that viet coffee absolutely floored me, but the bánh mì dragged it from a perfect score. the coffee tasted like a melted caramelised tirmaisu in a cup: indulgently creamy, thick, not too sweet, but generally on the lighter end on actual coffee strength, so not for caffiene chasers ☝️🙂 the combination bánh mì, option 1, was.. meh: very bready, could use more pickled veg, and the meat slices were more of a "polite suggestion of flavour" than the rich-meaty flavours i was expecting. i'm fully hooked on their coffee, but not sure on the bánh mìs.. yet!

I had the vegetarian sandwich. It came with tofu and mushroom too, which seemed to be cooked in curry sauce and was very juicy and tasty! The cashier who took my order was polite and helpful. Looks like a busy place. Even though we ordered from the counter, there's a seating area. Will be back to try more.

The best Vietnamese banh my in CA so far. The bread is authentic and so good. The staffs are friendly and the store is nice and clean. Great price for dessert and small bite dish too.

Very fast turnaround time for their drinks. Very sweet and polite crew. Love the food. Try their new fish sauce glazed crispy chicken sandwich!

Delicious, huge banh mi! We got the lomo saltado and pork belly and saltado was the favorite. The veggie spring rolls were also tasty and fresh. They bake their bread in-house and it is amazing. The Thai iced tea was not too sweet. Just how I like it. Thank you for the friendly service, too. We will be back.

They make a great crispy pork belly banh mi at Pickle!! My biggest complaint is that there weren't enough pickled veggies in the sandwich, and I saw that other reviews mentioned the veggies aren't pickled enough. Even though pickles were scarce, I still loved the banh mi and will definitely come back again! Maybe I'll just ask for extra pickles next time!

The quality of the offerings at this establishment is consistently impressive. The sandwiches are generously sized, making them perfect for sharing between two people. Each bite of the sandwich is filled with rich flavors, showcasing a thoughtful combination of ingredients that truly enhances the overall taste experience.

What a fantastic sandwich! This thing is huge and it's fairly priced. I get why they added "pickle" in their name because they're very generous with it- I love the crunch with every bite. The sauce was surprisingly sweeter than I expected, but, all the flavors had a wonderful balance. I also appreciate that I can bite into the bread without it crumbling all over my shirt. This usually indicates that the bread is good quality and/or it wasn't overly toasted. This rating is solely on the sandwich. I didn't dine-in because it was too hot inside. I'd recommend taking your food to-go for this place.

Any banh mi spot that lets you add fried eggs to any banh mi is at least solid in my books. I was looking for a good banh mi spot that's closer to the South Bay than Westminster. I got the tumeric fish and the grilled pork with 2 fried eggs added in on separate days. Tumeric Fish Banh Mi: This was my first time having a fish banh mi and I loved it. Since it's a premium banh mi, they use pickled slaw instead of the pickled carrots and daikon that I prefer. Grilled Pork w/ 2 fried eggs: I had the fried eggs added in at an extra $2.5. I absolutely loved it. The egg yolk nicely coated the inside. The pork was great. I would have added pate next time.

Y'all... The reviews and experience definitely lived up to the hype -- the banh mi was absolutely incredible. Service was exceptional. The banh mi was bursting with flavor. Although I usually try to avoid pork, I couldn't resist trying the crispy pork -- it was delicious. The special banh mi was also outstanding. Prices range from $8 for the sandwiches to $10 for the premium options. Vietnamese coffee was just as good. Mom and I rated it 5/5. Restroom available, and there's plenty of parking.

Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 My favorite 1) BBQ pork 2) Crispy pork 3) Cold cut combination 4) Meatballs 5) Lemongrass Alright.... After coming here handful of times. I give this place the crown for best Banh mi I ever had but you have to sit down and eat there right away. I was torn between BBQ Pork and crispy pork to give number one spot. At the end I just have to factor in the fact that crispy pork is few dollars more, I just bump it down to 2. It will be great if I can make half and half. That will be perfect solution to taste everything. I wish they open another store in SGV.

