I have been craving banh mi for awhile so I dropped by to pick up one. I ordered a #6, which was combo with pork roll slices. Staff recommended it when I asked the difference between #1 and #6. They have a lot of other foods and snacks to choose from, but I only ordered the banh mi. I love that they put a ton of pickled carrots/daikon in it. It had ham, pate, pork roll slices, and mayo, as well as the standard cucumber and cilantro. I took out the jalapenos because I'm not a fan of raw peppers. My one thing is that the bread didn't seem fresh, maybe a little stale? I've definitely had better bread from other banh mi places but everything else was great and made for a satisfying bite. The crisp vegetables paired nicely with the meats and spread. I took a look around the store and saw that they have prepared lunch boxes, so I'll definitely be back to try those. Hopefully the bread is better too. Staff was nice and it didn't take long to get my food. All in all, for $7.50, it was a good lunch!

I've been here many times. I come here during the weekdays when Banh Mi Ba Le is not open. This place is probably the 2nd best banh mi spot on the East Bay. I still prefer Banh Mi Ba Le or places in San Jose. I've had their bbq pork and their vegetarian shredded tofu, both great. I got pad thai because I was curious and it was meh... I'm glad I only paid $3.50 for a small. Their pad thai is missing the tart and sweetness. It just tasted like it was stir fried in soy sauce. I didn't have tamarind paste at home to remake it to make it more authentic. So I stir fried it with a little bit of ketchup and sugar and it tasted more like pad thai.

My favorite thing to order is the combo sandwich and grilled chicken bun. Service is quick and the ladies who work here give big portions when you order a combo. I would be careful parking in this neighborhood as lots of windows get smashed. Ambiance is a typical Vietnamese grab and go spot. It has lots of options for snacks and quick finger foods.

Quality/Quantity - Special Combo with Pork Roll Slices - Good, my usual go to item.BBQ Chicken with Mayo - Got this for my wife, her usual go to item.Large Chow Mein - Been craving noodles...All of which were good. Nothing special, but good. Good solid food for reasonable prices.Also available are drinks, snacks, prepared foods, etc. See pictures.Also available are soups, rice plates, lunch specials.Catering is also available. I saw a separate line for catering pick up, and it was busy!Atmosphere - Good size location; it looks like they are expanding into next door...? See pictures. No restrooms; they had signs posted everywhere throughout. They must get asked this often.Street parking, good luck.Open 7 days a week from 7am to 6pm.Service - Again, nothing special. Good, not bad. Efficient, not friendly, but not rude.It was busy prime lunch time, but they were fairly organized. I also felt that most, if not all, of their customers were regulars, they all seemed to know where to stand and get in line, especially because they had minimum signage/directions.Price - $20.50, inexpensive in my opinion.2.8% charge to use a credit card. I paid cash.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1985 and with your two locations.

I tried their #1 Banh Mi, which is the original combo with ham, headcheese, pate, and mayo. It was really delicious, and the ingredients were fresh. The sandwich was packed with flavor and had the perfect balance of textures. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a tasty and affordable meal. At just $6.50 for a Banh Mi!

The bahn mi is tiny for the $7 price. I had a lemongrass tofu sandwhich and only the edge had a line of tofu. The sandwhich was all radish and carrots. They have a wide range of hot premade items and snacks. Street parking onlyExtra fee for using card.

I came here because Ba Le down the street is closed on weekends and randomly closed at times on weekends) Banh mi is very good, but Ba Le's is excellent -because of the better baguette, tashy uniform pickled veggies and they aren't chintzy on the pate.Would come again. Snack items galore. Service is friendly, fast. Ambiance - this is a take out joint on international blvd in Oakland.
