"The best bánh mì in all of Los Angeles is at Hue Thai in Rosemead, which just happens to be on the road to Palm Springs. For approximately $6, the bánh mì đặc biệt combines a supreme ratio of pickled vegetables, cold cuts, and pate placed into a crisp baguette baked on the premises. It’s delicious enough to eat right away, with shards of crust flying all over one’s car seat, or a bit later when hunger pangs strike. There are a few tables in the dining room, but this is also a sandwich that travels pretty well if needing to get back on the road. Just remember to bring cash, Hue Thai is cash-only." - Mona Holmes
"This classic Vietnamese deli makes a superlative bánh mì. The bread, impeccably fresh and produced in-house at all hours of the day, provides an impressive canvas for scratch-made pickles, pate, bologna, and head cheese." - Cathy Chaplin
"Look past the shops’s aging facade and bare-bones decor to find LA’s best bánh mì đặc biệt. Constructed on a loaf of house-baked bread that’s warmed to order, the sandwich is deftly smeared with scratch-made pork pate and loaded with a trio of cold cuts, including plenty of cartilage-heavy head cheese." - Cathy Chaplin
"Stop by the hard-to-find Hue Thai in Rosemead for the best bánh mì in all of Los Angeles. For approximately $6, the bánh mì đặc biệt combines a supreme ratio of pickled vegetables, cold cuts, and pate placed into a crisp baguette baked on the premises. It’s delicious enough to eat right away, with shards of crust flying all over one’s car seat, or a bit later when hunger pangs strike. Note: this spot is cash-only." - Mona Holmes
"In Rosemead lies perhaps the city’s best banh mi spot, serving the platonic ratio of ingredients stuffed into a bread baked on the premises, with a choice of French roll or light baguette. Staff recommends the latter for a lighter crispness. With meaty paté, head cheese, ham, chả lụa (steamed pork sausage), and crisp pickled vegetables with the intense spice of fresh jalapeño and bright cilantro, this sandwich has it all." - Eater Staff
