"There’s a reason why people in slides and sweats line up at this Silver Lake walk-up window at all hours of the day—there’s never a bad time to pick up a Bé Ù bánh mì. The lemongrass chicken and roasted pork sandwiches nail a 50/50 balance of juicy meat and pickled veggies. We’re also fans of the bánh mì dip, their french dip spin with soft braised pork belly, a jammy egg, and au jus. Expect to find a crowd scarfing sandwiches down on the plant-covered side patio while chihuahuas circle the tables waiting for sandwich scraps." - Cathy Park
"Summer rolls here, with greens and protein wrapped in a delicate rice paper, have been the answer to my lunchtime cravings. My favorite version is the one with lemongrass pork, but the tofu is a close second (and sometimes my go-to). The roll is stuffed until almost bursting with fresh herbs, cucumber, mango, rice noodles, and spring lettuce, and served with a thick peanut dipping sauce." - Eater Staff
"Virgil Village Vietnamese restaurant Bé Ù is still operating on a takeout-only model. Head over for banh mi sandwiches, available with lemongrass chicken, pork, or beef, alongside patê, pickled radish and carrots, jalapeños, cilantro, and aioli. Vegetarians can pick from the tofu banh mi or the egg-topped bánh mì ốp la. The rest of the menu spans dishes like popcorn chicken, lemongrass fish sauce wings, and chicken rice porridge. Place an order in advance to skip the on-site wait. Order pick-up directly from Bé Ù or delivery through DoorDash." - Rebecca Roland
"Weekends were made for porridge at Bé Ù. The gluten-free chicken rice porridge with homemade stock, shredded chicken, scallions, cilantro, fried shallots, and black pepper makes for a cold-weather (and cold season) pick-me-up. Diners might also find, depending on the season, Chef Uyên Lê’s Vietnamese vegan chao, which begins with homemade vegetable stock and plenty of grilled mushrooms. Check Instagram for the latest weekend specials." - Eater Staff
"Open to provide free meals to fire evacuees and first responders." - Rebecca Roland
