Love it when I come across a cute, good Vietnamese sandwich shop in the city! I really appreciate the service and hospitality from the auntie & uncle. Ordered two cà phê sữa đá with extra condensed milk, but the uncle convinced me to try one without the extra condensed milk and I'm glad I did! Also ordered my go-to Vietnamese bánh mì, đặc biệt :) It was delicious! Reminds me of home! Bon appetite! read more

Oh, joy of joys. Wouldn't you know it? Yet another banh mi joint has miraculously graced us with its presence in the Inner Richmond. Because if there's one thing this city was desperately, agonizingly starved for, it was more Vietnamese food. The outlook? Just blindingly bright. A real heartwarming, fuzzy little gesture to the neighborhood. They dropped this thing right next to Mel's Diner--because nothing screams "culinary synergy" quite like neon Americana, soggy crinkle-cut fries, and a crusty baguette stuffed with liver pâté and pickled daikon. Let's not kid ourselves: finding a decent Vietnamese meal in this town isn't exactly a grueling, heroic trek through the uncharted wilderness. It's practically a sport. But hey, it's always good to "promote." And absolutely nothing stirs the capitalist soul quite like a little friendly, cutthroat competition, wouldn't you say? I value a good Vietnamese meal. Hell, so does my wife. We're practically ready to receive medals for our deep, profound appreciation. But the real stroke of unadulterated, maniacal genius here? The strategic placement next to the weed dispensary. Literally right next door. You have to marvel at the sheer, predatory brilliance of the economic ecosystem at play. It's a safe bet for anyone looking to completely surrender their weekend. You walk in, score some high-grade bud, and then--propelled by the inevitable, ravenous hand of the munchies--you stumble next door to grab a couple of pork sandwiches on your way home to the couch. It's a beautifully efficient, viciously orchestrated trap. A genuinely good deal for the stoned and hungry. Now, as for parking? It's an absolute, unmitigated nightmare. It's the Inner Richmond; if you expected an easy spot, you're delusional. But on the off-chance you actually possess working limbs and are up for the terrifying, radical prospect of a physical walk, park somewhere deep in the residential grid and take a stroll. Trust me, the cardio won't kill you--even if the traffic might. read more

The bread is light, crispy and does not cut your mouth. The sandwich itself could use a few extra slices of meat. Ice coffee was good. Overall, I'd get a sandwich if nearby. Def wouldn't go out of my way though. read more

4.5 STARS Ask a Viet OG in the city: "Where can I get the most legit bánh mì in the city?" (Spoiler: It's not the wildly popular Saigon Sandwich. While I grew up on their bánh mì and it's a great value, the baguette they use is all wrong.) Answer: Sing Sing Yeaaaars ago, a Viet OG put me on to Sing Sing deep in the TL. He told me their bánh mì are just like the ones back home in Vietnam. When you enter, there's groups of Viet uncs sitting in green plastic lawn chairs chilling and socializing while sipping on their cà phê sữa đá. And, they brought a piece of their TL space to their new space in Laurel Heights/Inner Richmond...those green plastic lawn chairs! Their new space has more seating (8 tables plus window counter seats), much easier street parking, restroom available, and they take CC! And, they remain super wallet-friendly with all their bánh mì: $8 and their cà phê sữa đá: $4. Buy 5 bánh mì, get one free. TIP: Request the veggies/pickled carrots on the side. They'll put them in a baggie so your bánh mì doesn't get soggy. Warm 'em up in the air fryer or toaster oven...lunch for the week, done. F O O D * Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt - Special Combo Cold Cut w/ extra pâté ($8): https://tinyurl.com/3225uvja The toasted baguette has a thin, shatteringly crispy crust with an airy soft interior that's been hollowed out. It's filled with two slices of pork belly, chả (steamed pork sausage), headcheese, pork floss, smear of pâté, creamy viet egg mayo, pickled carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeno....finished with a dash of maggi seasoning and black pepper. All the ingredients were fresh and the cold cuts weren't salty and heavily processed. The fillings could have been layered more evenly but it hit ALL the notes of rich, savory, tangy, and sweet with light spicy kick. S E R V I C E Friendly. There's only one auntie making bánh mì so it may take some time if there's a line. If you're dining in, they'll bring your bánh mì to you and you pay at the register when you're finished. Overall, I'm glad to see Sing Sing reemerge as Bánh Mì A Mui. If you're craving a legit bánh mì, def hit up this humble mom and pop shop. read more

