I've had Banh Mi Love on my list for a while. I'm really surprised I didn't make it sooner since it's in my neighborhood, but at least I finally made it. I pre-ordered the bun bo hue banh mi and dip for pickup before the shop was open for the day. Later, I drove to get my order, and it was already prepared and packaged. Once I got back to my place, I unpacked the sandwich for a late breakfast/early lunch. The first thing I noticed was the mayo oozing out. In the order instructions sections, I had requested "light mayo, please". Apparently, what constitutes light mayo is subjective. I should've just omitted it entirely. Upon biting into the sandwich, I was struck by how bland the brisket was, more like American pot roast than Vietnamese seasoned beef. It relies entirely on the consommé for flavor, which was a bit disappointing, as I would've liked more flavor in the meat itself. The brisket was sliced into larger than bite-sized strips, so some pieces slid out of the sandwich into a single bite, but then other bites had no meat. Also underwhelming was how mid quality the brisket was. One large chunk was pure fat and sinew - inedible. I'm not really sure what the hype is. The BBHD, their specialty, is just average - rare but not unique. I've had BBHD at another place before, and it hit the spot with flavor throughout. My friend raved about this place for their pandan panda cotta, so perhaps I'll try that sometime but skip the banh mi. read more

Hmm... having been raised on Saigon Sandwiches, it's hard to justify paying for a BBQ Pork with Pate at $11.75 and a Combo Pork at $11. My total came out to $26.71 for two banh mi's. Imagine that. The banh mi's were good and the bread was toasted nicely, but their banh mi's are noticeably on the smaller side and for some reason, it wasn't as good as my first visit. Nevertheless, great place to fill a craving if you're hungry and nearby. Friendly service and they have fun chips/drinks as well as free lollipops at the counter. 3.8 stars read more

Banh Mi Love - Combo Pork and BBQ Pork - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

We were excited to try out Banh Mi Love but did not love it. Tucked away in the Stonestown Medical Center, you can follow your nose to the banh mi. The bread was crunchy and guaranteed to cut the roof of your mouth if you have a soft palate. We got the combo and pate + fancy pork. The combo was a bit dry and lacked flavor. Veggies were fresh and the carrots were not pickled enough. The pate was not enough to get that creamy mouth feel in the banh mi. The pork and ham slices were just ok and the fancy pork had more pate, but that was ok too. There were no jalapenos, butter or mayo, which would have helped. Portions are on the smaller side but is relatively cheaper around $10, similar to San Jose prices but nowhere near the quality. Perhaps the beef banh mi with the dip is worth getting but we will pass on Banh Mi Love next time. read more

Seriously look for the sign or else you can miss this place across from the Stonestown gym. First floor, no frills, no tables. They take credit cards and cash. I got the pork sandwich with pate and the bread was amazing. I could literally hear and taste the crunch. Wish the veggies were pickled and I would have liked more veggies and pate, but the sandwich was good. Had the Vietnamese coffee here which I didn't like. Wouldn't order it again. It was very bitter. Too bitter for my tastes. Friendly service, will be back. read more

I saw that they had a Bun Bo Hue Beef Brisket Dip & a Garlicky Chicken Banh Mi, so you know I had to try em! The beef brisket was nice and tender and went very well with the dip. It was good without the dip as well. The garlicky chicken was good as well. I got some pate on the side since those two options I ordered didn't come with any. I need my late when I eat bang mi! lol It was Spock up only kind of place and the owner and staff were all very helpful and cool. I will be back for sure! read more

The sandwiches tasted very good today. Either they've gotten better or it's a better day. I ordered the usual, combo pork. Full of fillings with head cheese and pate. The bread was nice and crispy but soft inside. Also ordered lemon chicken bahn mi for family. Tried the garlic chicken in the past and the chicken was marinated too long and the soy sauce and was too salty. read more

