    I came here for lunch after attending the San Francisco Marathon race expo over at the nearby Fort Mason. This restaurant was located on Steiner St near Chestnut St. Very easy to find. The store was very nice, clean, and inviting. They're a chain that focused primarily on bánh mì. I ordered their ribeye steak dip. It was their most expensive item for sandwiches. It was a bit pricey and strange to be paying over $20 after employee health surcharge, tax, and tip for food that normally would be quite affordable at a Vietnamese restaurant. However, it was probably the best bánh mì that I had ever eaten! The staff here was very nice and friendly.

    I decided to order the chicken pho for lunch, They have a very large menu so you can choose what you would like to eat. The service was very quick and professional. The broth was delicious. You can't go wrong with any item you order. Ambiance is very clean and consistent like their other locations,

    I really like chicken banh mi and I enjoyed the one I had here. The prices aren't terrible, and the vibe is very fast casual. The service was good and it hit the spot, but pate is a $1.75 add on which is a little odd because that's usually just a standard part of the sandwich.

    Great banh mi! Super flavorful and tender chicken, yummy veggies, and also has a nice mayo sauce. I liked the crunchiness of the bread which didn't (!) hurt the roof of my mouth to eat. Also not too expensive for the Marina area. I also tried the chicken pho and while the soup was delicious, I didn't love the chicken (slightly dry) and the noodles (very al dente). Would come back to try other banh mi options though!

    Crunchy Saigon Chicken Salad

    I was craving a really good chicken salad, and this place delivered! The Saigon Chicken Salad is a must-try! the chicken is so tender and juicy, and the dressing is perfectly balanced: tangy, not too sweet or sour. I noticed a lot of people ordering pho, but I'm so glad I went with the salad (they also have healthy Asian bowls). Everything just tasted right. Definitely adding this spot to my go-back list! There's only one person at the check out counter, and he's super friendly and helpful when I asked a ton of questions about the menu. The space is also a nice place to chill with a book while eating a good meal or hang out with friends.

    Tofu bun mee

    I'm a big fan of bun mee. I've been going to the location on Fillmore Street and figured it would be the same. Yum. We went there today to pick up sandwiches to take to Moscone. It's the first weekend of spring! The sandwiches are so good. They ask if you want jalapeños and of course, we do! I got the tofu bun mee because it's the only vegetarian option. He got the first item on the sandwich menu which was the five spice chicken. The bread is crunchy and fresh. Yum! I love the ratio of carrots and cilantro. I'm taking one star off my delicious experience because they have beer and wine on their menu, but don't have their liquor license apparently to serve. They should just cover up that part of their menu to be transparent. If you do want beer or wine, go to Marina Deli otherwise, get Vietnamese New Orleans style coffee.

    I am soooo happy a bun mee opened in the marina. There bun mee sandos are the best I have had in the city and its location near chestnut is ideal for marina bites. I have also tried the noodles but the sand which is far superior imo. Friends staff and wait times for food was short. PLEASE DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND GO HERE!

    Chicken Banh Mi and Crispy Egg Rolls
    Rani S.

    I was excited to see another Banh Mi spot open up in the Marina. I got a chicken banh mi and crispy egg rolls. I used to go to Asian Box nearby for Banh Mi in the area and this one was a lot better -- it was packed with veggies but still didn't feel like too much, the chicken was tender, and the bread was a good texture. The crispy egg rolls and sauce it came with were rich in flavor as well! My friend got a lemongrass tofu and enjoyed it as well, and mentioned this would become a go to spot for her. The service was good as well and prices were reasonable. This is a good spot for affordable, quick, high quality food!

    Bun Mee opened last week in the Marina but I discovered this location yesterday while walking the dog. I stopped by for takeaway lunch & ordered the classic combo sandwich without jalapeño or onions & a golden milk tea boba. The dining room is a decent size for a quick meal if you're planning on dining in & neat & clean. My sandwich was ready in less than 10 minutes. The baguette was nice & crispy & the filling was a generous amount of pate, mortadella & lemongrass pork. The cucumbers & pickled daikon & carrots added brightness & additional flavor. It's a pretty big sandwich so I only ate half. The golden milk boba tea is actually black tea with milk, boba & sugar. It runs on the sweet side. Service is quick, friendly & helpful. Welcome to the Marina neighborhood Bun Mee! I'm glad that I don't have to go to the Tenderloin for a good Vietnamese sandwich & will return to try other menu items soon,

    Crispy Fried Chicken Bun
    Terry R.

    Bun Mee nailed their crispy fried chicken bun! The chicken contained all the crispy and juicy goodness you expect from fried chicken and was elevated with the fluffy bun, slaw and sauce! SOO GOOD! The young man who took our order on 11/2, midday was very welcoming and helpful, proving that good customer service elevates any dining experience. We also had another person (perhaps the manager) come out and check on us which was more than what I would expect from a order at the register restaurant. Restaurant was clean with plenty of indoor seating. Bun Mee definitely won me over today!

    Classic combo
    Christine M.