Banh Mi A Mui - Cross-section: Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt - Special Combo Cold Cut w/ extra pâté ($8) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Newly opened Banh Mi place on Geary in the Laurel/Inner Richmond/Lone Mountain area. This place used to be Just Futon and that closed a while ago, so now it's a banh mi place. Right across the street from Mel's! Banh mi a mui may be related to Sing Sing Sandwich shop formerly in the TL, but I can't be certain. We recently came by to try their Banh Mi sandwiches. The prices are so budget friendly! Incredibly reasonable at $8. Not sure if this price is sustainable, but wow, let's support local so we can have a great sandwich place with such an amazing price! Both the Bánh mì đặc biệt and the Tofu Bánh mì were delicious. Filled with protein, fresh veggies and herbs. Small menu with just a few banh mi selections, but definitely quality. Spacious, clean and comfy interior to eat in and/or take out. Only negative on this recent visit is maybe they are new and still working on how to take orders and making sandwiches as the ordering was slightly chaotic. Even after we ordered, they skipped over us and gave our sandwiches to some people after us and then realizing what happened, they made our sandwiches again, but the bread was half toasted because they were rushing. My suggestion is to take the order, let customers pay, and then assign a number so that everyone is assigned the number in an orderly manner. Or if possible, use TOS so that customers can order on the tablet and they can concentrate on making sandwiches. However I know this can add more expenses for them, but if this support their increased sales in the future, it may be something they can look into. Located on Geary and Beaumont Ave. read more

Crispy, toasted but not too mouth cutting iykyk. Appreciate that the Banh mi was cut in half without asking for. Special combo was flavorful with the marinated pork floss as well the typical cha luo and pork belly cold cuts. Meats weren't overly salty. Veggies and herbs were fresh but wish they packed more It's $8 for any of their 5 viet sandwiches. They're still having their buy 5 get 1 free grand opening deal so made use of that! Never had sing sing back in TL but I've heard of it so I'm happy to get to try it now. Service is a little slow though. Plus was a little disappointed that people who came in to order after me were able to get theirs first read more

Banh Mi A Mui - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I always in a hunt for a good sandwich . One of my favorite types of sandwich is the Banh Mi. San Francisco has lots of places now which offers Banh Mi in almost every neighborhood in the city. You can find Banh Mi to be more favorable and have better nutritional value than most delis sandwiches and also less costly. There is a newer Banh Mi place which just opened this year in the city and its located on Geary boulevard in San Francisco. On a Spring stroll in a cool breeze and with sun out on Geary boulevard I landed at Banh Mi A Mui. Inside there are lots of flowers and plants and a few tables available to dine in. They have a minimalist menu but what stood out was the Vietnamese Head Cheese Sandwich also known as Banh Mi Gio Thu. I had never had cheese in my Banh mi but I soon found out there was no dairy or cheese in the Head Cheese Banh Mi. I thought this sandwich would be cheesy like some deli's in SF. I am glad I ordered it because it was savory and delicious. The baguette was soft and the vegetables were fresh. The meat was soft and overall it was better than expected. This is my new spot to grab a head cheese in SF. When it comes to sandwich and for" Don Juan "for me it's the "Banh" which means bread in Vietnamese and bread in India it's known as "Naan"and in Latin America and in Spanish is also known as "pan"( pronounced in Spanish as Pahn) On Spring stroll in SF enjoy the sun and the "breeze" grabbing one of my favorite sandwiches which is the Banh mi which is "Vietnamese" it may get unwanted crumbs and flakes like some in SF if you give the bread too hard of a "squeeze""this is the first time in SF trying the "Head Cheese" read more

Banh Mi A Mui aka Sing Sing holds such a **special** place in my heart. Growing up in the Tenderloin, this OG sandwich shop was part of the neighborhood I knew and loved, and I'm happy to sing its praises. After 30 years in the Tenderloin, the challenges of operating there finally became too much. While it's bittersweet to see it leave the old neighborhood, I'm so grateful it's carrying on at this new location. That familiar mix of flavors still brings me right back to the good old days. A heartfelt thank-you to the husband-and-wife team behind this little family business. The love and care you put into working together shine through in the food and coffee. And the coffee still tastes just the way John has always made it. More than just a sandwich and a cup of coffee--it's a little piece of home. read more

