Get the Summer Rolls!! Amazing. Fresh. Friendly.
Really enjoy the wonton soup and cozy atmosphere
Great service, great food, great amounts and prices
Best huge and fresh banh mi on the West side of the lake! They take card and offer healthy juices, smoothies, and amazing breakfast wraps or Vietnamese banh mi. Stopped by for some late lunch and was so glad I got the grilled chicken banh mi. So flavorful! Their smoothies are all amazing blends, good consistency. Small size is 16oz and it's perfect for one. High quality and healthy, plus affordable! Fresh and Best is def on my go-to list
Best Bahn Mi in Oakland. Sandwiches are large and really fairly priced. Highly recommend their Lemon Grass Seitan (no pate).
dare i say the best vegetarian banh mi i've ever had (i'm talking about the spicy lemongrass seitan)
Great banhmi and sandwiches! The filling is very full and the size is big for the price, an amazing deal. Everything was fresh, the pickled veggies were perfect, the bread was not too crunchy, and the ratio was very good.
Ive also had the salad before, which was just as amazing.
The Banh Mi is what brought me here — and is well worth it!
I work as an Amazon Delivery Driver and sometimes I forget to pack a lunch. I asked my co-workers of several great spots to eat in Oakland and one of the recommendations was this restaurant.
“The food is jam-packed with meat and is so tasty,” my co-worker said. He was on-point.
My favorite meal to get is the Pork Banh Mi. The sandwich is jam-packed with pickled veggies and meat. The meat melts in my mouth and I leave feeling full for the price of $11.
Would totally recommend to anyone if you like a quick on-the-go and delicious Banh Mi 😋
I’ve been going here for the past three years and it has never disappointed me. The food here is fresh and delicious. The sandwiches are incredible, I love the pâté they use and the fact that there’s tons of vegetables in each sandwich. The sandwiches and portions are generous. Highly recommend the vermicelli bowl, it’s like two meals in one! The smoothies are great too, I still have yet to replicate them in my own kitchen. Get the Tropical Green Smoothie or if ginger isn’t for you, the Green Smoothie No 1 never disappoints.
Fresh food! Real French bread. Creative smoothies. Nice counter help. A neighborhood gem. Check it out.

An excellent choice for lunch, and breakfast. Sometimes they have a rush during lunch so I call my order in ahead. They cut up fresh veggies and fruit right there on the spot. Affordable prices too. I go 1-2x per week. I recommend the egg sandwich (add avo), the Vietnamese salad with chicken and the tuna sandwich.
One of my favorite lunch spots in downtown Oakland. My wife and I usually split a chicken avocado wrap or a coconut pork banh mi plus a vietnamese iced coffee (yes, the portions are big). It's one of the best values in the area and the food is always tastes super fresh just as their name suggests. I always leave a tip for the hard working Vietnamese aunties and I hope you do too.
They served up a PACKED banh mi, one of the best cold cuts I’ve had in the Bay. Veggies also had a great bite and it was such a steal for just $11 incl tax. Will have to revisit
This is my favorite place for lunch. The food here is always so good and fresh.
Their banh mi and breakfast croissant are big and yummy! The summer rolls are also really good, especially when it's hot out.
Fair warning, they do get busy around lunch time on some days, but that just shows how good their food really is!
I have had a lot of vegetarian banh mis and these are my favorite (especially the tofu and mushroom). They are flavorful, jam-packed and made with high-quality bread. Also a great spot for a breakfast sandwich, and my wife swears by the smoothies. Everyone is very friendly. The one downside is that it can be a long wait during lunch hours, so maybe not the best spot if you're in a hurry. Worth the wait!
