    Their 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.

    Good 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.

    Crispy tofu sandwich is delicious. Topped with cauliflower relish, no mayo needed.

    Tried 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

    Mama 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.

    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.

    Pork banh mi is a little pricier than your traditional hole in the wall, tasty and good quality.

    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.

    Caramel citrus bowl ruined me for all other Vietnamese food. Amazing fusion ideas here.

    Smokey eggplant sandwich is flavorful but greasy because of the deep fried eggplant.

    Caramel bowl w/ lemongrass pork, pickled daikon, & brown rice. So good, jalapeños are a perfect compliment.

    Spot the Belly Bun on Foodspotting's Heard About SF Guide...but you must try the Caramel Citrus Rice Bowl (delicious white garlic rice)

    Love 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.

    Go with the pork belly sandwich and ask for extra cilantro + jalapeños. Best post drinking dish ever.

    Salt & Pepper Garlic fries are the best here, addictive and spicy. Was the meal down with their iced coffee.

    The sandwiches taste great, but they aren't very filling, so be sure to order the garlic or sweet potato fries.

    Try the Grilled Pork Bahn Mi - I prefer this bread to Num Pang's crustier bread in New York City!

    They use the wrong kind of baguette. It's too much like a French loaf than the ultra-light Vietnamese style.

    Good because the ingredients are top notch. However there are better Banh mi joints in the tenderloin.

    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.
