I live in the neighborhood and I'm obviously spoiled for choice when it comes to Vietnamese food. Bo and Beurre is one of the newer joints, serving delicious food with warm service. They take card and this is a welcome plus. Their combo banh mi is top notch and worth the slightly higher price point. Don't miss checking them out. read more

I called ahead on a Saturday morning and ordered the roast pork and lemongrass beef banh mi's. I was told it would take 10 minutes. When I arrived in 10 minutes I still had to wait a few more mins for it to be prepared. The owner was nice, I had a bit of a chit chat while I was waiting. Credit cards accepted which is a huge plus. I ate the roast pork first. But what I got tasted more of grilled pork. The meat and veggies were generous. But the pork was a bit dry. It needed more mayonnaise to give it more moisture. Bread was crunchy but I waited an hour to eat it and the bread got a bit dry and dense too. Next I ate the lemongrass beef. I felt that the meat portion was less than the pork. This one tasted better as the beef was tender and moist. I do anticipate on returning to try their bbq pork, meatball, curry chicken and pork belly options and maybe ask for extra mayo. read more

Bo&Beurre - BBQ Pork Sandwich on the beach - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

It appears I'm at least a year behind discovering little jewels like this Little Saigon sandwich spot. You know what got me here? Jury duty. Yep, I had a ninety-minute lunch break, so I strolled up Polk and just noticed this place next door to L&G. It's a tiny spot with two tables and a couch. Unlike the queue to be found in front of Saigon Sandwich, there was just one guy waiting on an order. A selection of a dozen sandwich choices was staring at me. There was no eyeline to the prep area, so I didn't see how they were made. I went on blind faith, and ordered the $9 Roast Pork Banh Mi (Photos 5, 6). Now I had read that prices were way higher here than Saigon Sandwich, but the reality is that they're only a dollar more. In fact, both offer identically priced combo sandwiches at $10. You want cheaper? You have to cross the bay to Ba Le in El Cerrito (review: https://yelp.to/-btrRNID4X). No complaints from me though. It was assembled in a hollowed, toasted baguette. The generous portion of roast pork was warm and quite succulent. Stuffed inside was fresh cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon, jalapeño slices, and cilantro. It was so tasty I didn't feel guilty about monopolizing a table. FOOD - 5 stars...a really tasty banh mi, price matched the quality AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...just wish it was a bit bigger SERVICE - 5 stars...attentive, conscientious TOTAL - 5 stars...definitely belongs on the banh mi pantheon RELATED - Exploring Little Saigon? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/QwUdr81Txo read more

The only place I've seen that serves coconut noodles in California. Theirs is a surprisingly large serving. You can add lemongrass beef for an extra $5 and I highly suggest that addition. The noodles are chewy, and the combination of coconut cream and fish sauce is as addictive as it gets. Their beef is so flavorful, so I can imagine their lemongrass beef sandwich will be equally delicious. The noodles are large enough to serve 3 comfortably. I also got their combo and roasted pork sandwich. The roasted pork was better, but it was pretty sweet. read more

The juicy beef was cooked and seasoned perfectly, yet still managed to take a backseat to the rest of the dish. I want to marry the side sauces that came with the coconut noodles (Bánh Tằm Bì). The coconut cream and Nước Chấm complement the opposing textures of the bright, crunchy veggies, chewy noodles, and soft tripe beautifully. My dog is officially obsessed with their tripe. Everything comes neatly packed separately so we can happily share. :) read more

Super small and rough around the edges. But in Little Saigon, I feel like that's a good thing. Some really tasty sandwiches here! Spring Roll: Wrapped fresh to order. Quick long with lots of shrimp. So satisfying! Lemongrass Beef Sandwich: I know pork-based bánh mì are the most traditional, but I always love a beef bánh mì. While most beef versions are grilled beef, theirs was more like a wetter sitr fry. Still very tasty, especially against the crispy veggies and herbs. Nice crusty French bread too. Coconut Noodles: Not listed on their in-person menu, but you can see it online. If you ask in person, they'll make it for you. It was reminiscent of a vermicelli bowl, except with udon-thick noodles and coconut cream mixed in. Still lots of veggies and herbs. And the meat was shredded pork and pork skin. Overall, lots of flavors and textures. I mostly liked it, except for the limp pork skin pieces (prefer crispy pork skin). Vietnamese Iced Coffee: Seemingly brewed to order. Very strong coffee with nice sweetened condensed milk, just what I wanted. read more