I ordered crispy pork belly banh mi. It was delicious to the max. The meat is tender with right amount of seasoning and it tastes delicious. The ladies who are working there are nice and friendly with smiles. The orders came out quick after we ordered them. I also had their fried egg roll and it was good with crunchiness and a lot of meat inside. Their grilled pork banh mi is also delicious with tender meats and good seasonings. Their bread tastes freshly baked with soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. This place is clean and well maintained. Highly recommended!

Pickle Banh Mi is the best option for Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches and Vietnamese Spring Rolls in Long Beach. Their spring rolls are packed with your meat of choice, herbs, and has a subtle rolled egg roll wrapper on the inside for crispiness. I bought three of their spring rolls on my most recent visit: grilled pork, pork and shrimp, and crispy pork belly. Also don't sleep on the flavor-packed sauces, which were different for each spring roll! My wife's favorite is the pork and shrimp spring roll as it's a classic Vietnamese spring roll with nice balance. I prefer the grilled pork spring roll as I love the flavor of the pork; however, the small amount of crispy bits on the pork belly spring roll is also very good. Their banh mi sandwiches are also very good. If you like grilled pork and pork belly, these are some of the top sellers. I got these meats in the spring rolls, so I opted for their lomo saltado banh mi. In my previous visit, I went with their chargrilled pork banh mi and I think that's that's what I would recommend. The lomo saltado banh mi has a generous amount of filet mignon beef; however, the fries and raw bell pepper and the absence of the key aji pepper sauce makes the sandwich less successful in filling my cravings. Make no mistake. I finished my sandwich and it was good. Overall, I do think their banh mi sandwiches are great because of their house made, flaky breads, because they're packed with delicious meat, and they're generously loaded with veggies and flavor. Pickle Banh Mi also has rice dishes and other appetizers, but I only have two stomachs (if you factor in my wife); however, it gives me more reason to keep coming back. Overall, this shop is a great addition to Long Beach and it is the best option for Banh Mi in our city.

Just found my go to Banh Mi spot! The sandwiches were delicious and a great portion. The service was fast and friendly and there's a good variety of items to choose from without feeling overwhelmed. The seating inside is limited, but sandwiches are great to go also. I also got the Viet Iced Coffee which was really good as well!

Came here for banh mi after our friend recommended it. Our group ordered the pate so (very flaky and crispy), fried chicken banh mi, crispy pork belly, crispy turmeric fish, and lemongrass beef. For drink I ordered the strawberry green tea which was fresh and flavorful. Our food came out quickly and everything tastes great! They do not skimp on their portions, and I loved the fish sauce glaze on my fried chicken. Service was friendly as well. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area.

Love their lemongrass beef banh mi sandwiches! I have been coming here for years. If you order ahead for a large group, you can pick up your order in a reasonable amount of time. If you're there during the lunch rush, you'll probably be waiting longer. For the price, it's great. I can eat half the sandwich and save the rest for later.

I tried their new Fish Sauce Fried Chicken Banh Mi! You can't see it under the mountain of veggies, but there is a lot of delicious fried chicken in this sandwich. It is umami, savory, sweet, fatty, and is perfectly cut by the fresh veggies and pickles. Their baguettes are textbook-- crispy on the outside, chewy and fluffy on the inside with strong flavors of butter and yeast.  Everyone in Long Beach has sung their praises about Pickle for a long time, and it is all well deserved. Come check them out!

Recently had the chance to check out Pickle Banh Mi and it was so delicious! Best Banh Mi spot in Long Beach i'd have to say! Friendly customer service and wait was quick. Love that they provide a free charging station for your phones. I got the Lemongrass Beef banh mi + Grilled Pork banh mi & Grilled Pork spring rolls -- everything was delicious and will definitely be coming back!

