In the San Gabriel Valley in Southen California, we have our pick of banh mi places, including Lee's and Mr. Baguette. My favorite is Banh Mi and Che Cali, which has several branches in Rosemead and San Gabriel. They recently opened a very large location in a former bank which actually has table service (the others are strictly counter order) and has a menu that includes Pho, bun, spring, and summer rolls. A banh mi is $2.50 and it is buy two, get one free. Their desserts also have the same promo and the boba tea is buy one, get one free. Here was my lunch order for myself and two others.
Three banh mi
Three desserts
Two boba teas
Total = $11.