This spot makes some seriously good banh mi and the ladies working inside were really friendly. I stopped by because my usual go-to had already closed for the day and I needed a sandwich fix. Glad I gave this place a shot because the food hit the spot. The prices are very reasonable and the banh mi was on point. The sandwich had a great balance of meat and veggies, and the baguette was perfectly toasted. There are a couple of small tables inside if you want to eat there. The space is a little rough around the edges, but that doesn't matter to me when the food is good. I'll definitely be back again. This spot came through when I needed it and honestly impressed me. It's solid, affordable, and just does the job right. Nothing fancy, just good food made well. read more

Bo&Beurre - Meatballs Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Been coming here since they opened! Ran by the sweetest people! The sandwiches are definitely the best in the area. Fresh ingredients, best flavor. I always get the cha lua with extra jalapeños. 10/10 read more

Delicious Banh Mi for a reasonable price. This is a little hole in the wall in the little Saigon neighborhood. No frills place, which tells you the food is going to be delicious. A family owns and runs the place, and they're so kind and fun. I recommend the meatball sandwich, but my boyfriend loves the combo as well. We also always ask them for a side of chili paste which is essentially choppped up thai chilis. It gives the sandwich the kick we like. read more

Absolutely incredible banh mi - easily one of the best I've ever had! I got the combo, and the bread was perfectly toasted: soft on the inside with a satisfying crunch outside. The meats were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. They've got competitors just a few doors down, but clearly, they're not worried - their food speaks for itself. Delivery was lightning fast too - arrived in just 15 minutes. read more

Bo&Beurre - 1. Combo - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I saw that line at Saigon Sandwich... no reason to wait when B&B is right across the street! Friendly service, tasty bhan mi (I had the roast chicken), really hit the spot. Price super reasonable and I could kick myself for not getting the combo!! Just a few tables which is ample as there are a lot of outdoor seating options in the area (in front of 450 Golden Gate is really nice/clean). If you're in LittleSaigon stop in :) read more

Bo&Beurre - Roast chicken bhan mi - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been scouring the city for some mean tofu bahn mi sandwiches, and behold I come across another one. I've been to L&G next door and am I huge fan, but this place has really good reviews and is open later, so thought I would give it a try. The outside looked unwelcoming, and when I walked in it looked like they were about the close, but they were really nice. It was served hot and and fresh, but lacked crunch so I put it in the toaster oven when I got back. However if you like it softer it's great. The flavors worked, and the tofu was seasoned well with the sauce. I really needed Sriracha and was surprised they don't give any hot sauce, but the guy was nice to offer some leftover ones they had from their own meals, though I felt weird taking them so I just had the Sriracha at home. It was also reasonably sized, but for $8 it was a tad pricey for a sandwich. However not really much to complain about it other than the tofu side of the sandwich being blander than the veggie side of it. For something open late night, not a bad option. They are very nice and has a casual feel to it, but the quality is definitely there. Looking forward to trying it again some time! read more

Bo&Beurre - 11. Tofu Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have no complaints! I was just trying to find some food. Found this hole in the spot nearby other banh mi spots ive been to. It is a couple dollar more than some of the neighboring ones but idk after one sandwich here and multiple at the neighboring ones, I might take Bo&Beurre over them. Greeted upon entry; low-key looks confusing on where to order but the workers came out quick and took my order, so they cleared up. Theres some seating and it looks clean to sit. Just know what area this spot is in and what is outside. Other than that, the roasted pork was warm and goood. read more