Wanted something quick near Stonestown without eating at the food court and my friend suggested Banh Mi Love. I ordered the BBH dip and it was really good. Bread was toasted perfectly and it was loaded with meat. The dip was a littttle sweeter than BBH broth usually is, but it did go well with the sandwich. I will definitely be back! read more

Banh Mi Love - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Been meaning to try this Banhmi place for a while but it sat in my Yelp bookmarked places (more than 2K at last count). Finally we visited together right before Christmas and it was a nice experience. A little takeout place with friendly service. Hubby was jamming to their music while ordering. Banh mi was good with tasty fillings and crunchy bread. I like their lychee hibiscus tea. Located near Stonestown Mall in an office building on Buckingham Way and 20th Ave. read more

This is a tiny spot in the medical building across from Stonestown Mall. It's only for take out as there are no tables or chairs to eat in-house. Because we got there around 1pm and dinner was going to be at 5:30-6, we thought to split a sandwich. I ordered a lemongrass chicken sandwich and a lychee hibiscus tea. After about a 5-10 minute wait, I got my order and left. My bf and I started eating about 1/2 way down the block and noticed we got a combo sandwich! It had fancy pork, pate, head cheese and ham with onions, cucumbers, cilantro and carrots. I was the only person in the shop when ordering, then a bunch of people were lined up after me. How did I get the wrong sandwich? And it was a tiny sandwich too. The sandwich was good and bread was crispy. But by the time we hit Whole Foods, it was gone. I guess you can't expect much for $9-10 anymore. The lychee hibiscus tea was nice and not too sweet, though the real bits of lychee get stuck in the straw. Solid 3.5 stars for service, quality and quantity. read more

One of my favorite banh mi spots in SF! It's a bit tucked away in the medical building in Stonestown next to the Subway. Every time I go I get the combination, so I can't speak for the taste of the other sandwiches but it always satisfies my banh mi craving. $10 and a bit on the smaller side but reasonable still. Reasonable portion of pate and fresh. Tasty, affordable priced drinks as well. I enjoyed their guava green tea. read more

We were down bad for some banh mi, and obviously did not want to commute alllll the way to the Tenderloin, so decided to take an L and come here for their combo sandwiches. At $10, we found the price point vs. the quality/portion misaligned-the sandwich is somewhat small and the bread isn't what you aspire for in banh mi. I would recommend stopping by only if you're truly craving banh mi and don't want to venture too far out in the city! read more

Decent Banh Mi sandwiches if you are in the area. They have a unique selection of sandwiches which I feel like isn't your norm. I ordered the Lemongrass chicken with extra pate and jalapeño, and it was good. My husband got the Combo Pork (Paté, Fancy Pork, Headcheese, Ham, Mayo), which he enjoyed too. Both sandwiches were great, but we also agreed that it didn't seem worth it to go out of your way to go there. Perhaps if you were already at Stonestown, and picked it up, that it'd be perfect. I ordered the sandwiches online, and although they estimated a 15 min wait time, they were done within 7 mins of ordering! Nice. I feel a little bad for their location. It's in this medical office building, not having the best parking or convenience for easy pick up. Honestly the best to have your significant other drive and drop you off to pick up. Anyway, fun sandwich selection and I wouldn't mind returning! read more

Delicious food and quick service! The store is located inside of a larger building so make sure to look for signage on how to get there.

The Thai Iced Tea was also delicious. read more

Banh Mi Love feels like a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I feel like not everyone knows about Banh Mi Love, as it's tucked away in the lobby of the Stonestown Medical Office building. The food here is delicious! Their menu focuses almost exclusively on banh mi, with the exception of some salad, drink, and dessert options. For $10, I ordered the fancy pork and paté banh mi (no mayo, no jalapenos). FYI the server at the counter always asks for the option to add jalapenos. Otherwise, all sandwiches come standard with cilantro, onion, cucumbers, and cilantro. Though I wish my sandwich had a little more meat, the flavors of the paté and pickled veg + freshly-toasted bread were *chef's kiss.* There was just enough paté spread in the sandwich that made this taste so delicious. For San Francisco prices, I felt that this was reasonably affordable for a quick and easy lunch. I highly recommend Banh Mi Love, and I can't wait to try their other sandwiches on the menu! read more

