Purchased the #1 combo sandwich and the shrimp fresh noodle spring rolls on a beautiful SF sunny day. The sandwich was bursting with flavor and packed with meats and veggies in a warm crunchy roll. Heaven! The spring roll was yummy and the accompany dipping sauce was savory. What a find! Good food, nice portions, very nice service and very affordable pricing. read more

Been a while since we last visited Banhwich. Thought we heard there was a change in ownership. In any case, hubs was craving a banh mi as usual so we decided to drop by on a Sunday at around 11am. It was pretty busy. Placed our order for a couple of combinations and a pate, as well as the rice noodles (#23). Order took about 20 minutes to be ready. Light, crispy bread. The banh mi were reasonably priced, but contained more vegetables than meat. Would've liked more pate in the pate banh mi so more of that flavor came through vs the vegetables. The rice noodles were soft and tasted fresh. Owner was friendly and made a point to greet everyone who visited. read more

Came in today for an easy lunch to take to the beach... Pros- very friendly service. Reasonably priced (8.95 per sandwich), they cut a slit on the container for the egg rolls, so they don't become too soggy! Relatively fast service. And while it's cash only, also offer the option to use Venmo or Zelle, which I appreciated! And if you don't have time for the beach, there's a small park nearby where you can enjoy your food (McCoppin Square, next to the library). Cons- it's on a busy street, so parking maybe hard. It's cash only, but as noted in the pros- they do offer a Zelle or Venmo option! The guy forgot napkins, but he was the only one I saw running the front and making sandwiches, so it's understandable! Just check before you leave, so you have some napkins! read more

Pro tip: today I picked up my usual order. At the cash register I noticed a laminated card - Venmo or Zelle. When I asked, this is the last payment choice. Cash is king here. Also checked off as #5 on my 2026 eat local 'hood list. read more

We stopped by this banh mi spot on a whim and it did not disappoint. It's takeout-only, which makes it perfect for a quick grab-and-go stop. Our two sandwiches were ready in about seven minutes, and from the first bite, we knew we made the right choice. The bread was incredibly fresh and toasted to perfection, crisp on the outside with that soft, airy interior. The meat was perfectly crispy yet still moist and packed with flavor. The toppings were vibrant and fresh, layered thoughtfully so every bite had the perfect balance. At such a great price point, it's an absolute win just make sure to have cash! read more

Ordered a bbq pork banh mi, the pork was seasoned well and had lots of flavor. There is a good amount of other toppings like the pickled carrots and daikon. Service was great too, everyone working there was super nice. The only thing is the sandwich itself is a little small, and it felt like the bread to contents ratio was a little too high. I was very full on bread. read more

Banhwich - 2. BBQ Pork Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

A top contender for best banh mi in SF. For the (reasonable) price, my combo banh mi was packed with pickles and cold cuts. They always make then fast. IMO, the bread they use is one of my absolute favorites ever. Toasted and crispy but not hard to bite through. Shrimp rolls were also tasty. I just wish the parking was easier! Note that it is cash only but you're also able to pay with zelle or venmo. read more

Banhwich - Menu - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am always on the lookout for a good Banh Mi in San Francisco. It's a good thing when you run into a place which offers a good Banh Mi. It seems the Vietnamese Banh Mi popularity has grown everywhere and Kentucky Fried Chicken ( KFC) has recently released a Banh Mi on their menu in Australia. In San Francisco there are some good places in different neighborhoods for Banh Mi. In the Sunset Strip of San Francisco there a place to grab a good Banh Mi. Inside Banhwich on Taraval street it seems more like a take out place to order and wait for the Banh Mi. I ordered the Banh Mi Pate and it was scrumptious. The pate was savory and tasty. The bread was fresh and it wasn't too flakey like some in SF. I also had the Shrimp Spring roll and it was soft and flavorful dipped in their peanut sauce. Overall a good place and a good value to grab some good Vietnamese food on Taraval street. Don't "forget" while you are on the " Internet" to go to Banhwich in San Francisco in the strip called the "Sunset"which has some delicious Banh Mi using a fresh " baguette" All I can "say"is order the tasty Banh Mi "Pate " and their Shrimp Spring rolls are "okay"and they are only open during "day " read more

Combination pork sandwich, fried eggrolls, and a Thai tea. Parking is pretty difficult on Taraval in general, so beware, you may have to hike a bit. Limited seating inside. Items prepared fresh to order. Don't expect an amazing sandwich. Its getting 4 stars because it's fresh, tastes fresh, great pate, good pickled veggies. Only downfall is the bread. Would like different French bread. Great service. Amazing eggrolls. Would totally order them again. Hot, cripsy, good filling--I ate it before I could take a photo, and the Thai Tea was legit good. CASH ONLY. Will definitely be back soon. read more