My first impression of this place was that it was really dirty. The dining area was unkempt, with trash on the floor and crumbs on the tables. The glass doors had smudges and fingerprints all over them, and the restroom was filthy. It seems like nobody is assigned to keep the dining area clean. The restaurant was also uncomfortably hot, even with only a few tables. The air felt cooler outside whenever someone opened the door. One positive note was the self-serve iced water station, which was much-needed during this heat wave. Despite the unkempt dining area, I was willing to give the food a shot. I ordered the crispy pork belly banh mi based on a recommendation, but the person taking my order seemed distracted. I asked for a recommendation and told him my order was for here, but he ended up charging me for two sandwiches--the pork belly and the grilled pork--and packed both to go. I had to call a friend to help me eat all that food! It was an expensive and frustrating mistake. Also, be prepared for a "guilt tip" when you pay by card. As for the sandwich, it was worth the mess and the mix-up. The banh mi here is delicious. At around $8-$10, it might seem a little high for some accustomed to lower prices for banh mi, but in this economy, it's still a steal compared to the $15-$25 sandwiches you'll find at other places in LA. The combination of crispy pork belly, fresh pickled vegetables, heat from the chili, and crusty baguette was a flavor explosion. It was more satisfying than any sandwich I recently had from a popular Italian deli in Pasadena. Ultimately, you have to decide if the incredible banh mi is worth dealing with the lack of cleanliness and careless service. It's kind a joke when you see a cluttered restaurant, kids doing homework or staff eating at the dining area or experience cold service, you know the food is going to be great at an Asian restaurant. The food is a definite five stars, but the atmosphere and service bring the rating down. You can always take your sandwich as take away for home, office ... or the beach. It's a gamble on whether the kitchen is cleaner than the dining area.

Editing my original review: I had initially rated this 2 stars because of an experience I had while drinking my Jasmine Milk tea with boba. I had experienced sharp pieces of plastic in my drink when drinking, and had no idea how that got in there. I was afraid I would accidentally swallow them and scratch up my throat. Upon pouring out the rest of the drink that I stopped myself from finishing, I inspected the cup and realized the plastic pieces had come from the plastic lid (the straw hole). The pieces that mark the "X" for the hole had broken off into the drink. This is dangerous because many people who order a drink with boba will be puncturing their straws through this hole and may experience the same thing I had. A suggestion to possibly avoid any other occurrences would be to start using a sealer for drinks instead of the plastic lids that could break upon poking the straw through. This may be a safer option and ensure plastic shards don't break off into any other's drinks.

This place has been on my radar for a over a year. I'm a basic banh mi gal but I opted for the fried chicken with fish sauce. Best banh mi ever. This sandwich is pretty stuffed why is I think it requires a rubber band to hold it together? Their staff is amazing too. I'm def going back!

I've been here once before for the crispy pork belly banh mi. I liked it, but wasn't a fan of that creamy sauce in it. I like my banh mi dry... no sauce or soggy bread (that's my pet peeve). This time I tried the grilled pork banh mi, nem and banh bao and their Vietnamese milk coffee. A few things about other reviewers commenting- I agree the pickled veggies could be more pickled but this didn't bother me. Also, the Vietnamese coffee isn't the traditional kind but it's because it's a "milk tea". This was fine with me- obviously more mild than Lee's or Da Vien so if you're looking for that crack feeling you should get it there LOL. You get a lot of bang for your buck here. The banh mi is made fresh and it shows. It's perfect. I feel like all their food/ingredients taste fresh... which is refreshing compared to other places. I also appreciate their variety of food and drinks. You can get your Vietnamese food fix without having to go to a hole in the wall or restaurant- it's quick easy and delish! The area specifically, I didn't find any problems with it. Some mentioned it being in a not so nice area... my only complaint would be that I wish it had a drive thru... for convenience. I'll definitely be back! It won't be my last time here. Next on my list is to try their banh mi Dac biet and maybe another dish- and their pineapple drink!

I'm here probably every other week...or rather, I have a banh mi from here every other week. If I'm not stopping by, then it is my mom who stops by here for me to pick up some banh mi. Whenever my mom walks in the door and her usual server is at the register, they already know what she'll ask and just punches in her order, so I guess I can say my mom is a regular (and I am by extension!) I've never had a bad manh mi from here. My typical order is a #1 Combo with extra meat and extra jalapeno. I've also tried #4, and #12, and they are also super delicious. #4 is the BBQ pork, and #12 is the crispy pork belly. The spring rolls are also freshly made and super delicious. I would recommend the pork sausage spring roll (since that one is my favorite), but the others are also good too! The sausage is freshly grilled, and it has a bit sweet and salty taste to it. It pairs well with the nice crispy crunch you get from the fried egg roll wrappers. However, if you don't like pork sausages, then the pork belly and the pork+shrimp spring rolls are also good choices. The spring rolls are filling but don't feel too heavy, so if you aren't too hungry and just want a quick bite, then the spring rolls are worth a try! Usually, I take everything to go, but there is some indoor seating. However, if you go during the busy lunchtime, you may not have anywhere to sit as the shop is a bit small. I would also say that the parking lot is also small, so you may not find parking if it is busy. I'd definitely say that if you are in the area, it is worth stopping by!

