Westminster Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich

I'm heading to Westminster this afternoon and would love people's recommendations for their favorite Banh Mi Sandwiches joints. There's so many down there, I want to filter out the good ones, and the best type of sandwiches! I need your help!

    What about Top Baguette at the corner of Bolsa and Magnolia in Westminster?

      Gala Bakery, 2 locations. A teeny bit pricier than some of the others, but well worth it.

        I heartily second Raspberries' suggestion of Gala Bakery.

        I just went there Saturday and got a Banh Mi with Thit Nuong and Xiu Mai - delicious! The quality of the meat is much better than at other shops in my opinion.

        Also, I got one of their chocolate croissants and that was very good as well.

        Good luck!

        BMCC is good. So is BM Cho Cu. But the 'So 1' banh mi is Ba Le on Bolsa. Their bread is very good but their meat stands way above everyone else.

        Nhu Lan on Garden Grove Blvd. is also good. For a step above, Pierre Bakery on Brookhurst has amazing bread a pastries.

        Went to Tip Top once and it was sub-Lee's Sandwiches level. Since it is down the street, I might as well go to Lee's.

          I've only gone to two places in the area so far, and both were quite nice. They have the long, thin baguettes.

            Banh Mi Che Cali, multiple locations. The one on Brookhurst and McFadden is the easiest to get in and out.

              There is also another location at Brookhurst and Talbert that has more parking than the others.
