Jen Chong: Everything is amazing. Pork banh mi is phenomenal, and unlimited refills on rare sodas!
jennifer han: amazing sandwiches! everything is delicious but the spicy steak banh mi (a seasonal sammie for spring) has a special place in my heart. comes with raw chili slices so it's not for the weak.
Charlene Mae: I've tried (& liked) quite a few menu items, but the spicy lemongrass steak bahn mi is the best by far. l tend to remove a few hot peppers to lessen the kick, but this sandwich is perfection.

Adrian Phillips: This place is so trendy. Don't be put off by the tech-bros & Venice yuppies as the food, pastries & beverages are phenomenal & worth the price. Try the brisket sandwich or bahn mi. Rich & tasty.
suneel: Scallion labneh, chicken banh mi, anything with almond milk
Jeffrey Glueck: Amazing bakery restaurant with outdoor garden. People watching in Venice, supposed to be daytime celeb spot. Chicken banh mi yum. Smoked fish looked incredible. And the fries (from the next table)

Reserve: The Banh Mi at Little Sister in LA takes cold cuts, lemongrass chicken or spiced brisket and tops them with light, fresh vegetables like daikon and carrots, sliced cucumber, cilantro and jalapeño. Read more.
Mary Anderson: Lemongrass beef, spring rolls, the noodles, chicken bahn mi!! Everything is sooo good!!
Connie Chiu: The best dish was the SGV banh mi! Big and flavorful. Papaya salad is also good. Everything else was okay. Didn’t love the shaky beef or the rice paper beef roll. Beef tartare was okay. Love the vibe.
