Pickle Banh Mi Co

The only place I go for crispy pork belly banh mi; their banh mi is crunchy but not hard. The meat is a mix of lean and fatty meat; in most of the places that I've visited, fat was used more than lean meat.
The other banh mi are also delicious; if you visit Orange County, don't miss this spot.

This used to be Burger King and turned into Pickle bánh mi that’s why it has a drive thru. I came twice in one week. The first time was a walk in and the second time was drive thru. Both instances last the same amount of time, about 15 mins wait.

The menu is extensive. There’s bánh mì, rice plates, soup, curry, chow mein, porridge, steam rice rolls, spring rolls, small bites and drinks. Everything is under $10.50.

We always get the same thing:

- bánh mì đặc biệt ($6.25) - combo of all the meats like ham, head cheese, bologna. I added extra pate and the house special sauce just added so much flavor.
- Bánh mì bò kho ($9.50) - baguette dipped in beef stew. Extremely flavorful and the meat is so tender.
- Pork spare rib porridge ($7.99) - so good! The rice is so fine and it’s like they use a sweet rice or something that makes the consistency really sticky and glutinous. I can eat this any day, doesn’t have to be when I’m sick. Generous with pork bones too.

The pork belly banh mi here is insane! They use braised pork belly and a sriracha mayo. I also recommend the sesame balls. I didn't stop a picture of my food because I did a grab and go. Definitely recommend this place for something on the fly.