My #20 egg roll, BBQ pork vermicelli $12.50 tasted OK. It came with a lot of vermicelli. Luckily, they included some fish sauce to make this less boring. The taste reminded of the little styrofoam snack sized to-go plates at the defunct Chinatown Little Paris restaurant at the old location where they put all the meats on top. The ones at Banhwich are much bigger of course. Service was slow as one of their machines was broken on Saturday and made everyone's orders delayed. read more

Outstanding VALUE for a Tasty Bahn Mi Sandwich. Friendly personable service too! For just $8.50, My BBQ Chicken Bahn Mi was crammed full with a veritable TON of chicken, and the usual accompaniments of shredded carrots, cucumbers, cilantro and jalapeños. Best of all was the BBQ Chicken itself - moist, juicy and flavorful, served warm on a toasty big and atypically wide (for a Bahn Mi) French bun. I asked them to go light on the Mayo, and they nailed it! With an unassuming plain exterior, Bahnwich is a little "hole-in-the-wall" establishment located right next to the MUNI L-Taraval light rail stop at 21st and Taraval. Parking is moderately achievable here on the side streets, but spaces on Taraval itself are harder to come by, due to these block-long MUNI stops. Straightforward menu, with noodle dishes too. Inside you''ll find a table or two to eat there, but this is definitely more of a grab 'n go kind of place. Verdict: For the price, the Bahn Mis here are tough to beat! My sandwich was easily on par with much more pricey Bahn mi/other sandwich shops.. I am definitely putting Bahnwich on my list of places to visit often! read more

I've been in the area for 10+ years and noticed that the shop remodeled recently. I went in and got the grilled pork bahn mi and was NOT disappointed. The bread was super fluffy and soft on the inside and the outside had a hardy CRUNCH. Delicious. I usually don't get jalapenos on my bahn mi, but for some reason I prefer it at this location. Not sure if they're doing something different, but it goes really well with the sandwich and not too spicy. Excellent spot for Bahn Mi and quickly becoming one of my favorites in the area. read more

Walked by and needed to try this banh mi place on my quest to try all the banh mi shops I can find! Good selection of sandwiches, fair price. Cash only and pay when they finish making your sandwich. $9.50 total including tax. Got the combo pork with jalapeños. Bread looked interesting, not used to seeing this type of bread for banh mi but no complaints. Toasted, plenty of veggies, pate, mayo, jalapeños. It was a nice lunch for sure! read more

Hi, it's me again. I came in today after a doctor's appt. I've been craving bahn mi for months. Recently came back from China, and couldn't find any bahn mi shops there. A new owner took over, their son. LoLs They were fixing a few things when I came in today. Their new colors makes the space look bigger. I love their shade of orange top and grey stone blue bottom. Definitely widen the shop. They have a small table for sitting and 'waiting'. I ordered 2 combo & shrimp spring rolls. Took home and shared it with my friend over lunch. The taste is as refreshing as I remembered and I needed that so much. I used all the peanut sauce on the sandwich and spring roll. I'll be back later. read more

I was craving a banh mi and have been searching for a go-to in the city since my move. San Jose native so I'm a bit of a critic. I was greeted by the shop owner and it was a welcoming experience. I ordered the Cha Lua for $8.50 + $1 for pate , about $10 some change. Price point is about average for SF, but I was bit underwhelmed with the meat ratio especially on 1/2 of the sandwich. Their baguette was good though (soft inside and toasted outside). read more

Solid mom and pop banh mi stop in Sunset. Came around 4pm and they were already sold out of a ton of offerings. They accept venmo which is convenient. We wanted the pork banh mi but they ran out, so we got the teriyaki chicken instead. While not super traditional, the banh mi was still delicious! It was served on a bread that's different from the usual french baguette, but I liked this bread regardless. The chicken was very tender and not dry at all, and the marinade flavor was great -- overall, a great mid day snack. The sandwich is super cheap (around $8) and the owners were friendly. Food came out in a timely manner. Not much seating inside so most people do takeout. Definitely recommend checking out if you're looking for a casual lunch or snack spot in Sunset! read more

Affordable for the quantity! Definitely my new go to in the city!!! read more

Delicious food, reasonable prices, and consistently good sandwiches and steamed noodle dishes. A true neighborhood gem!