Hubs craving banh mi and has been wanting to check this place out. We ordered the combination porki, garlicky chicken, and BBHD. Didn't get to take a picture or try the BBHD since kiddo devoured it. Hubs liked that the bread was crispy and that there was a good amount of meat and veggies. The garlicky chicken was flavorful. The combination pork was also good. I think the pate in this one was more flavorful than other pates I've had. read more

Banh Mi Love - Buns, buns, buns. - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've ordered several times since my review two years ago. In that time I've ordered online on the Grubhub platform via Yelp or directly on their website which platform is Square. Each time my order has been ready for pickup. The bahn mi sandwiches are set at a good price point. Our orders: * hubby always gets the fancy pork & pate. * I've been getting the lemongrass chicken. If you place your order online, there's a checkout box for jalapeno or no jalapeño. That's great as hubby wants and I don't. The sandwiches are always warm and the sandwich roll toasty. Carrots are thinly shredded and marinated. Bahn Mi is located street level inside the Stonestown medical building. Plenty of parking at the adjacent Stonestown shopping mall. read more

I stopped by right at opening after my dentist appointment upstairs. I frequently passed this place and have finally jumped the gun and decided to grab a sandwich for my sister and I. We ordered the combo pork ($9.25) and garlicky chicken ($8.50). There was a customer before me that ordered 4 sandwiches so it took maybe 10 minutes to make. The sandwiches were a decent size for the price of a Vietnamese sandwich. It doesn't beat the inner sunset for the prices but I would say it's still cheaper than other places in that immediate area. The combo was filled with the paté, fancy pork, headcheese, ham with mayo. There was a TON of paté. So if you are a fan of that, then this sandwich is definitely for you. The paté was definitely the winner of this sandwich and I can see why they have the Paté and fancy pork on its own. The fresh veggie ingredients made this sandwich a 5/5 in my book. I had to transport it home which was about 20 minutes away and the bread was also still crunchy on the outside. All sandwiches includes pickled carrots and onion, cucumbers cilantro and house soy, jalapeño upon request which I definitely took advantage of there. The pickled veggies were delicious and you can tell that it was not just sitting there for days because there was a crunch to them. The Garlicky chicken consisted of garlic soy marinated chicken with the garlic aioli and veggies as well. The Garlicky chicken was good, but I felt like the sauce made the sandwich way messier than I would have liked and because I traveled 20 minutes home, it was super soggy already. I tasted the garlic but felt like if its covered with so much garlic marinade and aioli that it really needed more of a kick. Overall, fast service, yummy sandwiches and for those that are wondering there is plenty of parking for ease of pickup/ordering. Do know though that there isn't much seating in the storefront to eat there so it's more so on the go. read more

Price remains but the meat portion definitely has decreased (see pictures). The taste is little bit different for the combo because they put less meat and more pickled carrots. The garlic chicken was okay, but it would taste better if there was a stronger garlic flavor. :( read more

This hidden banh mi spot is such a great edition to stonestown. It's hidden inside the medical building on the first floor. Always come here during my lunch! Their banh mis are roughly $10 and so worth it. They're packed full to the point where you need to loosen your jaw to get a bite as you can see from the photo - that meat/topping to bread ratio! You know it's going to be a good banh mi when you take a bite but the roof of your mouth gets cut lol. Bread is super crunchy on the outside but inside is light and soft. Service here is pretty quick as well since it's kind of hidden and haven't seen them busy busy before. They also sell a variety of Asian snacks on the side as well. read more

Banh Mi Love - Combo pork banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

The reviews looked really good and my friends wanted to try, so I decided to come see how it was. Unfortunately it was not it, I'm really hoping it was just an off day and that I can come again and really be wowed. BBHD - 2.5/5, beef brisket, carrots, onions, cucumbers, mayo and a dip. The beef was super dry and was in giant chunks rather than cut up. There wasn't much flavor. When dipped, the bahn mi just became wet and oily. The dip lacked flavor and was super oily. The other two sandwiches I believe were garlic and pork. Those were also lacking flavor and dry. read more

