Mr Banh Mi

Not much to say about Mr Banh mi, but it's one of my favorite Banh mi places in the Bay. They're decently sized and affordable (though their prices have gone up from when I was a kid, due to inflation). Sadly, Mr Banh Mi is to-go orders only, since they've closed the sit-down area of the restaurant and it's now just a storefront.Try the combo pork with extra pate. The pork belly is also very good. They pack the sandwiches with meat, so you'll get your money's worth here.

After finishing up an errand in the neighborhood, I found myself trying to find a place that happened to still be open. A lot of the places in the area that I wanted to get food from were closed because it was a Monday or because it was after 3pm already. I saw the good reviews for Mr Banh Mi and was nervously excited to try this place since I love banh mis and the reviews here while mostly positive, some have mentioned that there are off days for the meats and sandwiches. I was especially nervous since it was the day before Christmas Eve and later in the day near closing time. I bit the bullet, called my order in and made my ways over. I pulled up and noticed a bunch of college kids at the bus stop eating their sandwiches and relief started washing over me. It has to be pretty good if there are still people grabbing a bite here this late in the day. The place has no seating and it's a grab and go spot, which we love since 90% of my dining is to go and I needed to charge my car on the way home. Tip selection reflected the nature of the business and to my surprise were 5/10/15% options. I'm a default middle button tipper or 18% tipper and even then I roll my eyes sometimes when the tip options head into the 30% range, especially if it's takeout. I got myself a bbq chicken banh mi and really wanted to get spring rolls but knew it would be too much food with a dinner plan approaching. The banh mi was perfect. The bbq chicken was sauced nicely and the meat was not too dry and not too wet, with the sauce, it almost had a bbq bao like consistency, not as traditional as your normal banh mis but definitely not unconventional. The sandwich was packed with vegetables. I normally get extra veggies at other places but another sigh of relief when I opened it up and saw it completely stuffed. The sandwich was so good, and I almost wished I had gotten the pork because I know that would have been phenomenal as well. The bread was still fairly fresh despite it being the end of day and had a nice crunch with the tear. The pictures don't really do it justice. It's too hard to show how big the portion is but at $10, it's well worth the price, especially if you're comparing it to the $6 banh mi you'd get at Saigon. They're way different sandwiches too. To wrap this up, I definitely will be back with a bigger appetite to go in on the other sandwiches and get the spring rolls, which also has a fairly diverse and unique lineup of bbq meats to chose from. One of the best banh mis in the city. Skip the Dinosaur by SFSU for this.

Delicious affordable reliable Bahn Mi .The tofu, bbq chicken and Bbq beef are phenomenal. I'm sure the other options areAlso great but I've yet to try them!

My family likes to go to Kim Son across the street and one day noticed this place across the street. I believe the owner has some relation to the business, so we decided to try it out since we love Kim Son's food!Bbq pork - 4/5, super flavorful pork! Didn't quite seem like your typical grilled pork, but I didn't mind. It still had that bbq pork flavor, which was very strong. Luckily, the pickled veggies helped tame the flavor. Combo - 4/5, fatty pork belly and sliced pork deli meat. Pretty good, I usually always get chicken but decided to try combos. Not too salty, but still tasted good. The different types of pork gave it a lot of texture, which I liked.Although these sandwiches were solid as is, I definitely think they could have added a thicker layer of mayo and paté. It was a very thin spread, and I personally like a generous amount.

Fresh and flavorful spring rolls with tender shrimp. The restaurant is airy and the service is attentive.

Yum! I got the BBQ Pork to go. Service was friendly and quick. And there was tons of space to wait. I took the sandwich to go. And it was great, the meat was flavorful, and the veggie and bread were fresh. I can't wait to come back to try the other varieties!

Searching up for some inexpensive eats and came across Mr. Banh Mi! So my bf and I decided to grab a few sandwiches here. VIETNAMESE HEADCHEESE SANDWICH ~ I love headcheese. because of its chew texture! Had to try this. With the headcheese, they add pâté spread and mayo. Pretty decent sized Banh Mi for $9! It had a good amount of pickled veggies as well as meat. I enjoyed the crispy toasted French roll too! Filled me for quite a while. 5/5BBQ PORK SANDWICH ~ My bf had this and enjoyed it! I took a bite and liked the BBQ pork. It really shines in the sandwich. 5/5Awesome sandwiches! We'll be back to try other things on the menu.

The banh mi here is perfectly packed with the Vietnamese classic ingredients! Surprisingly, the spring rolls were the best I've had in a while. You know it's an authentic when there's Vietnamese ladies in the back yelling at eachother. We got the OG banh mi and bbq springs rolls with the classic peanut sauce and took it to Golden Gate Park to enjoy!

I was in search for a Banh Mi and it was not just an ordinary Banh Mi but something different than the standard beef and pork. I was in the mood for seafood and I went and visit Mr. Banh Mi which offered the BBQ Fish sandwich. The BBQ Fish sandwich did pack a good punch like Rocky Balboa in the movie Rocky and it's located on Balboa street in San Francisco. The BBQ fish was so tender with a little marinate juice to it from the ingredients between the buns. Each bite was a little different and tasty and it may have been the contribution of the veggies. Then there was the fried panko shrimp. It was good a little crumbing but for less than $10 is a good value. It had good pieces of shrimp. The store has no seating but Mr. Banh Mi is a stand up place for good Banh Mi. I was trying to look for Mr. Banh Mi but at no avail. I didn't even see Mrs. Banh Mi either. Although it's Summer and soon to be Autumn this place also offers Spring rolls. This place is a pick up spot for Vietnamese Banh Mi and has good meritThis place is a shining gem for Banh Mi with cilantro, jalapeño and lots of carrot

When I see patrons STANDING OUTSIDE PATIENTLY waiting for their order to be presented, AND it's banh mi; it's a must stop for me!Firstly, this is a walk-up spot without seating. For me that was not an issue since I like to walk and snack when I'm visiting a new place or part of a town. The space is super clean and has an organized kitchen area. The attendant arrived at the cash point quickly and took my order which was a BBQ chicken banh mi. I added a milky code when I saw the shelf lined with Cafe Du Monde chicory blend. I then took my place on curb in front of the cafe along with another customer who is a local. When I asked what his favorites were, he quickly said the tofu and barbecue chicken (made me smile!).Folks the banh mi and coffee were truly exceptional!