It's really not a surprise that Pickle Banh Mi (in particular this location) ends up on so many end-of-the-year lists. I've been going to this particular spot for sandwiches since a kid, before it was Pickle Banh Mi--it's been a handful of different Banh Mi places since the original closed down, which was a community favorite, but glad to see such a great shop finally sticking around at this location. It really does feel like it's part of the Cambodia Town community on Anaheim. That being said, I finally got a chance to try their Lomo Saltado Banh Mi--a really interesting concept of a modern fusion sandwich. It was filled with a great Lomo Saltado flavor, a nice mix of sauce, steak, fries, and bell peppers with your usual Banh Mi toppings. It really did feel packed as a sandwich (but it is messy, so just keep that in mind!) I'll never forget the first time I had Lomo Saltado. It was at another Vietnamese restaurant when I had a free weekday. I took my parents who were not quite sure of what to think of it at first. However, as soon as my mom ate it with some rice, she understood the hype. I'll never forget that day not because of the Lomo Saltado, but because we picked the largest mango we've ever seen from our tree that day. It was bigger than my head! It fed us enough mango for a week. Anyways, the Lomo Saltado Banh Mi brought me back to that great day. So, I'd definitely be back here to try their other sandwiches. Their menu is quite big so there's plenty of things to try here and they all look great!

This was so easy to find and a great spot to stop at for lunch. I placed an order online and it was ready as expected. I ordered the shrimp and pork rolls, the grilled pork banh Mi, and thai tea. It was so fresh and light, and it was a perfect lunch. The sauce was perfectly seasoned too. The meat and shrimp were cooked well too. I enjoyed the food. I also appreciated the friendly service when I arrived. It was clean and open. It was very welcoming upon entering. It also had plenty of parking.

Still my favorite Banh Mi spot in So Cal. Fresh bread, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Crisp, fresh vegetables. Savory pate and cold cuts. Proportions and textures are perfectly balanced. Fast and friendly service. Great prices. I have no negatives about this place.

I had the pleasure of trying pickle banh mi co and it did not disappoint. They were nice enough to accommodate me with pork free options and I don't pertain to pork. So I got the fried chicken banh mi which was new and their FLAVORFUL chicken curry. Dipping the baguette into the curry is definitely an experience I'd take people to come try. The fried chicken banh mi also pretty good as well paired with the curry. Thank you! 8. Mukbang up @maarrjack

Great banh mi spot to take to go or eat inside. We checked out Pickle banh mi after going to the Long Beach vintage market. There's parking in the plaza, service is friendly and quick, and prices are super reasonable at $8-10 per banh mi for a huge portion. we got the grilled pork banh mi and I saved half of mine for another meal. The bread was fresh with a crispy outside and fluffy inside We'll be back to try the appetizers, hot food, and drinks next time!

So I don't really like Banh Mi but one day I was re collecting this sandwich my moms friend bought me when I was younger and was craving it! When I looked on yelp and saw this spot I knew it was what I wanted, got the classic and maybe went too fast on my tasting adventure but it was pretty good! I did take out the bacon or whatever the red meat was but everything else was tasty! Service was quick but it was pretty busy! I also got a Thai tea and it was good but looked very orange? lol it was good though

$10 for a huge sandwich, yes please! I drive by multiple times a day, and the day finally came to break down and try it. Omg, 5* all the way. Small parking lot shared with other businesses is the only downside. For some reason, I thought this was mostly a take out spot. It was actually much bigger of a restaurant and has a decent amount of seating. I chose takeout and once I paid for my order, I was directed to a waiting area with phone chargers. Bonus points!!! As a 1st timer, the menu was a little overwhelming. Luckily, I just asked the gentleman helping me what I should try 1st and pork belly was suggested. Perfect suggestion! Can't wait to return and explore more of the menu.

