Tried out the new spot in town due to their promotion B2G1 free on banh mi. The restaurant is very big for just 2 tables so it feels kinda empty. The banh mi tho came out quick and PERFECT! It’s like a fat french baguette super crunch, veggies r tasty, they gave lots of pork belly meat n it is crusty and juicy and full of flavours, the sauce is tasty and not too salty like other places, mayo inside is delish. 9.5/10 we love it here for the price, so much that we bought 3 more to go home! Will be back soon! Ty!

We ordered two fish cake sandwiches through online. They advertise for buy two get one and we didn’t receive it because it only applies to other types of bánh mì which was not disclosed in their ad. Their bathroom is not clean and overall atmosphere was not great. Their bread is crispy, other than that nothing special. It will be our first and last.

This place is terrible. This why banh mi is 50 percent off. The services is slow as grass growing. People here break in line because there is no order. I'm tired of these gimmicks. Yummy banh bao is much better. I hope the owner reads this because I will never be back. So amateur restaurant. Stay away and save your time.

I love this place. Best sandwich. Bread is extra crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. The condiment on sandwich is delicious / excellent.

Bánh Mì from Vua Banh Bao – Westminster, CAAs someone who's traveled extensively between Paris and Los Angeles—and even spent time working in Paris—I’ve developed a deep appreciation for a well-crafted baguette. So when I say that the bánh mì from Vua Banh Bao in Westminster ranks among the best I’ve ever had, that’s not said lightly.I recently tried their Bánh Mì Heo Quay (roast pork) and Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt (the house special), and both were absolute standouts. What immediately struck me was the bread: perfectly crisp on the outside, yet light and airy inside. It transported me back to mornings at a local Parisian boulangerie—where getting a fresh, hot baguette was a daily ritual. It’s rare to find that level of craftsmanship outside of France, let alone in a humble bánh mì shop tucked away in Little Saigon.The fillings were just as impressive. The roast pork had a deeply savory flavor with crackling skin, balanced by pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and a light smear of pâté. Every bite was layered with texture and flavor, a true testament to how bánh mì can be both simple and sophisticated.Vua Banh Bao clearly takes pride in their craft. If you’re in Westminster and want a bánh mì that honors both its Vietnamese roots and French influence, this spot is a must-visit. Trust me—I've had many, and this one is truly special.
