I was in the San Jose area back in November for the NWSL Championship and was looking for a solid breakfast food option and found Aina’s Vegan Banh Mi and was absolutely blown away by the food and the service I received. The breakfast Banh Mi is one of, if not the single, best sandwiches I’ve EVER eaten. So fresh, so light, and the flavor was so memorable that two months later I still think about it every morning.
I also had to pleasure of meeting Aina and her husband, both of whom were incredibly endearing and quick to conversation. We chatted about their time operating the restaurant, the way they prepare their incredible food, and what brought my partner and I to the area. I was also pleasantly surprised with the way that they both remembered the details of the conversation when we came back the next morning (the food is so good, we knew that this would be our spot while we were in the area).
If you’re in the area and looking for some of the best vegan food that you will ever have, you absolutely need to make sure you visit Aina’s.
Below you’ll find photos of their bbq banh mi, breakfast banh mi, vegan steamed vegetable bao, and bbq fresh roll.

Delicious and generously sized (but still affordable) banh mi in many varieties! The space is larger than I expected and could work for a group dine in (we did take out – they were super fast), and service is friendly and they clearly care a lot about their menu and answering our questions. Also recommend the viet iced coffee!

Vegan breakfast banh mi with JustEgg omelet inside the bread, containing spinach, onions, tomatoes. So delicious. Also the passion dragon smoothie was amazing, these smoothies contain more real fruit and have a thick creamy texture. Absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted.

So this review is in comparison to other vegan options out there. This is a good option. The Simple Delight is by far the best banh mi and it’s not even close. The xa siu was the worst one we had. Ocean of love is great imo but it would definitely be more contentious. The smoothies were all great and they really fill up the cup. The banh mis came out great, bread wise. My biggest complaint is really with the filling. I paid $12 for the banh mi and it has the stuffing of $8 banh mi. I understand not using a lot of vegan meat but I’m talking about jalapenos, cilantro and other additions. The flavors though are all there. The staff are friendly. There’s plenty of seating, the inside looks great. Their sister shop is a vegan donut shop which was sold OUT for Mother’s Day by lunch time. They have a small shared parking lot in the back but honestly just pray you can use the street parking.

Trying the Cheerful Xa-Xiu (BBQ) Simple delight, spicy lemongrass, Saigon rolls and other rolls. Great service and the atmosphere was good. Aina was so good and polite. Also the place closes at 3:30 pm and it’s inside the vegan donut and cafe. Do try this place if you are a vegan and also be careful on the spice.

The best and well prepared Bahn Mi I have ever had. Vegan and craving? Search no more. She is so sweet and professional.
I had the Tuna Melt. The ocean of love is very good too.

Amazing Banhmi place. Doesn’t even need the “for a vegan place” qualifier. The sandwich is objectively great. The bread is so crunchy and fresh. I got the spicy lemongrass and the soy curls were peppery and lemony.
The service is amazing, the vibe is laid back and the owners are very friendly.

Finally, a place that sells reasonably priced, excellent tasting banh mi sandwiches. I’ve been to many of the vegan Vietnamese restaurants in the South Bay, but none of them have specialized in banh mi. This one is.
The baguette is so soft to bite into. And the home made pate is delicious. We tried a breakfast banh mi and a spicy lemongrass one. The fillings in both were excellent.

Been wanting to try this place for a long time. Finally made it out and was not disappointed. It’s a bit tricky to find because there aren’t any signs outside but do not be deterred.
We got 3 different banh mi and 1 of each of the rolls to go to share with family and they were all superb. I’ll have to visit again and update the post with proper pictures. We also had a mango smoothie with mango jelly that was delicious.
One thing that stood out was the bread used for the banh mi. It was outstanding with respect to taste and texture.
I highly recommend you try this place whether you’re vegan or not the taste is there and you’ll be in for a treat.