Bánh Tằm Bì. That's all. The end! J/k! It's not a review unless I'm hitting 5000 max characters and putting peeps to sleep. Bo&Beurre ("beef" in Viet & "butter" in French) opened in August 2024 in a corridor with heavy hitters like Saigon Sandwich and L&G Vietnamese Sandwich but this newcomer is offering a rare, off-the-menu item: Bánh Tằm Bì. A Southern Viet dish of thicccc rice/tapioca noodles in coconut milk + nước chấm (fish sauce) topped w/ shredded pork skin, herbs, and pickled veggies. Based on my search, I believe Bo&Beurre may be the first and only place to bring this dish to the bay (apparently, it's not even available in SoCal). Bo&Beurre is currently open for takeout and limited indoor dining. No outdoor dining. M E N U Array of bánh mì with some housemade meats ($8-$11), gỏi cuốn (spring rolls), and off-the-menu specials: bò kho (beef stew), bún riêu (crab noodle soup), and/or bánh tằm bì (thick noodles in coconut cream sauce). NOTE: For off-the-menu specials, they're not available everyday. Check their IG or send a DM to inquire about availability. There's bottled drinks in the cold case. Iced coffee (cà phê sữa đá), iced thai tea, and spritzers are available off the menu. Free bottled water or soda with a purchase of a bánh mì. CC's and Apple Pay accepted. F O O D * Bánh Tằm Bì: Thick noodles w/ coconut cream sauce, shredded pork skin ($11) - Before mixing: https://tinyurl.com/bdef6una - After mixing: https://tinyurl.com/4h3xmxjj Channeling summer, this is a great cold noodle dish with a medley of flavors and textures. The chewy, bouncy noodles were a nice contrast to the gelatinous pork skin, crisp cucumbers + carrots, refreshing mint + cilantro, and crunchy peanuts + shallots. The coconut sauce is deliciously creamy, sweet, and coconutty balanced by the nước chấm and chili sauce, giving some funk, tang, and heat. The latter is served on the side to doctor up the bánh tằm bì to your liking. The flavor was so unique and addictive...and the leftovers held up well. * Bánh Mì Dặc Biệt: Combo Viet Sandwich ($10): https://tinyurl.com/3m3csyap -Add extra pâté Good ratio of fillings to carbs, the toasted baguette was crunchy and soft with a light flaky crumb (doesn't cut the roof of your mouth) with layers of ham, chả (pork loaf), housemade pork belly, housemade chinese bbq pork, smear of mayo, light smear of rich pâté, punchy pickled veggies, cool cucumbers, cilantro and jalapeno slices (not spicy). The warm fatty bits from the pork belly made it extra tasty. I think they forgot the extra pâté but it's fine (wasn't charged for it). To nitpick, the pickled veggies could have been better distributed so you get acid in each bite. Otherwise, the bánh mì was solid and well-balanced, hitting all the quintessential notes of salty, savory, tangy, sweet, spicy, and umami. If I had to compare it to the other two bánh mì neighboring competitors...they're all different so it depends on your preferences. Using the dặc biệt for comparison basis: Bo&Beurre is the priciest but crafted with housemade meats. Saigon Sandwich is the best value, fully loaded but not traditional with its hard + dense "baguette" and sauciness. L&G is traditional with a light, crackly baguette but with cold cuts only, no chinese bbq pork or pork belly. You can always do a bánh mì crawl to see which one is your fav. S E R V I C E Danny, the owner (?) was very kind. Polite, hardworking aunties (speak little english). I was the only customer at the time so food was ready in 5 minutes. A M B I A N C E Small hole-in-the-wall shop with two café tables. Yes, it's in the TL but this part of Little Saigon is not that bad since it's near government buildings. P A R K I N G Metered street parking. Overall, I really enjoyed my lunch at Bo&Beurre. If you work/live in the area, def check this new local business out. I'm hoping the bánh tằm bì will put them on the map! read more

Absolutely delicious Vietnamese sandwich shop downtown. I've come here multiple times and the food does not disappoint. The banh mi here are so flavorful and I highly recommend the coconut curry chicken and the lemon grass beef. They toast fresh bread everyday so they always have a great crunch to them when eating them. Every time I come here, the spring rolls are a must! These are by far the best and fulfilling spring rolls that I've had in San Francisco. They are definitely worth the try if you haven't! read more

So good so good so good!!! Gotta be the best sandwiches and spring rolls I've ever had in San Francisco. I ordered both shrimp and pork belly in the spring rolls with their own homemade sweet and savory sauce that I've never had at other places, but it's so good with the spring rolls. The sandwiches are really good as well. They are warm and freshly made and very flavorful. Small, clean space and staffs are nice. Foods totally worth the money! Will come back again. read more

