Solid 4 stars! I'm sad I only discovered this place today. My husband mentioned it used to be his go-to spot when he worked in the area, and he always got the lemongrass chicken with rice (which comes with a small salad and jalapeños). The flavors are on point, and it feels healthy since the chicken is grilled.I ordered the pork banh mi, and I really enjoyed the sandwich. It was slightly on the sweeter side, but the overall flavor profile was good. The bread wasn't TOO hard, which is always a plus! (It wasn't incredibly soft either)I'll definitely be coming back again. Sad I forgot to take a picture, but I'll update my review with one next time!

I was in the mood for a banh mi & ended up walking here based on a Yelp search for Banh Mi when I was at my hair appointment on Broadway & Capuchino St & it was a little farther than anticipated. It was my first solid meal of the day so I was famished when I arrived. As another Yelper said, service is practically non-existent as there is an iPad device to enter your order and no one to speak with. I ordered my Vietnamese ham sandwich and a Thai iced tea. After about 15 minutes, I heard my name called. A guy brought out my sandwich & tea & that was the only interaction with an employee.The Vietnamese ham sandwich featured a perfectly crispy bun, with ham & steamed pork, pickled daikon & cilantro. I requested no jalapeño because I'm allergic. Overall, it was a pretty good sandwich & I wolfed it down. My Thai iced tea was pretty good too.

Came here looking for some Vietnamese coffee and after seeing the high star rating, we had high hopes. We ordered off of a kiosk and the employee who handed us the drink was friendly. However, the coffee was very strong, even for viet coffee and had a weird taste in my opinion

One of the more fast casual options in downtown Burligame. Saw their menu and was drawn by the pricing. Extremely affordable in comparison to all the other food shops around. I love me a good deal. Menu options include curries, banh mi, noodles, etc. A few tables & chairs to dine in. There was no one there to greet us. Just a self serve ipad. Self explanatory & user friendly. We ordered their curries, one with veggies, the other with dumplings and the garlic noodles with fried tofu. The curry tastes like the boxed curry with 2 pcs of carrots and one chunk of potato. It was almost non existent. Came with a (cold) hard boiled egg on the side. Dumplings were okay. The garlic noodles are good. Have to eat them fast because it dries up rather quickly. Food took a while to be ready. $12-15 for an entree. Service was mediocre. But for the price, it'll do.

This has really gone down, waaaay down. Had a craving for a banh mi & went here today. Got a lemongrass chicken with pate and a chicken karaage curry with egg. Someone needs to tell them Japanese curry is not sauce witha mountain of dry curry powder slopped onto it. And the banh mi--if there was any chicken it, I'd needed a microscope. Not good at all, and the lack of pickled veggies, despite I ordered extra ... the baguette was fresh but that was about it. Never going back.

Solid no frills cafe in downtown Burlingame. Not the best but if I'm craving a banh mi in the peninsula Cherimoya on the "cheaper" side I'll come here. There's also mordisko banh mi in San Mateo but their banh mis are smaller and more expensive. Haven't tried their other dishes but they also serve spring rolls, garlic noodles and Japanese curry.

First off let me say the service is non existent. I placed my order on the iPad outside and it literally took them half an hour and me ringing the bell multiple times to get my drink and food.How are you going to stay in business when there are no customers in line and you're not even preparing the food or answering your Google doorbell?Okay let's talk about their lackluster curry bowl and horrible lemonade.Not a fan of either.The rice curry tastes like something that as mildly warmed up in the microwave with cheap curry aftertaste and the lemonade was just sugar water and didn't have a nice acidic balance. I would have been better getting lemonade from Trader Joe's.I'm not sure how this place stays in business when they're always closed and when they are open they just don't care.

I walked in because of their garlic noodles and left satisfied. The order took awhile, but it wasn't an issue.Will return for their noodles.

Have been going to this place since it's first location. Since day 1, the owner remembered my face and has not forgotten since. I go there so often I feel like family ! Their food is incredible and cooked very well . From the banh mi's to the vermicelli's , everything is so well done. They have a lovely iPad you can order from and get your order within minutes! I will forever support and continue to eat here .. he knows I love extra cilantro

So we have walked by this place a few times and we wanted to check it out. It is very much "fast food" looking and we sat next to an obnoxious young woman who thought it was appropriate to have her video chat during her meal with us sitting right next to her - so not exactly upscale. The food was decent but not exceptional and the experience was lacking any ambiance at all.
