Dinosaurs

Great shaking beef banh mi! Bread is just right, shaking beef is tasty. Maybe I will ask for lighter mayo next time.

Hole in the wall spot for banh mi near castro station and right off of market. It's tucked into a little plaza that's easy to miss. No inside seating but they have a few tables outside. I got the special banh mi which comes with pork, cold cuts, and pâté -- my first time trying a banh mi with pate. It was pretty good and a huge portion! All the veggies were spilling out.Just one half was super filling. It was more expensive than the banh mis you can get in sunset/richmond though; after tip it was over $18. Good for a casual dinner if you're in the area. Quick service!

I came for the Vietnamese Iced Coffee; it was not good. Three strikes on this one: 1) The coffee tasted burnt and was not freshly-steeped (the cashier simply poured it out of a jug that had clearly been sitting out).2) The cup wasn't filled to the top. Look, I understand we're in tough economic times, and I also asked for less ice, but 1/8th of my drink was missing (see pic), and for the prices they charge (see #3), it's simply unacceptable.3). It cost $7. As with #2, I understand these are trying times. But if you're going to charge me this much for a cup of joe, at least brew it fresh and fill the damn cup to the top (see #'s 1 & 2)Unfortunately, I won't be coming back, and I suggest you don't waste your time or money either.

The bahn mis here are SO good. The Special bahn mi has it all- The bread is fresh and crispy, the veggies are fresh and pickled, the meat/pate is tasty and generously portioned. The Avocado smoothie is also smooth, creamy and delicious.Highly recommend this delicious gem in the Castro!

What a wonderful Viet spot! Their banh mis are delicious and they do not skimp on their ingredients. Spring rolls are well made and a great value when you get a set of 3. The only caveat was I've had much better Viet iced coffee. Service was quick and friendly. It's more of a take out place than a sit down but there's two or three tables outside.

I am someone who loves a lot of pickled veggies in my banh mis, and Dinosaurs really hit the spot! I got the Shaking Beef sandwich ($12.95), and the highlights were the amazing bread and bountiful veggies. My biggest pet peeve with Banh mis is when the bread is too hard and hurts to bite on/chew, but this one had perfectly crispy on the outside but soft interior texture. The beef was super flavorful as well.The sandwiches are all around the $13, and drinks were ~$7. Not super cheap, but overall solid and I'll be back to try the rolls/drinks! Seems like a dependable fast casual spot to pickup food for Dolores!The outside had about 3 tables that could seat ~10 people, and service was very sweet and fast.

It can be hard to stand out as a Bahn Mi shop in a city full of fantastic Vietnamese establishment, but Dinosaur has stolen my heart nonetheless. Definitely more geared to take out orders since there's not much seating available and the decor is utilitarian. I've always been satisfied with their prompt service. I've never had to wait longer than 10 minutes for my order so it's perfect if you''re in short on time and crave a huge, highly-customizable sandwich made with fresh ingredients.

Food is always amazing. I get the chicken bami every time with extra carrots.The service is A1. The ladies are always friendly, nice, and helpful.The ambiance is just a store front.

Still in love with this place, always consistent and it's become my standard Dolores Park lunch. Just messy enough for eating on the grass.Service is quick, but also wanted to flag that vegetarian friends do love their tofu sandwich. They also have a kare kare beef special these days.

Seems like a newer location..went with the shrimp rolls, and shaking beef banh mi. It was huge..prob more veggies than actual meet if that's your thing. I'd prefer more meat. Also went with the watermelon lychee smoothie which was raves about on Yelp but lackluster at best for me. The bits of lychee were off putting. Service was meh. The actual sandwich maker was nice and friendly. The lady taking the order wasn't. Prob won't return here.Banh mi is $13 btw..which seems pricey.
