Tea2Go boba and sandwich — Restaurant in Murrieta

I’ve downed hundreds of bánh mì in my lifetime, maybe in the 1000s so my expectations are sky-high. This grilled pork version landed somewhere between nostalgic comfort and “could be more.”

If you are looking for a banh mi fix this is a winner! Crispy bread flavorful pate well worth the price for the size of the sandwich.

Would love to see this place thrive year after year as the food speaks for itself. The matcha brown sugar oat milk is not only visually pleasing but...

All of the items we ordered are delicious. The ordering process is quick and customer service is always a pleasure. In addition to the food from the catering menu, we love the boba, Vietnamese coffee, bahn mi, and vermicelli. The food is flavorful, the portion size is generous, and quality is consistent.
