Steak bowl with fried egg
Jenna S.

The food took a little long to come out so consider this if you are in a rush to catch a flight. The food was really fresh and tasty considering it was located in the airport. The sweet potato fries were fries fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you have time to enjoy a meal this is a good option in the terminal.

Came by for a pre-flight snack the other day and it was a mediocre experience. Bun Mee is located at the food court within Terminal 3, towards the F gates. Ordering was available via kiosk or with the staff. Staff wore gloves and the sandwiches were prepared in front of customers. Most of the meats looked tired... Opted for an order of egg rolls and they were decent. The egg rolls were warm and seemed like they were mostly vegetarian. The fish sauce was on the sweeter end. $9 for a couple egg rolls

Chicken salad
Rebecca C.

Love this go to spot at terminal 3 when I fly out of sfo. The food is great comparing to other spots in the airport. I got the chicken salad. Very fresh and good balance of good quality chicken, with pickled carrot and dailon. Go light on the dressing. I have also gotten their pho before (harder to carry but also solid.) No dedicated sitting area but still nice to find a sunny spot under the sky light.

Kids Chicken and Rice Bowl
Carrie Z.

I got the Kids Chicken and Rice bowl for $11.54, which includes tax and a 5% employee health surcharge. You're probably better off finding somewhere else to eat. The rice was a bit tough and chewy, and while the chicken was at least seasoned, the meal overall just didn't really come together. It works in a pinch if you're stuck at the gate, but I'd suggest looking at other terminal options first.

Right before catching a connection flight, I'm always down for a combo sandwich from Bun Mee! Beats an inflight meal all day everyday! Fairly fast and efficient. Kiosk avail for self ordering or if you prefer to have help, just ask. Receipts are emailed if chosen via kiosk. I'm usually connecting through SFO and today's flight is at 7 and most meat options and veggies are already out and sitting (not sure how long) would be my only question but hoping it's all fresh!

Made-to-order banh mi
Alex M.

At SFO, we are very fortunate to have numerous appetizing food options. As I was considering what I wanted to take on my cross-country flight at 6 AM, Bun Mee was fortunately open and serving lunch (not just breakfast items). I placed my order of a tofu banh mi on the kiosk and waited about 10 minutes for my sandwich. Everything looked fresh - even the baguette was toasted to order. My sandwich was quickly assembled and wrapped so I could conveniently carry onto my flight. I didn't end up eating my sandwich until a few hours into the flight, and to my surprise, it wasn't soggy at all. There were also tons of flavors, including garlic aioli, 5-spice tofu, and pickled vegetables. I really liked the 5-spice flavoring on the tofu, but the slabs of tofu were a little too thick for the sandwich (thus making the sandwich difficult to eat). Because the sandwich was stuffed with tofu and veggies, a lot of the sandwich fillings escaped the sandwich roll, making a small mess at my seat. If I were to order it again, I'd definitely grab a stack of extra napkins and a bag to catch everything that falls out of the sandwich. I may also try ordering the bowl instead.

Five Spice Chicken Banh Mi (~$15), Ribeye Steak Dip Banh Mi (~$17), Sweet Potato Fries (~$5)
Aya E.

Ordered: Five Spice Chicken Banh Mi (~$15): with onions, pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber, jalapeños, Vietnamese herbs, and garlic house mayo on toasted baguette Ribeye Steak Dip Banh Mi (~$17): pho-inspired sliced ribeye with cucumber and bean sprouts, served with a side of house-made bone broth Sweet Potato Fries (~$5): served with red curry mayo Aya's take: It's super rare to have a decent, reasonably priced meal at an airport so as you can imagine, I was impressed with Bun Mee offering decent, clean, and healthy banh mis at the terminal! Both Banh Mis were well-made with my preferred one being the Ribeye Steak Dip Banh Mi. It sliced ribeye was fresh & seasoned, there was some kind of mayo inside which made it creamy and the crunchy freshness of the cucumber and bean sprouts came through in every bite. The Five Spice Chicken Banh Mi is a more classic style Vietnamese sandwich but again, very solid! The Sweet Potato Fries were so addicting! I could not stop eating them. They were crispy, airy, and a nice balance of savory & sweet. Price-wise, everything was very reasonable considering it is the airport. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a bite to eat at Terminal 3!

