Banh Mi My Tho

The banh mi at Banh Mi My Tho are at the top of the San Gabriel Valley line-up, thanks to their hard-to-find ratio of pickled vegetables to meat to bread; they don't skimp here, which is pivotal. The frame of the sandwich is a quality baguette, a tad on the softer side of French. Only serious banh mi eaters welcome, as Banh Mi My Tho is a small storefront with other snacks and drinks available, but no place to sit besides your car—and that, people do. See that magic yellow sauce in your sandwich? It's a house-made egg yolk mayonnaise, a truly addictive agent. The BBQ meatball, charbroiled pork, and charbroiled beef banh mi come with peanuts for that perfect nutty crunch. Omnivores, veggie and breakfast lovers will love the banh mi with added egg. Don't forget the iced coffee—some of the best and strongest in the city.
