Hey all! Our Instagram was hacked yesterday and believe it or not, is being held at ransom. We’ve started a new Instagram , but have yet to update and add photos! Would love your pre support in building back our audience 💪🏼. Thank you!!!!

Tucked away in the heart of Hollywood, you wouldn’t necessarily expect a culinary haven with house-made pickles, pâté and bonito chili crunch, BUT, alas, enter .

Banh Oui started as a simple concept focused on banh mi, but during COVID, it took on a larger culinary identity. Yes, we still do our version of a banh mi!

But expect to find a whole lot more on our menu that celebrates the diverse palate of Los Angeles!

testing again for some menu change ups! This one here is inspired by a recent trip to Puebla, where I ate a breakfast torta on the side of a highway at 4am in what felt like 20 degree F temperature 🥶 !

Pictured here is best described if Japanese curry pan met a Mexican breakfast torta. We’re using our chicken katsu, but thinking of testing with a pork cutlet instead. Thoughts?

From bottom to top: curried potatoes, katsu, roasted poblano, pickled Fresno and sesame aioli.

Steak Banh Oui 🥩

We order 2 to 3 large top rounds a week because you guys love this so much! To save on cost we break it down ourselves and marinate in black pepper and sesame oil. Top round is a fairly lean cut of beef, and works beautifully with our buttery pâté.

Being a young cook in LA, kitchen would often finish late and be hungry, so Korea Town became our after hours playground. I love Korean BBQ, but I really love the salt, pepper and sesame oil dipping sauce they serve alongside pickled daikon and other banchan.

This steak is my tiny ode to the many meals spent in Ktown as a young aspiring cook.

Banh Oui Burger 🍔

I love a good burger, and while a smash burger is delicious for all its crispy bits, our 8 ounce beef blend gets that same crispy crust but a whole lot more body.

I was inspired by a beef herb salad I had in dtla’s Little Sister restaurant and a 💡 hit! They used a sweet and sour dressing to play off the sear of their sliced beef and topped the dish with a gang of fresh herbs.

All we did was change the format of an already genius flavor combination by making a burger. True to fashion, we smeared some pâté on the buttery bun, added some fresh texture with a chunk of iceberg lettuce and paid homage to the classic flavors of a California burger ( ) with caramelized onions.

There’s a lot of love and inspiration in this burger and def worth a visit to our humble abode in Hollywood.

Almost 7 years ago, served its first pork belly banh oui and 7 years later, it’s still the most popular menu item ordered daily!

I may never tire of eating this incredible sandwich because the natural fattiness of the pork is evenly matched by the strong vinegar of the pickled carrot and daikon. Unlike traditional banh mi, our carrot and daikon pickles are more tart because my palate favors acid and salt to sugar.

Instead the natural sweetness from the carrot, fresh mint and slightly sweet and spicy pickled Fresno chili aid in creating balance to what I consider one of the best bites in the sandwich world!

Banh mi is Queen in my humble opinion. Crunchy, light, salty, tart, sweet, bright, spicy, fresh, aromatic, fatty and colorful.

My kind of sandwich.

We started with sandwiches, but our 2020 born Shredded Cabbage and Pickle Salad has quickly become a category on its own.

I grew up eating tofu and love the texture and versatility of it. I can eat a bowl of these white peppered seasoned fried tofu bites, but alas, the pucker worthy pickled carrot and daikon and crunchy cabbage balance out the entire mouthful.

If you know me, I can wax poetic about the importance of each bite in one dish, and this here salad offers it all: flavor, texture, and a feast for the eyes 👀
