Great sandwiches, they take extra care in making sure you have a nicely wrapped sandwich. Keeps everything crispy and warm. This is a takeout spot. Owners are warm and friendly.

We went here to get some banh mi as we were nearby and saw that it was the only place in that part of San Mateo. We had the #1 and #2 sandwiches.+ Service was prompt- Sandwiches were average. I know the owners are vietnamese so the only reason why the banh mi are this way is they have to cater to their customers - non vietnamese who don't know any better and probably can't handle the authentic ingredients for truly authentic vietnamese food.And they charge $11+ for banh mi. I understand inflation, yadda yadda, but damn, i ain't paying that for a average banh mi that is so watered down, a San Mateo hipster can eat it.

Update: Vegan pho has been brought back! Owners mentioned it was by popular request, and they also have a spicy noodle soup that's vegan. Happy to hear it's made a comeback.
Old review:
Unfortunately they no longer do vegan pho but don't seem interested in updating their banner or menu to reflect that. Bahn mi is only vegan with mayo removed, and so it's quite dry. Isn't the worst meal in a pinch but generally a bit disappointing.

Their Banh Mi's are great. They have one vegetarian and one egg based sandwich. Everything is freshly cut and it literally melts in your mouth.Every Banh Mi comes with a small side of chips which is great!Not much seating except 1 table outside so you might be better off taking it to go.Vegetarian options: They have one vegetarian and one egg based sandwich.

Amazing banh mi sandwiches! And the little bag of chips is always appreciated :) This is our go-to place for banh mi since we haven't found anything else on the peninsula that compares. The location is great for picking up food and then eating in Central Park.
Great Baugh mi- crisp and fluffy bread, good balance of meat and veggies. Great option for mid peninsula. Lovely family run business. Go to for picnic in the

I love the banh mi sandwiches here! My favorite is the grilled pork, but sometimes I go with the tofu, which is also delicious.
