I've gotten this place a couple of times and their banh mi never disappoints. All the banh mi is reasonably priced and they give a good amount. The crispy pork belly banh mi is super good. The crispiness of the pork belly adds the right amount of texture and meat is always tender. I also really enjoy the fish cake banh mi. They add fish tempura into their sandwiches. They freshly bake their breads in house every day. Everything always tastes fresh and made to order. Super yummy!

Service - friendlyAtmosphere - similar to other banh mi place but a bit more tidyFoods - we got chicken curry which we rated it at 9/10, not too salty, perfect hit of spiciness, the soup is very hot which is good, and the chicken is very tender. Pork belly sandwich - tastes not bad, would recommend if you have not tried it yet, the skin is very crunchy, good idea for this new banh mi.Peach gum desert - have not tried yet but it should be a good healthy drink. :) it comes with an ice cup to mix with.The price is approximate for the foods. :)

Carrot & Daikon Banh Mi took over the former Lee's Sandwiches space in Corona, next to Jinhan. They are located at the 91 Freeway and McKinley exit.I stopped by the restaurant after seeing an advertisement for the Crispy Skin Pork Belly Banh Mi and their Kumquat Sugar Cane Juice. Upon entering the restaurant, my party and I were impressed with how clean this restaurant was. The guy at the register seemed so shy but was nice. Here's what I ordered:* Heo Quay / Crispy Skin Pork Belly #6 - This was good but it wasn't the flavor I was expecting. I'm the type to usually order Thit Nuong (BBQ Grilled Pork) Banh Mi so the pork wasn't as bold in flavors but still good.* Kumquat Sugar Cane Juice - My first time trying sugar cane juice anything and I love me some Kumquat. This was refreshing and I really loved it! The sweetness was just right.Also, there are limited seating and tables in the restaurant. It is also very clean. They have a refrigerated beverage section full of canned sodas and other drinks. I can't wait to come back and try other Banh Mi and, of course, pick up another order - or two - of their sugar cane juice.

I cannot say enough about the beautiful Vietnamese baguettes they bake all day-long. A fresh, tender roll with just the right outer crunch. That pure, nostalgic smell of bread that assaults your nose is the Pied Piper of aromas, and it tastes as good as it smells. Pure perfection. That is the start of a fine Banh Mi sandwich. Secondly, the fillings we had were delicious and very generous. My grilled pork #7 was the favorite for us. The crispy pork belly #6 had a delicious flavor, too, but Mr. B thought that the fatty part was to chewy and he would probably go for a different filling next time. But they have so many fillings, (pork, beef, chicken, fish/shrimp, vegetarian, even cold cuts) that that was not a deal breaker. The sandwiches are constructed in the typical banh mi style, loaded with sweet, pickled, vegetables and cilantro, and a pink (sriracha) mayonnaise dressing. These were very good, worth returning for.As far as the eggrolls (4) were concerned, unfortunately, they were a flop. The pork filling itself was generous, but lacking for any umami, and the dipping sauce, which I had to request, was a disaster. I am used to a traditional dipping sauce made with fish sauce and lime juice, nước chấm. This is an almost essential and absolutely over-the-top flavor, imho. Today's was just a thin, sugary sauce with a little Sriracha mixed in, relatively tasteless. I was quite disappointed.But the good points outweighed the disappointments. The prices are amazing! The most expensive one, pork belly #6, was $8.99. The Grilled pork #7, rang up at $7.49. There is only one size of sandwich, and these monster-sized sandwiches measured at least a foot long. They are so generously filled that you can make 2 meals from one sandwich. Our lunch bill came to $22, even with the four eggrolls.It's too bad they have such a small interior. It is practically impossible to find a table during lunch hours, and what few tables they do have are tiny and set close together. I would strongly suggest you order to go.Parking is plentiful. Happily, there was very little wait for our food even during peak hours. They do hustle!

Quick service. Staff were friendly and patient. They took their time to explain the different banh mi's. The banh mi was packed with carrots and daikon, curry tofu, cucumber, jalapeño and cilantro. My husband got the grilled chicken banh mi and he said it's the best banh mi he's ever had. There was flavor in every bite. The crispy bread added a nice texture.

The Banh mi here are sooooo good The Sandwiches are great, i usually get the grilled chicken, just to be more on the lower fat side due to my diet restrictions. And man they always hit. All their drinks are also really good and not overly sweet which i appreciate. They have online order if you're in a rush but if it's not too pack you'll be in and out of here Everything working there is very nice and the restaurant itself is like a basic sandwich shop Overall would recommend to anyone looking for a good banh mi. I tend to go at least once a week or send my husband down for a sandwich. They always hit the spot!

They have a great selection drinks, and banh mi for a reasonable price!! I've tried all of the fresh juices already, and the pineapple and the passion fruit are the best!

5/5 stars! I'm obsessed with this Banh mi spot! The bread is crispy, the pickled veggies are tangy, and the grilled pork is marinated to perfection. I've tried several options on the menu, but the classic Banh mi is my go-to. The prices are super reasonable and the service is always friendly. If you're a Banh mi lover like me, you need to try this place ASAP!