Freshly made food in an open kitchen! Pretty quick service especially being in the airport! It can be loud but again it's in the San Francisco Airport! I had Salt & Pepper Fries Momma Tran Crispy Pork Egg Rolls Five Spice Chicken Banh Mi Vanilla Lychee Refresher And everything was delicious!

Happy Travels Yelpies If you want fresh food made to order then look no further than here. Fast, Friendly, and Quality is the model here. This isn't the normal airport food experience. I just wish they added a little more salt on the sandwich. Besides that it was amazing Cheers The Dutchman

LEMONGRASS PORK 3/29/26
Sandy L.

Stopped by for a quick grab before my flight, airport prices, airport quality, so I didn't expect much. I ordered the Lemongrass Pork bánh mì. The baguette was soft with a little crunch. The pork had flavor but the portion was a bit small and slightly salty. Thankfully, the pickled carrots helped balance everything out. Service was okay, nothing special, but overall it was decent for a quick airport meal.

Chicken Salad
Vivian T.

Taking motion sickness meds on an empty stomach and gambling on airport food is crazy... but worth it this time. I had about 30 minutes before boarding and my gate was about a 10 minute walk from Bun Mee, but that menu was way too tempting to ignore. I ordered ahead online thinking it would save me time, especially in an airport setting where everything feels rushed. When I got there and checked in, my order hadn't even been started yet. The employee began making it right then which I understand, they want it fresh, but it kind of defeats the purpose of ordering ahead when you're on a time crunch. I ordered the salt and pepper garlic fries and the crunchy Saigon chicken salad. The fries came in a huge portion packed with onions and jalapeños. I was able to snack on about half while speed walking back to my gate. They were crispy, hot, and super aromatic which is exactly what you want from fries. Flavor wise though, it leaned more salty with a light onion presence rather than a strong garlic salt and pepper flavor, but for around $5 it was still very worth it and easily shareable. I didn't get to eat the salad until after I landed, mainly because I had no time and also didn't want to open something that fragrant on a plane. Surprisingly, it held up really well after the flight. Everything still tasted fresh and the flavors were honestly the highlight. It had that strong fish sauce base balanced with a sweet citrusy tang that made it really addictive. I just wish there was more of the peanut crunch mix and crispy elements because that texture contrast would have taken it even further. The sous vide chicken was super tender and soaked up the dressing really well. It is a bit pricey at a little over $18 for a salad, but it didn't give airport. Overall, this is a really solid airport option if you have a little bit of time. Just don't fully rely on ordering ahead if you're cutting it close, but flavor wise it definitely stands out from typical airport food.

Chicken pho & vanilla leche tea with boba
Brandy V.

Amazingly delish vanilla leche tea with boba. Very impressed. Pho hit the spot also. Fast easy checkout

Tofu vermicelli ($13), taro coconut coffee $5
Kelly L.

For airport food, it is very good. This place is located in SF airport, terminal 1. They have good presentation and options of Vietnamese comfort food likes sandwiches (banh mi), phở, vermicelli (bun) and vietnamese coffee. The price is also decent for airport food. Pho is about $15, bánh mi (6 inch sandwich) $12, bun (vermicelli) $13, coffee $5. They have taro, coconut coffee... so good! The service is fast. You place self order via the tablet, get the number and wait for your order to be called. There are 3 ladies cooking, packing food and making coffee. I waited for less than 10 minutes. I had tofu vermicelli and taro coconut coffee. The vermicelli is pretty good with large portion. Veggies are fresh. The fish sauce is typical for the dish. No complaints here!

There was a good mix of people dining there, including plenty of Vietnamese customers, which made us feel like we had stumbled upon a genuine local gem. We definitely weren't expecting to find a place like this after the walk, but sometimes the unexpected finds end up being the best ones.

This place stood out. Their brisket in their pho is just OUT OF THIS WORLD. You might think the broth maybe should be the most important part but that brisket, I'm telling you is sooooo good, their rice plates are excellent portions leaving me usually stuffed or ill have a bit leftover to make another meal.

Nothing tough about it, - the fat is rendered so nice and breaks apart super easily. the broth isn't over power and it's the perfect balanced flavor with that nice toasted baguette. Their banh mi is excellent as well and fairly priced. The chicken and the pork have excellent delicious flavor that is the star of the show. This place has gotten their proteins down for sure!!

