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!

Pick up my order

The pork lemon grass sandwich had almost no flavor at all. Service was fine -- nice people-- but the product was surprisingly bad.

The place has a charming, old-school, nostalgic vibe, with lots of memorabilia and collectibles on display. There wasn't a long line either However, one thing that seriously needs improvement is food handling and hygiene. I noticed the employee preparing my sandwich touching doorknobs to get the sweet peppers, handling the pepper jar, and then almost proceeding to touch my food with the same gloves. I literally had to ask him to change his gloves before continuing. As someone who takes food safety seriously, this was disappointing and concerning. Wearing gloves doesn't automatically mean proper hygiene if those same gloves are used to touch multiple surfaces before handling food. While the sandwiches were genuinely good, food safety will always be my priority over taste. Unfortunately, this experience significantly affected my overall rating.

The Italiano reminded me of the way Poor Boys with ham, bologna, salami, mortadella and a slice of cheese on a really good roll with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and onions. I loved my sandwich, the meats tasted good, veggies were all fresh and a nice soft slightly chewy very fresh sweet roll. Next time I'll need to ask them to go light on the mayonnaise. Very old school sandwich that is hard to find. My wife was disappointed. She was wondering if they ran out of crab. She said it was a thin layer and was very heavy on the mayonnaise which overwhelmed her sandwich. I forgot to get the garlic sauce for her which we hear makes the sandwiches even tastier. I might go earlier in the day next time, ask for no mayonnaise and add the garlic sauce. My experience was great and my wife's was a little underwhelming. We definitely will go back for the Italiano and a second shot at the crab sandwich. Looks like a family run business by two brothers, nice guys. A little off the beaten path, inside Deli counter that looks like a Liquor Store do don't let the store front fool you. Stop by for good sandwiches and value.

Little Lucca is a place I've been going to for years, and from my first visit to today, the…read moresandwiches have never disappointed. They're known for their unusually large sandwiches (easily enough for two people) but what always draws me back is their signature garlic spread. It goes on every sandwich and really sets Little Lucca apart. The place has a fast-paced, old-school sandwich shop vibe, with a line of sandwich makers keeping things moving. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., expect long lines out the door, but they move pretty quickly. There really isn't anywhere to sit and eat, so this is primarily a takeout spot. My go-to is the fresh-carved turkey and cranberry sandwich. They load it up with all the fixings, and between the turkey, cranberry, and garlic spread, it reminds me of Thanksgiving every time. It's a huge, satisfying sandwich and one I keep coming back for year after year.

If I'm…read morecraving Little Lucca on a Tuesday or Friday, I usually get their shrimp sandwich since it is only available on those days. The shrimp is essentially a baby shrimp salad but it tastes great in combination with the other toppings and their original garlic sauce. This location is slightly bigger than the SSF location but still does not offer seating for customers. There is essentially no decor and I assume this is to get customers in and out rather than having everyone linger around. During peak lunch hours the line can take up the whole restaurant. This business opens early and closes early so don't expect to pick up a Little Lucca sandwich for dinner. Considering how busy they get, the assembly line of workers do a pretty good job to ensure the line is moving at a good pace. Aside from the shrimp sandwich, I've had most of their other sandwiches over the years and I've enjoyed each one. The sandwiches are also very massive and can last a normal eater at least two meals. Prices have slowly crept up over the years but the portions are still great for the price. Make sure to come early to beat the lunch crowd!

He saw me sitting in my car at 10:30am, trying to time my order so the sandwiches could arrive hot at 11:30am. He welcomed me into the store (1st time there) and took the time to take my order giving me suggestions. He made sure to time my order so I could pick up and go right away. I mentioned I was getting a medical procedure soon and he was so sweet and reassuring as he had the same procedure done. Patrick and his staff are such helpful and wonderful people. After getting my order perfectly on time, my car wouldn't start! I was freaking out as I had hot sandwiches, Chile and hungry people wanting to eat. Not only did Patrick save me a 2nd time by jumpstarting my car, I learned he is also a certified automotive mechanic, and he gave me so much information about a battery that I never knew about! Amazing food and service! Thank you Patrick! Will definitely be back...
