Hahaha!<br /><br />Tammy,<br />But you can get good baguettes. It's harder to make the baguettes than the fillings. Although, I prefer VNese French bread with the crackly crust and softer crumb than a hard baguette.<br /><br />Oddlyme,<br />Aww. Thanks!

He came out to LA a few years ago for a visit, had his first banh mi - and fell in love. My mom, on the other hand, fell for the shrimp and fresh rice noodle rolls. They got some to take back on the plane!<br /><br />I love your posts and your kindness - sharing oddlymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326515838434329374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-1499543440447722442010-03-22T14:00:39.138-07:002010-03-22T14:00:39.138-07:00Well, I kind of like the craziness, places get pop...Well, I kind of like the craziness, places get popular for a reason. And the banh mi are SO good (haven't tried the che, always too full from the sandwiches!) I just REALLY wish there was a banh mi shop ANYWHERE around here. You guys are lucky. I have to make my own banh mi, and I am fairly certain they cost more and they aren't as good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03437876558716264896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-66497472888781804602010-03-22T11:12:11.855-07:002010-03-22T11:12:11.855-07:00Yup the one on Brookhurst right after MacFadden; r...Yup the one on Brookhurst right after MacFadden; right by KFC and Alertos.

I'm sure my family is tired of hearing the same stories, but my blog gives me new people to tell them to! :P<br /><br />SW,<br />I think most VNese shops do. I think they do here because the mayo has a yellow tinge to it that makes me think of egg yolks.<br /><br />Diana,<br />I know! So expensive! :P That's why I avoided it and opted for their other location at Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-17738732806942722472010-03-21T19:30:29.923-07:002010-03-21T19:30:29.923-07:00One of my favorite place but usually this place is...One of my favorite place but usually this place is way to packed for me to venture so I head of to the one closer to Fountain Valley.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571901478675826116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-63929077793720511862010-03-21T15:57:15.614-07:002010-03-21T15:57:15.614-07:00This is and has always been my family's favori...This is and has always been my family's favorite place to get banh mi and che. My parents have been going to that strip mall since before I was born.

My husband and I are living in Da Nang right now, so Banh Mi is a very familiar sight. We're vegetarians though, so we get rau with thit chay, still tastes good though. :)Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893977540275670219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-58918830096650794122010-03-21T00:03:55.043-07:002010-03-21T00:03:55.043-07:00I remember this place!

I feel like I'm going to hit somebody or somebody's going to hit me because there are so many people there.Conversations With a Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583481794087775266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-67666137543996643792010-03-20T16:59:05.937-07:002010-03-20T16:59:05.937-07:00I was able to share banh mi with my husband for th...I was able to share banh mi with my husband for the first time in January. He had never had them before. He agreed they are the best and I did not exaggerate.
