    I stopped by on a Monday afternoon, and was the only customer in the store. I love that they charge $5.50 for a chicken banh mi. It seems like all the other banh mi places in the Bay Area charge outrageously for $10+, and this is one of the last few decently-priced banh mi places. The ladies working here are really nice old ladies. They even asked me if I want jalapeño in my sandwich, and left me alone to eat in peace when I sat at one of the tables enjoying my fresh and crispy banh mi sandwich.

    One of the few places to get banh mi sandwiches in the area. They recently changed from buy 3 get one free to buy 4 and get $2 off. Still, it's a good deal to get 4 sandwiches for $20. We got the combo, the special, the pork, and the chicken sandwich. The bread was nicely crusty, and the fillings flavorful. Unfortunately, the pandemic and the current economic climate seems to have taken a toll on this business as they seem to have fewer employees working, so wait times for sandwiches can be long.