One of my absolute fav banh mi places in sf! I usually call to order, then pick up. I always get their combo pork with extra pickled carrots! I think about getting something else on the menu, but every time I come here I'm specifically craving the combo pork and end up sticking with my usual. The baguette is toasted, so it's still soft but with a slight crunch on the outside. They're generous with the fillings and for $10 you definitely get value. This place is inside a medical building, next to Stonestown, so definitely a hidden gem type of place. I always forget to take a picture because it's so good! read more

Ordered on the phone around 1:45pm knowing they closed at 2pm and they were happy to take my order as long as I could pick up before 2. The place is very small and is inside a medical building, tucked away in the corner on the ground floor. Aside from sandwiches, they also have some drinks, appetizers, and a section of Asian snacks! I ordered: -Combination pork banh mi ($8.75): pretty solid, but pâté had a stronger flavor than I was used to. Meat was a little skimpy on this one. -BBH dip ($10): came with super yummy broth that you dip the sandwich into. Big chunks of meat in this sandwich. -Viet Coffee ($4.75): strong coffee flavor and not too sweet! Both sandwiches came with cucumber, cilantro (I had some sprigs that weren't very fresh, but it was end of day), mayonnaise, and pickled veggies. They also asked if I wanted jalapeno. The bread was crispy, but both sandwiches were on the small side. Overall, great service and decent banh mi. read more

Read reviews but didn't pay attention to the face that they are inside the medical building (go through the sliding doors). I accidentally went to the drink place next door at street level. Small shop and lots of ppl waiting for their order and coming in to order. Got the combo and the garlicky chicken per my friend's recommendation. My mistake for not reading the menu throughly, as it states at the top that jalapeños are upon request. I did not ask and was sorely disappointed that I didn't get the kick I was craving in my sandwich. The garlicky chicken wasn't super flavorful, I wish the chicken pieces were smaller so more flavor would be absorbed. Combo was good, just missing the jalapeño. Bread was good, not overly crumbly. I'd give this place another try next time and remember to request jalapeños! Price is ok, average about $11 per sandwich. read more

Fantastic Banh Mi and a great new find at Stonestown. I love myself a good banh mi and the ones served here hit all the right notes. Stuffed to the brim with quality meats, flavorful pate and fresh pickled veggies, these banh mi are as hefty as they are delicious. The Combo Pork was well balanced and as satisfying as any I've had, while the Bun Bo Hue Dip was both interesting and flavorful. The combination of tender brisket and crusty bread worked well with the dip and was definitely worth the trip. I was very very happy with this meal. read more

Hidden little gem right inside the Stonestown Medical Building. There is also an ample amount of free parking as well. Sad part is there is no table to sit down and eat your delicious banh mi and this place closes early. My family and I ordered the BBHD (Bún Bò Huê Dip) $12 - House Special Spice Lemongrass Beef Brisket, Mayo with a side of BBH Soup to Dip, Spicy Tofu $7.5 - Seared Firm Tofu, Mild Red Curry Aioli, Gingery Tofu (Vegan) $7.5 - Seared Firm Tofu, Sweet Ginger Glaze, Ginger Vegenaise, and 2 of their Thai Iced Tea $5 ‐ Sweetened Black Tea, Evaporated Milk. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The baguette used was soft and pillow like. I wished the pickled carrots and onions had more time to pickle, it seemed to have lacked that iconic Vietnamese Do Chua pickle taste. I also wished the Seared Tofu was a bit more crispy to my liking. Other than that everything came out quickly from the time of order to the time of make to receiving the food items itself. My family and I waited no longer than 10 minutes or so tops. The ladies who works here are very friendly and nice. Will definitely be coming back so that we can try other items on their menu. read more