Been on a tour of all the banh mi places in Richmond and was excited to try. The meats were definitely sliced thin. I like my meats a little thicker cut to taste it. The bread was not bad, although it was a little crunchier than I prefer. The flavor was good, but I do wish there was a little more filling overall. Next time going to ask for extra pate. For the neighborhood, the price is good and probably one of the cheapest options. Just keep in mind that there's only one person working, so if you come during the lunch rush, the line and wait can get pretty long (waited 30 min). I came on a Wednesday and they were already sold out around 12:30-1 PM, so I'd recommend going earlier if you want to make sure you get one. read more

Was on my morning walk when I noticed that the corner banh mi spot finally had opened today(05/11/2026). Walked in and was warmly welcomed by the staff/owners. The interior was brightly light with a few tables spread through and also counter seating as well. A decently big space fitting maybe 30-40 people. The counter has a cooler where you can see the meats and packaged cha lua in front. There is an open kitchen behind the counter. I placed my ordered and it came out super fast. They currently have a promo like many other Banh mi spots where if you buy 5, you get one free. I ordered a Black Ice Coffee and a Special Combo Banh Mi to go. 1) Black Ice Coffee(7/10)($4) - The staff did warn me that the black coffee was very strong, which is to my liking. It's a strong black coffee with earthy notes and a bit bitter. You get a small cup and it does wake you up for sure. A kin to an espresso shot but a bit less smooth. 2) Special Combination/Dac Biet Banh Mi(7.1/10)($8) - A very good banh mi. The ratio of meats/fillings to bread was really good, didn't feel overly bready and it was a good balance. I personally prefer a bit more pickled veggies and cilantro as it keeps it from feeling too heavy and a slightly less sweeter cha siu/cured pork.The bread was decent - had a crunchy exterior and decent fluffiness. Comes with your typical filling of steamed pork(cha lua), head cheese(gio thu), cured pork(Thit Nguoi), Pork Floss(cha bong), pate, pickled veggies and jalapeños. Overall, a decent Banh mi and for the price of $8, it was super affordable in the city! It won't wow or rival those in San Jose, but still very good especially for a quick lunch that won't break the bank! read more

Guess what?I got there 8:40 am Saturday and they were not open. A car with people inside parked in front and they smiled and shrugged. They were waiting. I had to leave without my black coffee. I was so looking forward to one. Beware. When I went by around 2:30 pm the Open sign was lit. Another attempt, Sunday at 11:30 am, open. Quite a few people sitting. Vietnamese music blasting. I ordered tofu sandwich $8 and black coffee (Vietnamese coffee) cheap for $4. Sat down and waited. I was going to plant myself and eat in like everyone else. The sandwich was brought to me with coffee in a glass. I haven't eaten like a civilized person for a long time. Other places have no sit down. This was really enjoyable. The music was turned down. Coffee was great with ice cubes. Sandwich had jalapeños pepper. I usually take out but it was crunchy and added to the flavor. Tofu was thick flat kind. Sandwich was delicious. The owner explained why they close early. Once they sell out at 1 pm they just close. Good explanation. In terms of why they didn't open yesterday morning, no explanation. They were nice. I paid my $12 and left. What a steal! Saw some weekend bicyclists waiting for their sandwiches. I can see this place as a regular visit. Im super excited that they opened. read more

Somehow my man knew that one of his favorite banh mi shops in the TL reopened up under a different storefront - he didn't know what it was called or where exactly it was located. So we looked up a few places and still didn't know.. We ended picking this place for banh mi just cause not knowing it would be the same owner until I got to talking to the owner, she had that place for 33 years. It's hard to find Vietnamese establishments here - there is a phlethora of melting pots within the Vietnamese/Vietnamese-American community of different dispora groups. The banh mis were good - I normally don't like getting dac biet - but my man's dac biet banh mi was really good; got the cha lua - Vietnamese Silky Ham. I highly recommend the dac biet. We took our banh mis to the park. - Service was great, owners/workers super cute and friendly. read more

A great new addition to the neighborhood. The menu is simple: pick your banh mi and wait at one of the tables or counter. Staff is friendly and explained that they relocated from another long-time location after that building was sold. We had a chicken and a tofu banh mi, both were tasty with fresh bread and a generous amount of filling. For $8, it is hard to go wrong. Next time I want to try the iced coffee, it looked delicious. read more