The good: My neighbor recommended this bánh mi place to me and was kind enough to buy a few of their items for my to try. Their paper wraps for their sandwiches were trendy and convenient because they were a sleeve rather than a wrap. So, you could eat it out of the sleeve and have it all be contained. Their sandwiches are huge! This was probably the biggest banh mi I've had. I had the nem nuong rolls and really enjoyed these. The proportion of nem and vegetables were great and the Vietnamese herbs added a refreshing flavor. I tried the thit nguoi banh mi and the pork belly. I liked how the nem were cut into rectangular shapes and how nicely wrapped they were. The dipping sauce was also nice and I enjoyed it more than Brodard's viscous orange sauce. The bad: I wish the pickled vegetables were more sour. The baguette was good but not as light, airy and crispy as other banh mi baguettes I've had. The interesting: Don't confuse this with Mr. Pickles sandwich shop (non-Vietnamese sandwiches).

Stopped by to grab lunch today after seeing recommendations on Facebook and was not disappointed. We ordered.. #1 Combination bahn mi, the baguette was tasty. The bread didn't overwhelm the sandwich and had the right amount of crisp. they didn't skimp on the meat. The pate was mild in my opinion, I am used to stronger tasting pate. Overall very yummy sandwhich #16 filet mingon lomo saltado bahn mi , boyfriend said the meat was delicious and the sauce it was paired with perfect in the sandwich Also order the Pork spring rolls and nem chua and both yummy. We ordered to go , but there is a small dining area to eat inside. For a Sunday the wait to get our food after paying wasn't bad and there were lots of customers coming and going. All staff members were very friendly and yes would definitely go back .

My favorite restaurant in Long Beach! Used to going at least once a week, and Sally and Sean are used to me, my husband, and best friend coming in after our Sunday kickball games. Always so nice to see them in and to chat with us whenever they have a moment!! What else can I say--literally everything on the menu is DELICIOUS, though I'm partial to a thick cut pork banh mi, crispy pork belly spring rolls, and shrimp and pork spring rolls. (But that fried chicken banh mi with fish sauce is also die for!!). I could literally eat their spring rolls every day. Such a gem to have in Long Beach, and I couldn't recommend Pickle Banh Mi higher! If you're reading this, go get a sandwich there ASAP!!

TWO THINGS FIRST! 1. never lower your prices 2. please never close! This is absolutely the best banh mi I've ever had hands down. I work in Long Beach and my co workers and I were crushed that our usual banh mi dealer a block from us stopped selling them. I looked around for the next closest spot and this place showed up. I drove down after work to "test the merch" and I can't believe what I tasted. It was like I've finally eaten what a banh mi is supposed to taste like. The bread was not thick, but was in appearance. It was fluffy inside and had a crisp crunch on the outside without being dry. The greens were plentiful, the multiple cucumber slices got me. I NEVER get enough cucumber, but this time I did. The shining star was the grilled pork inside. It literally tasted like it was just cooked over a charcoal grill. I could literally taste the smoke. The cashier was nice and accommodating when I asked for a side of fried egg. I didn't see it at first on the menu till after a few bites. I HAD to add an egg to enhance the banh mi experience and enhance it, it did! The place had a large kitchen area, and just a few tables, I'm assuming most people take them to go. I absolutely HAVE to tell my coworkers! I WILL come back, I guarantee it.

After trying more and more banh mi spots, Pickle Banh Mi tops them all off. The flavor and quality is more unique and their bread is so fresh. As everyone knows, the bread makes or breaks a sandwich and I love the bread here. Their #12 Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi is amazing, the pork has crispy skin and the pork is soft and melts in your mouth. They cook and slice this pork daily! After trying this sandwich, I don't think I can try another one. When I first came here, I didn't know what to order but Sean and My were very friendly explaining the menu items. Even if your not in the mood for a sandwich they have small bites, coffee, milk tea, rice plates and more!

