Banh Mi My Tho: Experience Authentic Vietnamese Flavors in Alhambra

Banh Mi My Tho is a real treat! The banh mi has the perfect crunch, and the pickled veggies give it a nice, tangy kick. Planning to eat later? Just let the staff know, and they’ll keep the pickles and veggies separate so everything stays fresh for you. Their Broken Rice (Com Tam) is also a must-try—great portions at a good price. Since it gets busy, I’d recommend calling in your order to save time. And trust me, you don’t want to miss the Vietnamese Condensed Milk Coffee (Ca phe sua da). It’s the perfect match for the banh mi! Though it’s mainly a takeout place, you’ve got options: enjoy your food at the little tables out front or head to a nearby park for a mini picnic.

Had a grilled pork banh mi from this OG spot and loved. Most banh mi’s are $7, with $3 for extra meat and $8.25 for grilled beef. My friend got the pork meatball and also loved it! Decent quality, cash only, and they have additional Vietnamese groceries like pate and egg yolk as well as lottery. All in all a solid place with a long line - get there early!

First time visiting this place, we were so amazed by the Banh Mis!!! We have the house special and the beef one... Both are super delicious! They are just different than any other Banh Mis we have tried! The cold cut itself, sauce, the pork and beef are very well flavoured! The only thing that caught us 4 were the hot peppers... We suffered a bit from that... Would definitely ask for less or not to have any at all...! The Banh Mis were so good that we finished 2 in 5 minutes... And craved to buy more immediately! I wouldn't mind to have this every breakfast, that would be such a pleasant way to start a day!

there are many baguette shops around, decided to try this one because of the good rating. ordered the signature baguette, which is basically having everything. crunchy baguette and generous portion of filling. pretty tasty and authentic i’ll say.

I ordered this as a to-go item and waited about ten minutes — totally worth it. I couldn’t even take a photo before digging in because the chicken baguette was that tempting. The bread was excellent: crisp on the outside with a light, chewy crust, yet soft and moist inside without being dry. The pickled radish added a bright tanginess that balanced the savory chicken perfectly, cutting through the richness without overpowering it. The chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and not overly salty — every bite felt harmonious, with just the right mix of crunch, softness, acidity, and warmth. Simple, but made with real care. Since this was take-out, I didn’t dine indoors, but the outdoor picnic tables were clean and well-maintained, which I appreciated. The staff were friendly, patient, and kind throughout the process. A delicious sandwich with great value, thoughtful preparation, and genuinely warm service — definitely a five-star experience.

Felt like trying out some of local banh mi places and this was along the way for my errands. It's a small shop that really is just take out. I tried their chicken banh mi and che thai dessert drink. The breading is decent, I'd say above average. The chicken filling was nicely shredded and had good flavor. Of course it had the usual mix of assorted veggies which were normal. It's a little more than say bah mi chi cali, but the meat filling was of good quantity, so I felt the price was good. I liked the che thai too. Service was quick and friendly, so I'd come back again. Cash only.

Best banh mi we've had in a long time! Several items for only $7 and it's a good size. Only took a few minutes to get it. It's essentially a deli where you pick up and go. There's only tiny table outside for 2 people. We loved our BBQ meatball and grilled pork banh mi. Will have to make the drive back down here again to try more.

I love their sandwiches. They’re so good and the price is actually very affordable. For seven dollars you get delicious foot-long sandwich. There is like a little bit of sitting area outside, but mostly this is a takeout place. They always have plenty of customers so they will be a bit of line, but their service is very fast. They also some little market items, such as chili oil drinks, and other choices other than their sandwiches. But I definitely recommend trying their #2!