Banh Mi A Mui - Menu and priced as of 5/2026 - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm into it. Clean, no frills, quick service. What more could you ask for? How about $8 sandwiches with no tax? Made to order with soft, yet crunchy bread and brimming with meat and pickled veg. It won't be the most groundbreaking banh mi that you'll have, but it definitely won't break the bank. The number 1 (combo) is my go to, and if you're a Viet coffee person, this place seems to churn out a good one. read more

My friend highly recommended this new shop in the neighborhood and it did not disappoint! The owner is a very sweet lady with a tidy, spacious restaurant serving a variety of banh mi and drinks. I tried the #4 chicken banh mi and enjoyed the well toasted baguette and delicious fillings! Dining in was fun to rest and hear the Vietnamese elders chatter in the background. read more

Overall, it's the second best authentic Vietnamese banh mi shop in San Francisco. read more

Banh Mi A Mui - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I ordered a Combo banh mi. & many slices of combo meat was missing compared to a banh mi in San Jose or elsewhere. This place does not give the sweet white radish. The Combo was incredibly bland & i couldn't taste the pate. Overall, a waste of money & never returning nor recommended. Total disappointment. I see the owner gave a large dog belonging to another customer after me six slices of white pork. I guess the dog was luckily than me if i had jumped on her counter!!! read more

Banh Mi A Mui - Combo ... many meat missing including white sweet radish - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Was walking across the street and saw the grand opening sign. Decided to walk in and was not disappointed. The menu is simple and priced great for SF standards. I ordered the #1 (Special combination Banh Mi) and a Vietnamese iced coffee cold (you can get it hot as well). The bread was really fresh and the coffee tasted great. I'm sure you can't go wrong ordering anything here. We ordered and sat then they brought out our items. Plenty of seating and music playing in the background, very clean environment as well. They even included free tea! Overall I'd recommend if you're in the area and craving a bahn mi or a Vietnamese coffee! read more

Went here a couple of times after work. Their sign states that they close at 6:00 pm. Yet, both times that we went here around 4:30 pm, they were closed. I called them to ask about their hours, and they rudely told me to get there earlier, as they usually close whenever they feel like it. What a way to run a business. I still haven't tried their sandwiches, and probably never will, because of their rudeness and early closures. If they keep this up, they will close permanently. Just checked. They changed their closing time to 4:00 pm. Probably had too many complaints. read more

Noticed this place had popped up recently and finally had a chance to try it today. We tried the special (no. 1) and the chicken, as well as an iced Vietnamese coffee. Everything was delicious and good portions / great value for SF. Even better, the people running the shop were really nice and provided excellent service. We ordered takeout but noticed there was plenty of nice, clean seating inside. We will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Recommended by a friend and was in the area. Parking is pretty easy, metered street parking or I guess you can park in the Mel's diner lot, just across the street. Staff was friendly and place clean. Order 2 sandwiches, #1 combo and #2 pork patty. The jalapeños hit the spot with these sandwiches! There was some meat in the combo that was a tad dry, but I found the sandwiches very tasty overall. Price is good for SF. Currently running a grand opening deal of buy 5 sandwiches get one free. $20 for 2 sandwiches and a Vietnamese coffee! Would def be back to try the other sandwiches! read more

Omg I'm so happy I found the old sing sing in TL. This new location and name is amazing! Ambiance is beautiful bigger space with lots of lighting and open space with tons of seating. Service is wonderful like before. Always nice and friendly. Food is still the best in San Francisco. I always get the Banh Mi Dac Biet. I feel so much more happy in this location because the old location was full of drugs and homeless people all over the place and there was never a place to park but this place is safe with lots of places to park! read more

Very friendly staff. Banh mis were very tasty. Wish they had cuter chairs and wish they had an option for extra meat for an extra fee. But overall the $8 sandwiches are an amazing deal.

A New Competiton in the Inner Richmond District for Banh mi, I decided to give it a try, I usually go to Phi Long on 10th & Geary. This new place was ok, I ordered the Combination and it was off, the sandwich it self was smaller, the bread wasn't the correct ones they normally use, less meat and the flavor wasn't there. They only have 5 Choices vs Phi Long has 9 Choices. Phi Long is definitely a bigger Sandwich. Im going to stick with Phi Long. Tip.. call ahead as she does get busy and sells out at times. read more
