Cam Ahn is my favorite hole-in-the-wall bánh mì spot in Oakland Chinatown, hands down. It’s one of those places you almost want to keep a secret… but it’s too good not to share.
The real reason this is my go-to? I eat plant-based, and they make the freshest, most delicious shredded tofu spring rolls and bánh mì. Not an afterthought, not a sad substitute—this is legit, flavorful, crave-worthy food you honestly can’t find everywhere.
And then there’s the Chinese donut. Absolutely evil. Crispy, airy, dangerously good—the kind you think about later and suddenly need again.
The service seals the deal. Ahn, the owner, and her staff genuinely make you feel at home every single time. Warm, kind, and welcoming in that way that keeps you coming back even when you weren’t planning to.
If you’re in the area and want amazing food with heart behind it, Cam Ahn is it.

Came back to Oakland visiting from Texas. Had to stop by Anh’s and get myself a banh mi. As soon as I walked in Anh greeted me with a huge smile and prepared me a fire #7 banh mi from her menu. 10/10

Walked in for lunch and was greeted right away. Got helped and was told about the different options so I went for a tray of fried rice, a grilled pork sandwich and some shrimp spring rolls. I will definitely come back here again. Everything was rich in taste.

The atmosphere is warm and cozy, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the service was exceptional—super friendly staff who made me feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for tasty, healthy Vietnamese food. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Quaint place with very friendly and courteous staff. The pork belly rice dish was delicious and had a home cooking quality. Spent less than $25 on two entrees! Looking forward to trying Banh Mo on my next visit.

My go-to Banh Mi restaurant. The sandwiches are packed with flavor and the bread is crispy but not too crunchy, which I like. Highly recommended.
