This place is a good substitute to Saigon if you want an equally great sandwich without the long lines. My combination sandwich which I didn’t know what was in it and didn’t ask lol was crunchy and soft at the same time. The vegetables weren’t overbearing and the meats were tasty, full of flavor and savory. The speed of service wasn’t as fast but still an overall Good sandwich.

First time ever having a bond me, Vietnamese sandwich. I went with a crowd, favorite sandwich, barbecue pork, and got it without cilantro, not spicy. The sandwich was VERY. Good! A guy eating at the counter, suggested I get the Vietnamese coffee, which I promptly ordered, and was glad I did. I got the Vietnamese coffee, sweet, and it was excellent! Next time I’ll ask for double veggies, but otherwise it was perfect. Will definitely try their other offerings too.

This spot is the GOAT Bahn-mi and idc what anyone else says. Been going here for lunch for forever, and the kind lady making all the food is the absolute best. Her name is Ki and she always greets me when I come in. Beyond the Bahn-mi, get the green honeycomb cake (western name I think) since it’s the BOMB. Not overly sweet and an amazing texture. Can’t go wrong with this place, and make sure to tell Ki that she’s the best since she grinds through crowds of hungry patrons like no tomorrow. She’s the best ❤️

Hands-down best banh mi value in SF! Reviewing because I live for this shop and have never wished a place to survive so much in this economy. For $5-6, you get the most loaded banh mi with the juicest portions of meat and stuffed full with pickled veggies too. They’re so stuffed, I can barely hold them tight! My favs are the Chipotle Pulled Pork and the BBQ Pork.
The bread is super soft and even great the next day if you toast it! I usually buy several at a time and portion them throughout the week. The shop is in the tenderloin so be aware the area can be a bit seedy. Don’t recommend indoor seating either since it’s small, but pickup is super fast if you call ahead to order. I always ask fo extra pickled veggies and the front guy is super nice about it! The sticky rice with sausage is great too.
Imo, this shop is much better than the more famous Saigon Sandwich across the street. But see for yourself!

As others state, the levels of ingredients in their banh mi’s are superb. Not too much, not too little. The bread is crispy, but still soft inside. I tried the BBQ chicken and the meat was perfectly cooked. You simply cannot beat the price which is currently $5.50, at the time of this review, if you pay in cash. It’s in the Tendy, so brace yourself for seeing things, but for a quality sandwich that’s under $6, considering how everything in this town is, and has been for a while, insanely overpriced and expensive that overpriced things have become normalized, this last bastion of cheap good food in SF is one of the gems. The lady who helped me was super nice too.
They also ACTUALLY have some seating inside, which lots of hole-in-the-wall places don’t have anymore post-pandy.

My meatball bánh mì had very little actual meat and was mostly gravy-like sauce. There was no paté. It was $6, so it’s inexpensive, but I’ve seen older photos showing real Vietnamese meatballs, which wasn’t what I received. A bit disappointed since I had heard good things about this place. Hopping to different place next time.

I’ve been going all over the city trying to find the best banh mi for under $10. So far, this one takes the cake. Incredibly flavorful and fresh.

So I’ve been here on multiple occasions and they tend to always switch their prices when it’s time to pay!!! BEWARE: if you pay with card you’ll be charged an additional $1.50 rather then 0.50. When I brought this to their attention they stated it was taxes lmfao! You’re better off going to the place across the street where they’re more honest and the food quality is better. I will no longer be a customer here. I hate dishonest GREEDY owners.
Also, make sure you keep an eye when they make your food, the lady tends to handle money (cash) and doesn’t wash her hands afterwards!!!! She then will make your sandwich with her bare hands no gloves. Just nasty!!!!

These sandwich is good size and very tasty. You can’t beat the price at $5.50 with cash. They do accept credit card but that would bump this up to $1. Friendly owner. I was recommended the BBQ pork sandwich as it has lemongrass in it Would recommend!
