O Banh Mi

"At Ô Bánh Mi menu is straightforward just like their hours. They're open 12-4 everyday and serve about 5 types of bahn mi sandwiches, 2 choices of papaya salad and 2 curry bowls. That's it. Everything is $7.50 except for the drinks, of course. It's a tiny hole in the wall but man, they do it right. There's seating for about 8 inside, cash only and no visible street sign. Seek and you shall find." - Presshaus LA

"It’s hard for us to even say “Cahuenga” without picking up a banh mi from Banh Oui. In some ways, we prefer these somewhat non-traditional versions over the straightforward cold cut or grilled pork iterations you’ll find at places like My Dung or Saigon’s Sandwich. For starters, the insides of the baguettes here are always fluffy and soft, with a crunchy exterior. Chicken liver oozes out of the sides at even the gentlest touch. And fillings aren’t typical—they’ve got chicken katsu, fried rock shrimp, sous vide duck breast, and plentyof vegetarian options. We gravitate towards the katsu, balanced out with loads of herbs and crunchy pickled vegetables. Banh Oui is fast, it’s fresh, and if you set your mind to it, one sandwich (and maybe a side of fries or mushroom salad?) can stretch into two meals.  " - brant cox, arden shore

"In a part of town that’s chock-full of well-branded restaurants — complete with cool logos and design-forward interiors — it was quite a trip to step into O Banh Mi in Los Feliz. With its name scrawled in permanent marker on the glass door and a barebones interior, the restaurant is putting its energy where it counts — and that is in the food." - Eater Staff

"ORDER: Chicken Katsu Banh Mi Maybe your right side mirror flew off on the 101 in the Santa Ana winds. Now you’re at Autozone during your lunch break, you can’t stop saying “Get in the zone, Autozone,” and you’re hungry. Head to Banh Oui in a strip mall on Cahuenga in Hollywood. This little counter-service lunch spot uses ridiculously fresh ingredients (the produce comes from the Hollywood Farmers Market) to construct sandwiches worth crossing town for. We almost always order the chicken katsu—the crispy katsu holds up to the handful of cilantro and pickled vegetables, and chicken liver oozes out of the sides and into the fluffy baguette. Get in the zone, Autozone. " - brant cox, arden shore