I have always wanted to try a bahn mi I saw a few people eating them on TikTok and Instagram and wanted to see what those flavors would be like. Pickled Bahn Mi is located on a busy street and has a full parking lot the area is in the hood where some people tend to linger and mind their own business. The restaurant is clean and relaxed kinda mom and popish and as a new person trying to decide what to order the young man at the register wasn't very helpful and I ended up ordering a milk tea I didn't like despite describing what tea I prefer. I decided on a grilled crispy Pork Bahn Mi on a crispy baguette a small amount of crispy pork pate was extra they layered on crisp lettuce sliced cucumbers jalapeno peppers cilantro and pickled carrots. Crispy Pork Bahn Mi I took a bite and the bread was absolutely delicious the pork was tasty seasoned well with crispy ends the pate was good and I like pate but just not warmed up -- the veggies were nice and added freshness to the Bahn Mi the jalapeno provide some heat and that was very nice I would order it again without pate it's tasty and needs a bit more meat. 8/10 Tips. Ordering my pate on the side will be my next option that way it isn't warmed up I'll add it to my sandwich after it cools down. Thai Milk Tea Thai milk tea lightly sweetened the color was an odd orange color possibly turmeric I didn't care for the flavor of the milk tea it was a strong no. 7/10 intersection just not my style. My thoughts. I will try another order of tea but ask for mine to be milky sweet and turmeric free. Coconut jello It smelled (herbal I think) but it looked ok I don't fault the people who made it and gave it 10/10 to be fair. This is my first experience trying Bahn Mi and I like to be respectful of another cultures food it's something my palate is not used too but I'm game in time I'll try more food and another Bahn Mi. The vibe. This restaurant has good reviews and was filled with people constantly ordering Bahn Mi this is an amazing extremely popular place filled with loyal customers who constantly greeted the young man at the restaurant counter. Give it a try and go see Pickle Bahn Mi for yourself .. Just me Shawn C.

FRESH The spring rolls are left on the counter so I feared they would be stale or of mid quality. But they were crunchy and fresh. Comparable to brodards on a budget. The filet mignon #16. Basically a Vietnamese Philly cheesesteak. Lots of peppers, some sections are extra spicy and some sections of the sandwich soaked in meat juice. None of these are a problem for me. Worth the money. The only thing about this place is the location. It's right by a 711 or liquor store .I had a guy follow me for money when I arrived, then when I left. Not their fault but man it's annoying when you're just trying to get a quick bite.

Best Banh Mi I've had in the South Bay. Many shops are increasing prices and decreasing their portions, BUT NOT PICKLE BANH MI. Excellent deal and you get a HUGE Banh Mi sandwich compared to other places. It was my 1st time so I tried quite a few Banh Mi sandwiches including the classic combo, crispy pork belly, bbq pork, lemongrass beef, and crispy pork belly spring rolls. I wasn't a fan of the spring roll here so I wouldn't get it again personally, but I really enjoyed the banh mi and will definitely keep coming back here for it! Bread was not super hard which was a plus! Best fresh, but it was tasty to heat it up in the oven later as well!

This place used to be so many things before it was Pickle Banh Mi. I'm glad I can still recognize some familiar faces with the staff because they are very nice people. They now specialize in sandwiches as well as other plates of food. I tried the Filet Lomo Saltado w/ red rice and it was good. The meat was flavorful and the portion size was big. The side sauce was the perfect topping. I also tried the Passion Fruit Tea w/ boba and it was refreshing. The boba was my favorite part and I would definitely add it to other drinks. The inside has some seating and there is a restroom for customers. I took my order to-go and I noticed that they don't add ice to your drinks until you get there which is a good idea. There is a shared parking with the other establishments. I will definitely come back to try their other food options.

Yup. Came back today to try to get my order right this time. (Mind you the first time was fantastic, but not what I usually order.) and the service was just as great as was the food this turn around!! Anyway.. the pork belly bahn mi was everything we had hoped for and more. The bread had just the perfect amount of crunchiness to it. In fact Ratatouille would even approve Great service at a local Long Beach spot that is clean , offers fresh foods that are made to order and has inside seating to keep you out of the heat (needed especially these days). So, if you're in the area or driving through, support your local business owners at Pickle Bahn Mi. Guarantee you, you will enjoy every bite! Thanks Pickle Bahn Mi!

