The price is low (they even have 13% off right now), but don't expect much in terms of quality. It looks brighter and cleaner after the renovation, but it's still unorganized, busy, and crowded. They always have a discount on Banh Mi (short baguette), such as buy 2 get 1 free, but sometimes we order their pre-packaged steamed vermicelli, desserts, etc. I didn't like their Bánh cuốn (Vietnamese steamed rice rolls) because they didn't have much filling inside, such as pork or mushrooms, and the rice rolls were not smooth enough. I ordered their Bún riêu (Vietnamese rice noodle soup, with soup flavored with tomatoes, shrimp paste, fish sauce, meatballs, and a meat broth), and it was mediocre. The taste was lacking in flavor, and the cabbage was bitter. Their banh mi tasted okay compared to other food. When I got my receipt, it didn't show my order number at the bottom of the receipt, but other customers had the order number on their receipts. I had to ask the cashier, and she showed me there's a tiny number on the receipt for my order. Many people waited for their orders for a while, and there's always a long queue there. Overall, it was a mediocre place for casual Vietnamese food, but it was very economical.

They swipe the table clean and let all the small leftovers drop to the floor. They expect the customers to squish little food pieces and vegetables with the customers shoes.

I traveled to LA and used uber eat to ordered my food. On the Uber app, the menu was very confused. They listed several categories that requires customer to selected. For example, You need to select 4 different types noodles for your soup. Example: pho noodle, egg noodles, large vermicelli Noodle, or large Flat noodle. Then No spicy, medium spicy, or Very spicy. Then choose your own Veggies, however, for the veggies there is $.75 extra fee for bean sprout, onions , cola trời , Basil, cilantro. It’s supper confusing because I never see any Vietnamese restaurants requisite choose tbe noodles for the Beef Stew Soup, Phở, and Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (bun Bo hue) . They never asked customer to pick the vegetable for the special soup,which they should know what type of noodle supposed to go with what special noodle soup. They would never ask what type of vegetable to pick to eat with that special type of soup. Because of the way they expected me to pick on their menu made me think they don’t provide bean sprout and I have to pick a type of noodle for each type of soup, so I paid more to get bean sprout to eat with the Bavitemsmse e eerof the bean sprout for my soups, and picked my own noodle. At the time my food arrived, there was a bag of vegetable and beans sprout was packed along with each order of soup. No lemon to eat the beef stew soup . No utensils so how could we eat our soup? The chicken wing came with a very very tiny cup of ranch. The beef stew soup came with a lot of white radish and carrot. Very little beef and the soup tasted bad. It’s not even close to the traditional Vietnamese beef stew. The Spicy Beef Noodle soup doesn’t smell and tasty like Bun Bo Hue and it’s not very spicy as requested. I’m a person who eat less salt and very less potassium but I still need to put a little Salt into the soup to make it taste a bit better. No tasted of shrimp sauce ingredient and cooked lemon grass inside the soup. Pho soup doesn’t smell like the tradition Pho broth. In concludes: its not worth it to buy the food here. No utensil to eat food if you are a traveler, not tastty, paid extra money to buy extra bean sprout for nothing. .

Careful of the pre-prepared food, I ended up getting food poisoning- the worst I’ve experienced in decades. I would not recommend going here unless you’re really in a pinch, the quality of the food is low but at least the price matches. It’s just a question of whether the risk is worth it or not. Lots of people here always, but I would not go out of my way to try this place.

Attention everyone ‼️ Cashiers may overcharge you. Some food items on the receipt don't have a detailed breakdown of the cost, only a total price. I bought four boxes of coupons, but the receipt didn't show the price per box. While waiting to pick up my food, I asked a server how much a box of coupons cost. No one told me! It's ridiculous! I asked another server, but they were evasive and gave vague answers, which seemed suspicious! The servers all pretended to be busy, saying their English wasn't good, and finally told me I had to check with the cashier. I asked the cashier, and she told me it cost 8 dollars per box, with three coupons in each box. However, I've always only bought boxes with two coupons; I've never seen three coupons in a box. I told her I overpaid, as the price for two coupons is different from three. She refunded me, but I felt very uncomfortable and won't go there again. I believe many people will fall for this scam. Everyone should verify the price of what they buy before purchasing.

The workers are rude. No customer service at all. I thought after reopening they would change. I ordered 2 baguettes and other items. The cashier took my money and didn't say anything. When my order arrived there was no baguettes. I tried to get an employee to ask where my baguettes were. They all ignored me. Finally they gave me a couple of rolls instead of baguettes. Ill never go there again. The reason I went there today was because New Hoa Thai on Garvey was closed till tomorrow.

Called the restaurant multiple times and phone was not answered. I too drove to restaurants and arrived by 840 and restaurant was closed. Why say 9pm if they won't be open till that time. Hours should be change to 830. That's time and gas. So much for wanting a delicious warm meal.

Even though it’s 15% off but quality is low: 1. Content in the bowl is so little like leftovers 2. meatball is still frozen inside… eww 3. Bean sprouts looks old & brown I’d spend a few extra bucks and go somewhere else for decent pho. Ruined my day really..:(
