    While waiting for a flight, I wanted to have something in my stomach for our redeye flight back to the East Coast. There were a lot of options at SFO but I decided I wanted to have some Vietnamese as I hadn't had any this trip. When I walked by this spot, the line was a little long, but they were getting through the people pretty quickly. I ordered my sandwich and it came out fairly fast. The bread had a good consistency and the ingredients had good flavor. For airport banh mi it was pretty solid.

    I found Bun Mee while at the SFO airport, terminal one. They had a large selection of food and it made it hard to choose. My son ordered one of their rice bowls, I got a Bahn Mi, tofu rolls, cucumber salad, Edamame, and a pineapple drink. The service was good. One woman took orders and one prepared them. They also had a cold refrigerated section with the tofu rolls, cucumber salad, and edamame. We took our food back to the gate to eat. The restaurant was a bit crowded. Would I eat there again? Food wasn't bad, but I've had better for less money. The prices were high and I ended up spending almost $90.

    Chicken bahn mi

    Flavorful meat Pickled veggies weren't all that good as usual bahn mis Bread was decent Worth it? Meh, given it's at the airport, I'd say it's alright.

    Bun Mee was seriously my food savior when I was landing at SFO and realized The Club had a serious wait time. Thank goodness for Viet food that was quick and good. They offer an arrangement of banh mi sandwich options (and I think you could get noodle bowls too... hence the "bun," right?) I ordered the Lemongrass Tofu Banh Mi and subbed out the mayo for their curry mayo which is vegan friendly. My sandwich was done in a matter of minutes and I took it to go on my way out. The sandwich was everything and really hit the spot for me. Large slabs of marinated lemongrass tofu with all the pickled offerings and jalapeno, sandwiched between a toasty baguette with a vegan curry mayo. It was a veggie sandwich dream and for a fairly mid price of $15. Given it's SFO airport food, I'll take it. Would happily come back here again anytime I'm in the terminal and need a trustworthy meal.

    Overall a good affordable option (especially at an airport!). I placed an order online and it was ready when stated, easy pickup. You can also order there at the kiosks. It's a part of the food court, so plenty of seating. Everything was packaged and ready for me to go. The soup was delicious and hit the spot! Unfortunately the chicken in the bowl was pretty dry, but the flavors were solid. I'd be interested to try their pho next time because I feel like thats probably better than the bowls. If you have a craving at the airport / don't want to spend $$$ on a meal, this is a good spot! 3.5 rounded down

    Kombucha and to-go chicken salad (tofu salad also available)
    Anna B.

    Grabbed a to-go fresh chicken salad ($16.95) and a Synergy kombucha (~$8) and they absolutely both hit the spot. Appreciated the huge bucket of chili paste packets by the utensils so I could slather the chicken with spice. I did, however, have two airline food credits to use, so really I only paid like $4 bucks. Would I have paid full price? No. But the salad was surprisingly great for airport fare- really fresh with lots of veggie variety and crunchy bits- and I felt genuinely nourished from it. Would maybe try pho next time or a banh mi! Plus their counters have outlets.

    Lemongrass Pork Banh Mi - good!
    Cindy C.

    While looking for a quick bite, I noticed this spot located near my airport gate. So, I checked their online menu and their items sounded good. When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw there is an option to order at the kiosk, but a friendly female employee offerred to take my order. I ordered the Lemongrass Pork Bahn Mi, which is a Vietnamese sandwich filled with garlic mayo, pickled vegetables, and pork seasoned with lemongrass. The restaurant looked clean, their ingredients appeared fresh, and I appreciate how I could see my sandwich being prepared in front of me. As I took a bite, the bread was very soft, the pork had a delicious grilled flavor, and the pickled vegetables were tangy. Although the sandwich was a tad bit on the pricey side, I was satisfied with my experience at Bun Mee. I also would love to check out their other locations in San Francisco.

    I ordered at the kiosk which was convenient. I got the classic combo banh mi - $14.75 and sweet potato fries - $5 for a total of $22.79. My order was ready in 10 minutes. The fries were somewhat crispy. The included dip was fantastic. It had such big, bold flavor. The portion size to the price was very generous. I can't say the same for the banh mi though. The bread was on the smaller size compared to most banh mi shops in the Bay Area and the bread was disappointingly dense. It tasted like they microwaved the bread and as it cooled, became almost like a brick. It was so hard that it cut the roof of my mouth.

    Definitely pricey for a banh mi but that's due to airport pricing. The line moves pretty fast, and I only had to wait 5 minutes for my Lemongrass Pork Banh Mi. It was a rather greasy banh mi but it has a lot of flavor from the meat and sharp pickled carrots and is well-packed. One of my go-to places in SFO for an easy meal to take on the plane!

    I think SFO airport has great food options and I was looking for something fresh, healthy, and filling. Hence, I came across this casual spot with Vietnamese items - pho, bowls, and banh mih sandwiches. The Rainbow Salad with Lemongrass Steak (about $20) was amazing! It had a large variety of tasty veggies, flavorful steak, and was packaged so carefully. The staff fixes your order for you on the spot, assembly line style :) Quickly too if you need to make your flight! There are a few seats inside if you want to sit and eat!

    Bun Mee is a Vietnamese-owned banh mi chain based in the SF area! They've got 3 stand alone locations in the city & 2 location at the SFO airport (Terminal 1 & Terminal 3). We tried the one in Terminal 1 and ordered the classic combo banh mi, salt + pepper garlic fries, a Vietnamese iced coffee, and a vanilla lychee tea. The banh mi is definitely different from typical, standard banh mi. Wasn't the biggest fan of it as it lacked flavor from the lemongrass pork, mayo, and pate that normally give Banh mis an oomph. Bread used was also hard to chew. The salt and pepper garlic fries were also pretty bland and though they were not soggy, they were not fun to eat either lol. Found it hard to finish both the fries and banh mi. The drinks were okay. The coffee wasn't as strong as I would've liked for cafe sua da and had more foam than it did coffee? Overall, I am glad that there are options for Asian food at thus airport but did not enjoy this as much as I thought I would've. Looks like the pho ga/chicken pho is quite popular though and well loved, perhaps I should have given it a try. As far as it being airport food, it is not the worst but if your flight isn't too long, I'd skip and get a snack + drink instead.

    I got here around 7:15am, waiting for my plane to board in Terminal 1. I saw they had a Vietnamese Iced Coffee and had to get it (need some caffeine for this early flight!) They have the option of in-person or the kiosk off to the side (there are 2). I opted for the kiosk and it was a fairly quick process and checked out with my CC. The drink itself was great and I'm now slowly sipping it, waiting for the caffeine to kick in. I also ordered the breakfast sandwich but haven't tried it yet.

    Killer salt and pepper fries
    Kevin T.

    When traveling nothing is as comforting as a hot soup or hot drink... We got in late from Nashville and this place was still open so we were able to have some decent hot pho during our layover.. But the real surprise was the salt and pepper skinny fries.... We were expecting regular salt and black pepper but these were Chinese style salt and pepper fries so it was a mixture of garlic, jalapeno, green onion, bell peppers stir fried and served mixed with the hot crispy not greasy fries... Don't sleep on these fries!!! This is a casual walk up counter service Cafe

    Pretty decent banh mi. Not outstanding by any stretch but I'd come back. The egg roll wasn't quite as good.