For $9, you get a huge, tasty sandwich. See the pic of my pork banh mi with a small banana to get a sense of how large this is. Many banh mi's are quite small by comparison. It might not be the most authentic, but it's hard to find a solid lunch in SF for less than $10 these days. Highly recommend. Cash only. Order in person or call in your order and pickup. read more

My new go-to banh mi spot. I've only ever ordered the BBQ chicken banh mi, but I've had it five different times now--and it's consistently excellent. The staff is super friendly, and the vibe is way more relaxed than Saigon Sandwich. It's cash only, and at $8.50 per sandwich, it's a great deal. Yelp might show a higher price, but that's likely due to their markup. I don't even live in the area, but anytime I'm in the Sunset--or even if I've already eaten--I still find myself stopping by to grab a sandwich. read more

Got the combo and chicken bahn mi. It was hot when I got them and I can feel the crunch of the bread, but I was saving it for dinner. Six hour later, I'm having the combination bahn mi for dinner. The bread is not soggy but not much crunch anymore. But still delicious! It's priced very reasonable. I usually get my bahn mi at a shop in San Mateo and they charged twice as much. The staff was very friendly. Speaks perfect English. He wrote "C" on one of the bahn mi to differentiate chicken from combination. But by the time I got home, I couldn't remember if the "C" stands for chicken or combo lol read more

Definitely coming back here! Growing up in east side San Jose, I miss the abundance of viet food and delis now that I'm in the city. We called to place an order to-go. Family-style service. He got the banh mi dac biet (combination) and I got the banh uot cha lua (steamed rice noodles with fancy pork). Overall banh mi was good. The bread could be better. The mayo inside was buttery and flavorful. I loved the noodles and cha lua, so simple but satisfying. Solid, affordable spot. It is far from where I'm at in SF but I will be back. Cash only btw! read more

I am writing this review as I'm eating in the car I was driving by the neighborhood today and this is just my go to spot when I'm hungry. I was driving around looking for parking, unfortunately due to the city they have taken out most of the parking on this side of Taraval, so I figured I call in to let them know that I was looking for parking and placed my order over the phone. After circling the block a few times and having zero luck, I decided to park at the red zone on 21st Ave. The service and transaction was so smooth that I didn't even realize how fast it was. by the time I got in there, I chatted with the owner while they finished up my coffee and sandwich. And walked back to my car. I looked at my phone and only 6 minutes had passed since I called them! Now let's called that efficient haha Now Did you know? they had a change in owners 2 months ago! When I arrived I noticed that the usual guy behind the counter was not there, and I have been coming to this location for years. This is my go to Sandwich spot! now what led me to asking the question of if there have been a change in ownership is because he was chatting with me and I just had a feeling. So I asked and he answered lol everything still looks the same in there. And to be honest, it feels nice because it's a sense of familiarity. It's a small hole in the wall sandwich spot so not much about the ambience, but I like it! I did not get a chance on the updated pricing but I paid a total of $12.50 for my sandwich and coffee. Will take a photo next time I'm back! Now he reassured me that everything is still the same and everything will taste the same so of course immediately when I got back into my car, I had to eat it right away! Fresh! Hot! Banhmi! Needless to say it was delicious. I have always come here because of the bread and I love the bread. It has the perfect crunch and the perfect softness. Everything in the sandwich was portioned perfectly. You get a bite of everything in every bite. What was supposed to be a quick grab and go and eating while driving has turned into a finishing my sandwich in the car and writing a review! Best of luck to the new owners! read more

It's really hard to find a good banh mi sandwich outside of the Tenderloin and the only place frequented in the Sunset has really gone downhill since the pandemic. I came across this place on a Yelp search and I had to try. It's a small mom & pop place, similar to what I've seen in the Tenderloin. It is strictly a takeout establishment--no inside seating when I visited. I ordered the pate, combination and a BBQ pork, shredded pork & fried egg rice plate. Good, solid sandwiches, the combination was good, however I thought the pate was only so-so. Rice plate was good, I thought the egg was a little over cooked, nonetheless it was still good. There were spring fresh rolls--shrimp/meat available at the counter. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. Just remember this is a CASH ONLY business. read more

I can't believe I never visited this neighborhood mom and pop banh mi shop yet! I decided to stop by Banhwich for a quick lunch, and ordered their combo pork and bbq pork banh mi sandwiches. Note that this shop is cash only! The wait for the food was not that long as well. As the other reviews have mentioned, the bread used was different than other traditional banh mi sandwiches, but I didn't mind it! It was nicely buttered, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were pretty generous with their fillings, but maybe a little toooo generous with the heaping amount of carrots (which were still pretty good, I'm not going to lie). I def will be back when I have a banh mi craving! read more