Friendly staff and a fantastic Bahn Mi that is at such a reasonable price (~$8). The bread was great and there was a great balance of flavors. I would certainly come back here. There is some seating but not a ton inside.

I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately the food was just alright. I have tried many Bang Mi and honestly this was just mid. I ordered the crispy pork spring roll and the chow mein noodles. Everything was alright. And the price was pretty expensive. Compared to other spots that are similar. I think I will go to Westminster or GG for some Vietnamese food.

Third/ Fourth or fourth visit so far. You get the bang for your buck! This location is tucked away in small shopping plaza near a bend in the roads. The ambience is cafe style where you order up front and find your own seat -- much like Lee's. Their menu is extensive and has a number of classic Vietnamese items. One choice that popped out to me was the Lomo Saltado item--- one of my favorite Peruvian dishes. Service is 20/10 ! The main guy that works there was really nice to me and a friend on our first visit. He gave us extra complimentary items on the house and chatted with us about business. They seem to get a lot of online orders. I'd definitely to go back when i'm craving a filling meal.

This is the best banh mi I've ever had. I went with the classic, and it did not disappoint. Amazing food, friendly staff, and there's even phone charging cables while you wait for your food. They've thought of everything.

I've tried almost everything on the menu and it's pretty delicious. Lots of items that hit the spot. It does get very busy during lunch rush so best to put in the orders early to pick up. The staff are all very friendly and fast.

If you haven't been here.. you are missing out! Very clean looking inside. Once arrived, you are greeted by the friendly cashier behind the counter. He will gladly answer any questions you have about the menu. I ordered the combo sandwich and their popular deep fried pork belly sandwich. IMO, u have to eat the pork belly sandwich fresh, on the spot to enjoy the full experience of the sandwich. I only went for their sandwiches but after seeing their full menu, you better believe I'll be back ! Also, my brother in law mentioned that they have the best kaw in town! So I'll definitely have to try that next time.

First time ever even trying Vietnamese food but was randomly craving a Bahn Mi. By default it's the best one I've ever had but this was really delicious. The fresh veggies kept things light, the fresh jalapeños added a pleasant kick, the bread was crusty goodness, and the pork belly was tender and flavor. My favorite bites were the pork heavy bites. Very nice sweetness in the marinade or from a sauce that was added. I added a couple other items just to round out the meal. The steamed bun was solid, especially once you reached the meat/etc part. And the pork egg rolls are excellent. Could've eaten 12 of them...

I've been here a few times, and today I found long black hairs in my food after waiting quite a long time for my banh mi. One problem would've been an annoyance not warranting a review, but both issues need to be called out.

Pickle Banh Mi has a modern and clean ambience with a cozy seating area inside, perfect for small parties. Though the parking lot is small, I had no issues finding a spot. A nice touch is their courtesy phone charging stations in the waiting area. I ordered the crispy pork belly banh mi and the passion fruit tea with lychee jelly. The sandwich was incredibly delicious, well-balanced, and had the most satisfying crunch! The tea was refreshing and tasty. The staff were professional and quick, adding to the overall great experience. I look forward to returning and trying more items on their menu!

First time trying this place.. one of my favorite sandwiches are the Vietnamese Banh Mi. I had the bbq pork-so good. They do it right here. Also tried the crispy pork plate, excellent. Everything is so clean and nice. The service is excellent and friendly staff. I will definitely be back.

This is based on the Vietnamese coffee and fresh hot meat bun. I did not eat the sandwich because I had one at Lee's sandwich prior but wanted to try their coffee here. Rolled up to the parking lot and it is a very small lot. Good luck finding a spot. The store was packed with a never ending line. Only a few tables to sit at. Steamed Meet bun- so fresh, hot and soft. Perfect amount of meat, egg and sausage to bun ratio. Perfect flavor. I would come back to try the others, but they only had the originals left on the tray at the front desk. I think it is pretty cool that they have rice plates to go with all of the different type of meats if you don't want a sandwich. Vietnamese coffee- it doesn't taste Ike the traditional Vietnamese coffee. I think it is the type of beans they use. It tastes different. More floral I would say. It might not be everyone's taste bud. I thought it wasn't bad, but I do prefer non floral tasting beans.
