Pretty solid banh mi. Like the other reviews said, there's a bit too much carrot for my taste. The bread is unique - it's crunchy and buttery, definitely not the traditional french baguette. However, I did enjoy the change of pace. The man making the sandwich was very kind and the service was fast. It satisfies my banh mi craving when I'm in the area!

It's the sauce! Everyone else is skimping on the sauce. The combination is one of the best I've had. The bread is a little different, more of a squared off roll with a fluffy inside, didn't hate it though ?.

It's a small place so the seatings were just by the window. There's only one person there when we went and he doesn't accept card as he prefers to stay traditional. As for the sandwich it was fine, quite big but a bit foo much carrot. I ordered the bbq pork one.

The bánh mì sandwiches had less meat than I anticipated; however, the barbecue chicken, and the barbecue pork were both tasty, and their bread is awesome! We also tried the fresh shrimp roll, which we thought was very good.We plan to go back when we're in the area.

Amazing banh mi--bread is still hot and fresh, and you can watch them prepare it right in front of you. Classic banh mi stop, great Vietnamese food, exactly the kind of place you'd want to take your friends to show off a great hole-in-the-wall find. Service was prompt and they customized our sandwiches to our needs. Note that they only take cash, so withdraw beforehand. Really great and affordable stop, perfect for a picnic lunch or dinner.

Very frugal.. for $8 on special pork, ham & pate, it is just mostly veggies. Can't return unless they change their sandwich maker. Not worth it. Bland & can't taste the pate nor the one thin slice if ham even i paid extra for this sandwich. Don't recommend this place at all. The bread is different.
My banh mi was essentially a tofu and carrot sandwich on a brioche bun. There was a sliver of cucumber and a slice of bland jalapeño. Unfortunately this was not a good sandwich. The bread was wrong (French baguette please!), the fillings lacked the flavor punch you'd normally get from a banh mi sandwich. My brother got the meatball version. He had the same comment!

Definitely coming back here! Growing up in east side San Jose, I miss the abundance of viet food and delis now that I'm in the city. We called to place an order to-go. Family-style service. He got the banh mi dac biet (combination) and I got the banh uot cha lua (steamed rice noodles with fancy pork). Overall banh mi was good. The bread could be better. The mayo inside was buttery and flavorful. I loved the noodles and cha lua, so simple but satisfying. Solid, affordable spot. It is far from where I'm at in SF but I will be back. Cash only btw!

Came here last month on a Thursday after a doc appt., they were closed. Made me really sad. Came back again on a Monday after another doc appt., they were closed! Came today, after picking up my niece for her bday, they're open!!!!Ordered my sandwiches, told the lady I'll be back in 10 mins, she said no problem!Ordered 2 combos, $6.95, total $15 (+tip).So damn bomb! I hope they never close.

One of my favorite banh mi places, consistently delicious, and always made with tons of care (e.g. bread always freshly toasted), super friendly owner as well!

Cash only local spot for banh mi, spring rolls, and other traditional dishes. The menu is limited, but the banh mi and spring rolls are top notch and great value.