I was on my way to Civic Center Bart and wanted to get a banh mi, but didn't have cash for Saigon Sandwich. However, I am so glad that I didn't! I stopped in here, and asked if they took card and to my delight they answered yes. The kind gentleman who took my order recommended the combo or the lemongrass beef. Everything sounded so good but I decided on the Roast Pork and Lemongrass Beef. Roast Pork 4.5/5 I tried this one first and it did not disappoint at all. The pork was so tender and flavorful and the bread was perfectly crunchy but soft. The pickled veggies and other toppings perfectly complemented the savory pork. I only rated it lower because I loved the beef so much. Lemongrass Beef 5/5!!! This was the most tender beef I've ever had in a sandwich and it was so flavorful!! I finished it so quickly I feel like I didn't savor it These were about ~$10 each and very worth the money. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this shop today and I can't wait to come back and bring my friends and family. Thank you to the kind gentleman who took my order!! read more

I guess I'm alone in finding my pork sando to bland and dry. And no beurre (butter) to be found! The spring rolls were described as being shrimp and pork though there was no pork. Also very little flavor. Everything was fine but nothing was fantastic. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. read more

Ordered the tofu sandwich and Vietnamese iced coffee. Delivery was super quick. The sandwich was still hot when I got it. Fresh bread and ingredients. Only small thing was that they didn't fill up the coffee to the top. It was still delicious. read more

Went here on a weekday around 12:45 and was instantly greeted with a warm smile and hello. Cute ambiance. Ordered lemongrass beef sando. Service was fast and friendly. The bread was soft with a crispy exterior--exactly what you want. Plenty of vegetables and jalapeños. The beef was very juicy and tender, with a little pink. Although the price point might be a bit high for some, I definitely recommend checking this place out. I will be back!! read more

Came here with my family for a late dinner, looking for something quick and easy to eat. The staff was friendly, and their signature combo banh mi was loaded with meat and tasted great. Good thing is they open late until 8pm. The only downside is the location in the Tenderloin and the cleanliness, as we noticed flies around. Otherwise everything are good. read more

Wow. When I first walked in I wasn't so sure this could possibly by the place with all five star reviews. And then I got my food. Phenomenal. The baguette, which I honestly have never paid attention to on my banh mi, was perfect. In and of itself a star. And the vegetable filling tasted like everything had been harvested the previous day. The seasoning had depth and subtlety. I will likely be back several times before my trip is over. read more

Amazing service! Mom and pop feeling once you walk inside. My favorite go to sandwich is the Lemongrass Beef Bahn Mi with the Apple Spritzer 10/10 everytime. Always consistent with the sandwich never misses.

I had been living in the SF area for several months and I was about to leave SF permanently. I had heard of and read the reviews for Bo & Beurre. It was on my bucket list of things to do before leaving SF. I liked it so much after the first try, that I drove back into SF two more times before I left. Excellent food!! I highly recommend you try Bo & Beurre if you're in the SF area. read more

Very great service! Restaurant recently opened a few months ago. I came when they first opened and fell in love with the food. It's almost as great as the people.

I think they use that Maggie sauce on the sandos, it's so good! Got the combination sandwich. Highly reccomend.

Hella bomb! The banh mi sandwiches were top tier and may be the best I've had in the Bay Area to date. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I had the pork belly and lemon grass beef sandwich and it did not disappoint. Everyone needs to try this! Will be going back. read more

I had the banh mi beef (bo) and I think it is one of the tastiest and cleanest banh mi to be prepared in the TL. This is how it should be! Baguette was light and crispy, the ingredients are all well proportioned with each other and my overall impression was that it tasted fresh. It is priced higher than other banh mi in the area but you know you can taste the difference. The photos uploaded by everyone else are very much on point to what I had. Thanks again! read more

Bbq pork banh mi is my favorite from this place! The buns are nice and soft but also crispy on the outside

It was very delicious! I believe was my first time eating here- I would definitely try more of the menu!

They don't speak a ton of English, but a little patience and you are on your way to an amazing Banh mi experience. There were a few very sweet ladies running the show, and they have your typical Banh mi selection. Given that there are literally 3 Banh mi spots within 100 yards, I can say after trying all 3 many times that each is a different experience and a different sandwich. All are good but I particularly like the combo sandwich from here because they have char Siu in theirs. I'm not a char Siu person, but the way they have it thinly sliced, not too sweet, and definitely not dry, I much prefer my combos from here now. Very generous portion and decently priced. Will come here again for sure. And their bread is soooo fresh, light, and crispy! Highly recommend because even though Saigon Sandwich and L&G are also good and close by, you are getting a different experience here that is just as good if not better. read more

Great good and service !! They have Vietnamese coffee and modify to make it to how you like it.