    I came in on a Saturday at lunch time and I was the only one there. I got a Classic Combo sandwich and some sort of strawberry lemonade type drink that I think they make themselves. They have a good amount of seating (inside only) if you want to eat there. The bread was nice and crispy, but I was underwhelmed by the pork- it was kind of chewy. The mortadella was sliced so thin and there wasn't much so you could hardly taste it. Pate was good but I would have liked more. Pickled veggies were nice and crisp. Drink was good and not too sweet! Staff was very nice.

    Top notch service. They had really friendly counter staff people that remembered your name, which was appreciated. Food came out fast, and food was yummy! Good portion size too. Plenty of seating indoors that I enjoyed. I will likely be back

    Five spice chicken banh mi
    Brian G.

    Banh mi in the Marina? Much needed! I ordered the five spice chicken and it was super tender, with good flavor. They give a decent amount of meat. The bread I enjoyed since it wasn't too toasted, a bit softer than a baguette. Overall, ingredients tasted fresh and high quality.

I wish they would mention that their weekend morning to lunch menu is different from the one displayed on their website. I drove all the way here for the main pizzas/pastas for my birthday, but we were only limited to breakfast food and burgers on a weekend afternoon. Also, I understand that weekends get busy, but our server did not check on us at least once. They were only present to take our orders and then drop off the check. As a former server myself, I am very aware of these things. It appeared that there was some down time to check on a simple 2-top as she was walking up and down scanning the tables. I can say that this is not reflective of the previous times I've dined here as the service has always been very pleasant, and the food never disappoints. For minimum $20 per entree, you would expect the servers to check-in on how the table finds their food and whether or not there is something they can provide to make it better.

    I first visited Wildseed a few months ago, and while the food was fantastic, the service truly made…read morethe experience unforgettable. Daniel took care of us and recommended a pasta that ended up being one of the best dishes we had. His thoughtful recommendations, genuine hospitality, and warm personality elevated the entire evening and made it a truly memorable experience. We came back last night and were so excited to see Daniel again! He remembered us, made us feel incredibly welcome, and crafted an absolutely delicious lychee cocktail. Highly recommend Wildseed for both the amazing food and exceptional hospitality. A special shout-out to Daniel for always going above and beyond!

There's even a cute little fireplace in the middle, so it's a shame they aren't open in the evening as well, especially since they serve wine and a lot of savory dinner foods. Don't be fooled as I was by the short menu posted on the sandwich board outside. Come in and you'll see a far more extensive menu posted on the walls, featuring a large variety of beverages (juices, smoothies, shakes, coffees, teas), pastries, appetizers, salads, entrées, and desserts. You order and pay at the counter, then bus your dishes yourself. There are a lot of seats and it looks to be favored by those with laptops as well. There's apparently a small restroom, but I didn't check it out. The staff is very friendly. I ordered the Peach and Mango Glow smoothie, which was tasty and just what I wanted more substantial than the juice, but lighter than their protein shakes. It is a bit pricey for what it is, but I suppose you're paying for the ambience and location as well.

I ask the hostess if they are still serving brunch, and says "Yes", and directs us to a 2-top. There is only one other occupied table in the entire restaurant. Fifteen minutes go by and not a single staff person has come to the table, left water, asked if we wanted something to drink, or take our order. I stand to see over the frosted-glass partition and see a couple of staff members(in black shirts) talking to a non-customer who had walked in with 2 large dogs, as if they were chatting in someone's garage, not in a working restaurant. I tell the staff member with dirty hair tucked under a baseball cap that we are ready to order, and he says "Your server isn't here{where is she, because there is only 1 other table?}, but I will take your order." We give him the order, he puts it in to the kitchen, then he returns to talking to the other staff member and non-customer with 2 large dogs. I go to the restroom and now the staff members, the non-customer, his dogs, and their leashes are blocking the path to the restroom, so while I am waiting for them to clear the path, one of the dogs approaches me and starts smelling my crotch, which I didn't ask for, nor was willing to tolerate in a restaurant. On my return to the table, I now see that someone has placed dog biscuits on the floor and the dogs are eating and the dog biscuits off the floor of the restaurant!!! Disgusting!!! I now return to the table and, shortly after, the actual waitress makes an appearance with our food, but the breakfast sandwich my daughter ordered was so tall, it could not have possibly been eaten hand-held, and the butter knife included in the cutlery set would not have been able to penetrate that thickness. So, now my daughter has to stand and go through the phalanx of dogs to ask for a sharper knife so she can cut her sandwich in half. It was as if serving the paying customers was an interruption and inconvenience to socializing with the dog owner. Not a good look for any business, but the fact that non-service animal dogs were in the interior of a restaurant is a violation of California food code and common consideration. As for ambiance, they had loud dance music playing on the sound system, as if it were a nightclub on a Saturday night, not a brunch place on a mellow Sunday afternoon. To add insult to injury, the bill tacked on a mysterious yet mandatory 5.25% "hospitality fee" after sales tax. Where was the hospitality to earn that 5.25%? Out of objection, I deducted that 5.25% fee from the already-low tip that I left as a statement for the horrible service. Restaurant management needs to decide if they want to run a business that is in compliance with health codes, or a social club for their employees and local dog-owning non-customers. Update 9/29: reported health violation to SF Dept of Public Health. Enjoy the yellow card!