Upon entry, the large easy to read menu is on the wall to your right. There was no one at the counter, so we ordered on the pad by ourselves. (I did notice you can order directly with the staff if someone is there though.) We grabbed our number to put on our table and helped ourselves to the self-service water station. The staff brought out our dishes as they were ready and provided extra plates upon request. Our dishes were ready pretty quickly. We ordered: * Crunchy Nem Rolls $12 - I love that fried crunchy pancake thing they put in the spring roll. It was super crunchy! * Imperial Rolls $12.50 - I love their version; it has that blistered fry because of the rice paper. * Beef Carpaccio $18 - This was good, but I think the color of the beef could have been a bit redder. So, it didn't look as fresh, but it tasted fine and we were okay. * Spicy Beef Noodle Soup $19.50 - This is their version of Bun Bo Hue, which is something I would usually order. I actually didn't see this on the menu, but the Little Guy did. There was a decent amount of blood cubes in there and we all wanted some. It was pretty good as he ate the whole thing. All the food items were pretty tasty and had good flavors. We were quite satisfied with our lunch. Although ordering from the pad can be quite impersonal, there were quite of few options for each dish for those wishing to add or omit things from their order. This is especially helpful if you're picky but may forget to request to not include certain items. There is metered parking and paid parking lots nearby. Overall, Cafe Bunn Mi worked out well for a quick casual bite.

I was craving pho, but wanted something different than my usual spot up the street. I was skeptical…read moreat first because of some bad reviews, but decided to give it a shot so I could judge myself. Went in today, Thursday evening around 6pm and was seated promptly. The restaurant is very clean and spacious with 2 different seating levels. Cleanliness is a huge deal for me and ever since I saw a cockroach at two different visits at the place up the street, I'm always hesitant to go back there and that's another reason why I ended up here too. As many people have stated, street parking really sucks, but there is the Miller Avenue Garage just up the street so I'm not sure why people always complain about that... It's literally a 2min walk, but you know most people don't bother to look and want a spot right in front of an establishment ‍ We started off with the A4 appetizer which is the fried chicken wings. The menu states it's 5 wings, but we got 9. I was a little confused at first, but looking back now, it is 5 WHOLE wings, but broken down its 10 single pieces (5 flats and 5 drums)... I guess they shorted us one piece, but whatever They were pretty tasty, not oily at all and served with a side of fish sauce. For an entree I got the #13 TÁI, GẦU, which is pho with medium rare steak and well-done brisket. It was really yummy and wasn't watered down as read in many reviews. I really liked the fact that you could choose a size instead of just a massive bowl because I hate taking leftover soup as the noodles don't really hold well and get too soggy... iykyk!! I got the small and finished it all! I could've probably done a medium, but tbh it was the perfect size for me as we also had the wings and a soda too. It was a really great value compared to other spots I've been to. For 3 bowls of pho, an order of wings, 2 sodas and a Thai ice tea, the total came out to $80. Oh, fyi I tried my son's Thai tea and unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of it, but other than that everything else was awesome and I will definitely be back.

Spring rolls are always my go-to order at any Vietnamese spot, so I was really looking forward to…read morethese, but unfortunately, they fell short. First, the sauce: if you're expecting a true creamy peanut dipping sauce, beware! What they serve is essentially straight hoisin sauce with a few crushed peanuts floating on top, which was a huge disappointment. Second, the packaging: the spring rolls were packed so tightly together that as soon as you try to pull one apart, the rice paper sticks to the next and tears completely open, leaving you with a messy pile. They look decent initially, but the execution and dipping sauce really missed the mark.

The restaurant is located on a street corner, where street parking can be pretty difficult to find. Fortunately, there's a paid parking lot just a short walk away, which was definitely convenient. Upon arrival, there was a bit of a wait, but the staff were friendly, polite, and welcoming. The restaurant has seating both downstairs and upstairs, and we were seated upstairs. Once seated, we were promptly given water and utensils, and someone came by to take our order. Given how packed the restaurant was, I was expecting a fairly long wait for our food. To my surprise, our appetizers arrived within five minutes, followed by our entrees just about fifteen minutes later. Talk about quick service! Now, first impressions of the food? WOW! Everything was incredibly flavorful, delicious, and tasted authentic. Honestly, this was some of the best Vietnamese food I've had in a long time! The prices are on the higher side, but the quality, flavors, and overall experience definitely make it worthwhile. So glad we decided to give this place a try on a whim. Definitely a wonderful find in San Mateo, and one I'd happily recommend. Looking forward to coming back!
