Banh Mi Saigon 168 — Restaurant in Rosemead

I remember getting some pretty good bánh mì to take on a flight several years ago, but didn’t know from which establishment. I came here today and it felt very familiar. I’m pretty certain this was the place.

We took advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free deal for the round bread bánh mì. We had the Saigon special, grilled pork and grilled beef. We actually asked for the meatball bánh mì, but they got our order wrong and gave us the grilled beef instead, which we didn’t realise until we got home.

The director of finance at my company is Vietnamese so we come here often. He enjoys the coffee, but recently the quality has dissipated slightly.

Just last week we picked up 4 of the coffee and had asked for blended ice, but after a 6 minute wait while they attempted to shatter the ice, it was deemed a complete failure.

The ice had been shattered into a dozen prices instead of a thousand prices, and despite this travesty, 2 of the 4 coffee we ordered were delivered only 3/4. This means they simply were too lazy too add enough ice, as all coffee here is...

Ordered three sandwiches at decent prices. Got the grilled pork, beef and veggie option which all tasted delicious and fresh. Would definitely return again to try other options. The place was clean and has other items on display to purchase but I'm not familiar with those and they weren't on my list to buy last time though I will try some next time.

No tables or chairs though, it's to-go only for those interested! Which was...
