Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There are actually two locations in the same shopping center but Yelp only knows one. The original one is in a old Taco Bell building which sells mostly sandwiches, drinks and misc stuff. The newer one has a nice dining room with quite a few...tables and has a lot more on the menu than sandwiches. There is also a drive thru. We haven’t tried the restaurant yet but we love the shredded chicken and bbq pork sandwiches!! The spring rolls and rice sheet to go packs on the counter are pretty good too. If you are just getting Vietnamese sandwiches, it may be faster to go to the smaller original one so you are not competing with the drive thru line.More

All BMCC (Banh Mi Che Cali) locations are franchised, same price, same taste. The differences are the women who work behind the counter. This Brookhurst location has nice ladies, mature, kind and patience. I wish the women at the Bolsa/Magnolia (next to ABC market) have...better manner, better customer services. This location is rather larger. Some women at this location (behind the counter or NOT behind the counter) are the rudest people. THey yell at the customers. They "bark" so loud like they are giving out free food. I usually do not shop here, if I do grocery in ABC, then I stopped there conveniently. THe short hair woman takes the order for sandwiches should not play favorite, she puts her friends or her own customers' ticket numbers before some of the ticket numbers - so the wait is much longer, and her favorite customers who come in later, would get the sandwiches before those come in earlier. If I say something, I will be marked the next time I come in with her cold staring look, or don't care to help attitude. So be it. Cheap fast food.More

Tiny to-go restaurant serving delicious and cheap banh mi and popular Vietnamese snacks. Crowded, chaotic, sometimes frustrating but hugely popular. The ladies in the kitchen churn out orders as fast as they humanly can given the lines. For $5 or less, one could get a...full Vietnamese fast food meal here. Can't beat that price. For a more relaxing experience, there is a sister restaurant next door (by the same name) that serves sit-down fast food. It also has a drive-through window. Both places are my favorite.More

It's a small little sandwich store. Thought the food was rather cheap. They also have spring rolls and a bunch of other items. They also have some boba drinks but they are more known for their sandwiches and other food. The service isn't the best...but I knew that going in. Once you accept that, life is so much better. They are so busy, they ended up opening another store right next to this one.More

The food (banh mi and snacks was ok nothing special). There isn't any ordering system. Typical Vietnamese don't know how first come first serve work and don't know how to follow the line. The place was swamped with customers waving cash in their hands. No...line what so ever. Also the parking can get really chaotic during the morning/daytime so if you are in a rush. Cash only! They do not accept credit card.More

Chè is a Vietnamese dessert which encompasses sweet rice beans fruits and starchy family that combine into pudding that is served hot or cold, or drinks and soup that has a variety of ingredients. Bánh Mì (baguette) Chè Cali at the corner of Brookhurst and...Westminster in Little Saigon is my favorite place to go and pick up chè and baguette. They are always buzzing with activities. You order by getting in line and order, pay in cash only. They will give you a tiny slip of paper to wait for your bánh mì sandwiches (think of Subway buy the Viet kind) or BOGO baguette. You get a different slip of paper listing how many chè you paid for and get to another line to order your fav. The picture shows I ordered the corn pudding with coconut milk, chè ba màu (three colors beans), chè Bà ba (a variety of tubers) and sâm bỗ lượng (sweet soup with dates chestnuts, longan, lotus and seaweed). Don't except the cashiers and workers to be friendly. They're all robotically industrious and snappish. Since it's always busy they don't have even a few seconds to spare and smile or say thank you? Think of Soup Nazi from Seinfield. You should be thankful for them not the other way around.More

I'm French and Vietnamese (origin) and I can assure you that we don't have that kind of shop in France. It was a real pleasure for me to discover this kind of "restaurant". The banh mi was good but I got used to the ones...in France, and you can't just beat a french baguette when you've tried one. Nevertheless, the Che overthere are just soooo good and we definitely need that in France. The food is so cheap compared to here so... Nom nom nom.More

Okay. This place is pretty dang awesome. Every time I go there is a line. It moves pretty quick so don't be discouraged. Everyone that works there speaks Vietnamese and not a lot of English. Don't worry though you'll get by just fine as long...as your not too picky about taking stuff out of your order. The Banh Mi sandwiches are so good. I don't know how they make their meat so delicious but it is really good. I've had the BBQ beef, BBQ pork, and the chicken. All fantastic. I'm guessing they make their own mayonnaise cause it's super good and nothing like any store bought that I've tasted. I don't know if this is all the time but right now the Banh Mi sandwiches are buy 2 get 1 free and they are only $2.75 each (that includes the tax). So for $5.50 you get 3 sandwiches. Go ahead and try a couple of different ones your won't be disappointed. They even taste great the next day straight out of the refrigerator so you can take home what you don't eat. Go enjoy a Banh Mi!!More

Usually crowded. You might have problem in ordering if you don't speak Vietnamese. The price is very reasonable. All of the desserts are excellent. For sandwiches, #1,2 and 3 are very good. Their baguette used to be the best. Now, it's OK.

I am a regular at Banh Mi Che Cali. They have two kinds of bead for the sandwiches. One is a baguette and the other is a French roll. You can buy the bread alone to take out in addition to buying sandwiches. They also...have teriyaki chicken, beef or vegetable meals. $3.75 for a chicken meal with rice and steamed veggies. It is enough for two meals. It is a lot of food. They have egg rolls for 50 Cents each. There are coffee drinks and pastries. They are open 24/7 all year round. There is an outside patio where you can eat. Inside it always packed with people. I have been there at 2:00 AM and there was a line. It is cash only. No credit cards. No ATM cards. The sandwiches are super cheap. The Vietnamese people tell me they like Banh Mi Che Cali better than Lee's Sandwiches.More
