    1. Combination Pork Sandwich
    Robin K.

    Banhwich has all the charm of a wonderful, small, family-run restaurant. The service was fast and super friendly! Just a heads-up that they are cash-only, but they accept Venmo and Zelle. Indoor seating is very limited, but there's a small park just a block away with picnic tables. I ordered the combination pork, the BBQ pork banh mi, and a Vietnamese iced coffee. Both sandwiches were absolutely solid, but the grilled pork was standout for me! As for the coffee, I'd probably pass on it next time. It was a bit too watery for my taste (I want it to be more punchy!). Overall, a great little spot for a lunch run!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Tastes just like the old school mom and dad shop with new technology. Good food and good service. Highly recommend with utmost regard.

    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!

    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 "

    I've been coming here since high school days and Banhwich always gets the job done. Solid quality banh mis made fresh to order. They also sell other dishes like vermicelli and rice bowls. Your order is made first and you pay after, it's cash only. There's 2 small tables inside if you wanted to dine in, otherwise it's pretty much take out.

    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.

    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.

    The bread is amazing. Crunchy exterior, soft interior. Never had bread like this before. I'm hooked. Also the veggies are so fresh and crunchy! I got the combination pork (cold cuts). Twice!

    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.

    Great affordable bahn mi spot, grabbed a bbq pork for $9. The bread was nice and soft and all the toppings paired well with the meat, solid sandwich especially for the price.

    #20 egg roll, BBQ pork vermicelli $12.50

    I've been here twice. First time I got a leg of lamb and more recently some double cut pork chops…read more I'm sure they are helpful if you ask questions but they were pretty busy both times I came in and it felt like you needed to know what you wanted for the most part. For the leg of lamb, I think most people get a whole leg of lamb. That was way too much for me and I think the butcher thought I was confused when I asked for less and asked me what I was doing with it. He ended up saying he could give me a half leg of lamb and I agreed. Thar was about 3 and a half pounds (bone included) which was the perfect amount. I seared it and then braised it and the meat fell off the bone. Delicious and the price was pretty good. I was cooking my first pork chop and decided to come here to get it. Their pork isn't labeled as Berkshire or Duroc or anything but that probably keeps the price down. For chops, they had boneless, bone in, and double cut (which was also bone in). I mentioned I wanted it to be about 2 inches thick and the butcher said to get the double cut.I got 2 beautiful thick pork chops for $6.99 a pound so about $18 total. The regular cut bone in pork chops were the same price though obviously smaller. I brined this overnight and reverse seared it and it was great. The chop was a loin chop- loin and then a tenderloin nugget- not a pure rib chop. Cooked really nicely and was tender which I think was partially the overnight brine and also their pork. They do sell some vegetables and grocery supplies if you want to just make a single stop. They also have a deli with some sandwiches that looked good and prepared foods. I was very focused on buying the things I came in for and getting on with my day both times but I would like to take a closer look in the future as it looked good. Solid butcher shop and clearly loved since it was busy both on a weekend and during the week. I'm sure I will be back.

A roast beef for hubby and turkey havarti cheese in Dutch Crunch for me. At the concert, hubby thought the bread was too dry and didn't like the sandwich. My turkey meat was good but I'd agree the bread wasn't so great. I ate the leftover 1/2 sandwich at home the next day and it was better after putting it thru the toaster oven. But I think sandwiches taste better from the nearby Safeway even.

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

Double pastrami, horseradish, havarti, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and pepperoncini. A lot going on, and it all came together. The horseradish and havarti gave it enough personality to stand apart from a standard pastrami sandwich, and the garlicky mayo tied everything together. The one casualty of DoorDash was sogginess by the time it arrived. That's not a knock on the sandwich, it's just the reality of ordering something like this for delivery. At $14.50 it's a hearty sandwich at a fair price. I'd recommend it, but eat in.

While I apprecite Dinosaurs offering tofu/taro sandwiches, but the taste was just ok. Ordering is done at a little door window and numbers are called when available. There's a public outdoor seating area converted from a parking lot to the side of Dinosaurs, I believe City of SF operates this public space. I ate my sandiwch peacefully in that space. There are plenty of better Vietnamese sandwich shops around town. Don't worry, Dinosaurs isn't hurting for business. May give them another try in the future. #31/2026
