AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014Their Vietnamese sandwiches are just spicy enough, with the right amount of filling at the right price. They also have great salads & sweet potato fries with curry aioli. Read more
Vegetarian tofu banh mi is underwhelming. If you're looking for a vegetarian banh mi get the cauliflower one.
Hot damn I love their sandwiches. Great prices. And the fries are fantastic. Love this joint. Get the tofu!
Sharon PithawallaDecember 14, 2018Good veggie options. I like the tofu sandwich more than the eggplant. The salt and pepper garlic fries with sliced jalapeños are good. Also a pretty decent Vietnamese coffee.
ajNovember 2, 2015Tried the catfish recently; it was meh. My go-to is the Combo bahnmi. jalapeno's are a must or youre weak!! just dont go here if youre after authenticity--i suggest Saigon Sandwich in the tenderloin
BommyJune 22, 2015Crispy tofu sandwich is delicious. Topped with cauliflower relish, no mayo needed.
MihaelaJuly 16, 2013Mama Tran's crispy egg rolls and the bun noodle bowl are very tasty and filling, the limeade is a bit too sweet and sour though. Good atmosphere and music.- Amit PanchlJune 9, 2013Sloppy bun with a fried egg is a must try... Side of sweet potatoe fries with curry mayo is delicious. Cool spot
Brian LongtinNovember 5, 2014Pork banh mi is a little pricier than your traditional hole in the wall, tasty and good quality.- BommySeptember 13, 2016Smokey eggplant sandwich is flavorful but greasy because of the deep fried eggplant.
Rose ADecember 31, 2011Spot the Belly Bun on Foodspotting's Heard About SF Guide...but you must try the Caramel Citrus Rice Bowl (delicious white garlic rice)- Vegetarian sandwich is good (eggplant and cauliflower). The vegetarian salad is ok. Everything else vegetarian has a very strange taste. The combination of flavor is just odd.
Salt & Pepper Garlic fries are the best here, addictive and spicy. Was the meal down with their iced coffee.
Eric MaltzerJanuary 6, 2015Caramel citrus bowl ruined me for all other Vietnamese food. Amazing fusion ideas here.
The salt and pepper fries are to die for. I love the tofu sandwich too.
- Aaron DraczynskiNovember 27, 2012The sandwiches taste great, but they aren't very filling, so be sure to order the garlic or sweet potato fries.
Vaibhav VermaJuly 18, 2014Great place for doing work. The Cable Wi-Fi wireless network is super fast in here
Caramel bowl w/ lemongrass pork, pickled daikon, & brown rice. So good, jalapeños are a perfect compliment.
JoshSeptember 11, 2011Love the food. The sandwiches could use more meat. They offer more protein for $2.50, but seems like you should get enough for the base price.
Love their Grilled Pork sandwich. Get it hot! Also their papaya noodle salad is also quite tasty.
Amy CaoFebruary 5, 2012Try the Grilled Pork Bahn Mi - I prefer this bread to Num Pang's crustier bread in New York City!
Give the rice bowls a try! The caramel citrus rice bowl with brown rice and grilled tofu is topped with fresh avocado, beansprouts, orange, and grapefruit, and is mighty good.
VernaNovember 18, 2012Go with the pork belly sandwich and ask for extra cilantro + jalapeños. Best post drinking dish ever.
Get the belly bun! The five spice chicken bun is excellent as well :)
Justin HilemanMay 16, 2013The Sloppy Bun with a fried egg is a four napkin sandwich. Deliciously sloppy.
Patrick SAugust 28, 2015They use the wrong kind of baguette. It's too much like a French loaf than the ultra-light Vietnamese style.
Jillian PattonApril 2, 2013Food is DELICIOUS and the chocolate coconut cookies are almost orgasm inducing
Robby AbayaApril 16, 2011The pork belly with hard boiled egg was delicious! I hear it's also good with a sunny side up egg.
George KurtykaJuly 3, 2012Good because the ingredients are top notch. However there are better Banh mi joints in the tenderloin.
strawberry lychee lemonade and caramel citrus bowl with tofu! a must.
Aris GonzalesSeptember 29, 2014The Saigon Peanut Bowl with Garlic Rice was so so. I would go with a Sandwich.
Genevieve RiceJune 23, 2011The smoky eggplant banh mi is a treasure. Also, don't be a wuss; go for the spicy.
The tofu here is surprisingly good. As in no-part-of-me-wishes-this-was-meat good.
It's such a cute lil fun place but very disappointed to learn that everything, and I mean everything has fish sauce - even in veggie sandwich or salad. Wish I knew before I ate :( Dislike completely.
John WhippleOctober 29, 2011Great sandwiches, I don't recommend the iced coffee though, very sweet and rich
Lena KiddDecember 24, 2015The sweet potato fries were good, but banh mi sandwiches were a disappointment. We got the 5spice chicken and sloppy.
