Looks good and not too far from me. Agreed, USD 3.00 is on the steep side, but then sall food in PP seems to be pretty expensive.

WTF? He doesn’t give a name or address of this place, unless I missed it.

Well I’m here now at Hero Steak. The pork Banh Mi is $2.50. Place is packed. Update when I get home and eat.,

Ok, it was really good, not mind blowing great for the pork version, but it was really good. And I didn’t think it was small at all. Definitely will go back and try the other versions.

Friendly advice, plan on takeout if you go there midday, at least that’s how it was around noon today. People were leaving without ordering because all the tables were full.

Pickle Banh Mi expands into Long Beach’s Cambodia Town
Caitlin Antonios July 6, 2023

Since she was a child, My Nguyen has worked with her mom. So taking on the challenge of helping her mom, Du Ng Dong, and her aunt, Oanha Dong, in opening the newest location of Pickle Banh Mi in Cambodia Town—their first outside of Orange County—is not something new.

“My mom, my whole life, is an opportunist,” Nguyen said. Her mother, leaning on her Catholic faith, has jumped at entrepreneurial pursuits that came her way over the 30 years she’s been in the food industry after immigrating from Vietnam.
Dong and her family moved to Orange County from Seattle in the ’80s, and were able to sponsor their whole family, bringing Nguyen’s aunt to California about 20 years ago.

When the Dong sisters decided to open the first Pickle Banh Mi in Garden Grove in 2018, the menu was a love letter of sorts.

A bánh mì sandwich has a few key elements: a French baguette, French-style mayo, pâté (think meat spread), meat and some sort of pickled veggie, Nguyen said.

The history of the sandwich itself is a mixing of cultures — a product of French colonization. So as the sandwich continues to evolve and change, everyone does it their own way.
The recipes are crafted over decades of learning from others and putting their own spin on it. One of the most popular items at the Long Beach location is the bò filet xào, which takes from a Peruvian staple, lomo saltado-style beef, and mixes it with Vietnamese flavors.
