I got the combo banh mi, and it was delicious and hit the spot. The portion was huge as well. The flavors in the banh mi were great, everything was fresh, and tasted amazing.

So good! Found this spot when I was in the Town and craving a banh mi. I ordered the combo and a bbq pork. Both did not disappoint. Tastes super fresh - meat, veggies and bread were on par with b mi’s in SJ. I hope they continue to make amazing food like this. As long as they do, I will be a frequent customer. The East Bay needs more delicious Viet spots like this.

I just started working here nearby. The food is great. To me, the portions are great and reasonably priced. Will be back for more.

Yes, the place looks like a plain little cafeteria, but the food is out of this world, and legit in a regional way that I have not experienced before. Seriously. Cannot recommend highly enough. The juice blends alone are worth a trip out of your way.

Got the grilled chicken banh mi/vietnamese sandwich and it was excellent! Easily the best banh mi I've had, and it was only 10 bucks. I'm 100% going back here if I'm in Oakland again.

This place serves up excellent Vietnamese sandwiches, the kind that make you want to come back. Unfortunately, everything else makes you think twice. The surrounding area is rundown, with graffiti and frequent disturbances just outside. Inside, the cafe is no better: dirty tables, buzzing flies, and a staff that seems more interested in chatting with each other than helping customers. During my visit, my order was “forgotten,” and I waited 15 minutes while others were served ahead of me. It’s a shame the service and atmosphere don’t live up to the quality of the food. With a little effort, this place could be a gem; instead, it’s a frustrating mixed bag.

Great value and taste but atmosphere needs a lot of work. Need to change out chairs and tables to make it more hospitable.

Great spot to stop and grab a late breakfast or lunch. The green smoothie I got was delicious!! Made with almond milk too. I'll definitely be back to try more drinks. 😋🧉

We got the croissant breakfast sandwich and the shrimp spring rolls. To start the croissant was amazing if you are going to get one thing here you can not go wrong with this sandwich. The spring rolls were a miss they were not bad just had way too much mint and cilantro to be able to taste any of the other parts. The service here could definitely be improved. There were six people working but it seemed that only two had any idea about what was going on or what needed to be done.
