Okay first of all, I am seeing mixed photo posting for this yelp location's banh mi che cali that got me a bit confused. THERES ANOTHER BANH MI CHE CALI A MILE DOWN ON ROSEMEAD. Please don't confuse this one with that one! This one is located by Orange Ave in Monterey Park!

I been coming here since they first opened in 2009-10 (?) I cant even keep track anymore. Banh Mi Che Cali, everyone knows to come here for their good value of food for buck. Well, at least that's how they started. However as the years go on, their prices kept increasing. They just rebranded their boba selections, and named it Tamo or something along the line, marking their drinks to be $6 rather than previously $3-4.

Not to mention, their food price have gone up as well but their quality is still the same. Although they do have good bento kind of selection (small boxed lunch for you to take on the go) thats ~$5.

They were originally really clean, but it seemed like since opening a few years back, they haven't done much up keep to keep it clean so now its a bit underkept.

Their banh mi is still buy 2 get 1, and some boba selection is still buy one get one free, but just more expensive. Their boba isn't really honey boba, they cook it differently that it isn't sweet, and kind of ruins the taste. .I used to come here for their cheap boba, but now I am not so sure.

I only come here for a quick food fix, and convenience because its right by my house and they have food premade at the counter, but otherwise its pretty bad. Also customer service sucks, but then again which Asian place have good customer service am I right?

But hey at least they got their own parking lot so you aren't fighting a bunch of people either for parking.
