The grilled pork banh mi from Saigon Beach might be the greatest sandwich to pick up pre-beach in Laguna, but that’s not the only reason we’re fans of this casual family-run Vietnamese spot right off PCH. Along with bowls of pho and shaking beef, they serve creative dishes like cilantro-colored “420 rice” with shredded jackfruit, spicy-sweet chili peanut wings, and a juicy pho baguette dip stuffed with shaved brisket. Takeout is popular, but there’s a shaded patio out front and a short beer and wine list if you decide to dine in.
