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.
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
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.
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.
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
You can order by kiosk or with a worker. The kiosk is a little tricky since the items don't have all of the pictures to cross reference with the item you grab off the shelf. The meat in the bowl section looked good. I grabbed a $5.50 16 oz water and a $7 vanilla lychee tea. The worker had it ready quickly after I placed the order. The cream was good on its own and the tea was good on its own. They taste good mixed together too The pho is also decent. Could have a little bit more flavor but good for airport pho. The banh me was good. The carrots aren't as pickled as you'd get outside but still enjoyable. read more
Always happy with the little soup places at the airport, Had morning flight boarding at 5:45am, around 5:15am seeing someone preparing to open this place, was just asking if i could order earlier than 5:30 (when they open) this woman looked so angry and just told me "5:30" without saying anything else. I ended up getting kid size noodle soup, Great to have option, soup was not exactly good, but ok without other choice, then other lady served me was very nice after 5:30, i would rate this place 4 star just for the Asian soup option, and OK soup and pho, but the service i got was horrible. Get it if you are craving soup and asian food like me, and bare the bad attitude from the employee read more

A decent Vietnamese spot in the airport. We ordered their sandwich and a bowl with vegetables, grilled pork, and noodles. You can place your order at the self-service kiosk, and the food came out pretty quickly despite the long line. It definitely hit the spot. read more

I ordered the lemongrass pork with rice and honestly didn't expect airport food to be good. It was surprisingly delicious! The service was fast and friendly, which made the experience even better. Of course, the price isn't cheap, but that's expected at an airport. Overall, a very satisfying meal before a flight. read more
Grabbed food here before a flight and was happy with it. Chicken salad sandwhich was great. Tasted high quality and fresh. Better than your typical chicken salad. I loved the pickles and it had great flavor. Not too overpriced for airport food either. They had a nice selection of grab and go meals. read more
Food was quick and hot. I usually hare airport food because it's always expensive and disgusting. However, I made the exception here because I had to get something to eat. Overall, I have to say... aside from the price, this place was pretty good. I ordered the classic combo and MAN was it delicious. They even stuff the sandwich to the brim. The drinks were also good such as the viet coffee but the vanilla lychee tea was way too sweet. Service was quick and easy. I would recommend to just order off the kiosk instead of waiting in line. There was some sitting space inside but I would just recommend just taking your food to go. read more

Quick service. Many grab and go items available. Juices, salads, wraps, hard boiled eggs, edamame, noodles and others to go. Used the self service kiosk to order a mini kids meal as was not that hungry. Was very plain as kids prefer although I believe you were able to modify if you stood there and watched them make your food choice. Food items pre cooked and they just filled a bowl. Vietnamese coffees, boba tea and fruit teas available to be made. read more
Was happy to find this at the airport. Glad they had some fusion twists on things. The salt and pepper garlic fries was good, when they say garlic they mean garlic. I ended up paying like $38 something for a sandwich, coffee and fries but for airport food that's pretty normal. It was busy but they worked fast and got orders out quickly. It's in the international terminal at SFO but it felt clean, had good ambiance and selection. I'd eat here again. read more
I got the boba and I would say it was reasonably priced but had a lot of ice. Can't wait to try more things on the menu. They take card and they also have self check out. Wish there was a choice to make the taro a slushy read more

We had to try this place coming off the plane and getting back on the plane it was that good! It was a recommended spot from TikTok so it did not disappoint. The service was fast and everything was like line style but all in all the sandwich was flavorful! You HAVE to get the fries!! Source: Trust me bro read more

I didn't expect the Pho from this place to be as good as it was but wow was I surprised. We decided to eat dinner here since our flight was delayed multiple times. We ordered via the kiosk and it was pretty easy. We ordered: One order of spring rolls One Chicken Pho One Soda Total was about $40 with tip. Our number was called out when our food was ready. Once at the counter, we were told that they did not have any spring rolls so the friendly worker offered to give us two orders of egg rolls instead. The Pho was delicious. It was hot, very flavorful, and had plenty of chicken and noodles. It was sooo good. The egg rolls were not good as they were cold in the center and did not taste fresh. I think I would've rather had gotten a refund since what we had originally ordered were spring rolls. Overall, I would eat here again because the Pho was great, just no egg rolls. read more
Second time I ate here. Like the sandwiches. Lots of flavor and texture. Glad to have a tofu vegetarian option as many bahn mi restaurants do not. Also liked the chicken and rice kids plate option. A bit pricey but I think that about most Bay Area restaurants! read more
It's truly not a bad option when it comes to airport food! I ordered the crispy egg rolls as a starter. They were hot and crispy, and the dipping sauce it came with was good. $7 for 2 rolls, cut in half. The grilled lemongrass pork sandwich was flavorful and had a decent filling-to-bread ratio. The pork was tender. The bread was soft, with a crispy bread crust. It wasn't the most mind-blowing sandwich, but also a very decent one made with fresh ingredients. Overall, it's a good option if you're hungry at the airport. read more

For airport food, Bun Mee is not bad. In fact it's above average. I find myself loving their egg rolls and their lychee refresher! The five spice chicken sandwich was pretty good tho the chicken pieces could be a bit smaller. The bread was ok, a light roll not much flavor. I prefer a stronger French flavor. Having said that, they just opened a new location in the Marina which I will definitely check out, either try their pho or noodle bowls. read more
