    Tofu banh mi
    Tanner C.

    The banh MI was very tasty, but the price was really high and portion not huge. The other place in town is serving sandwiches for almost half the price, this place is tasty, but wish the portion and amount of protein was larger.

    Menu as of October 2025

    Dinosaurs has been on my list to try for such a long time. Decided to finally try the Pacifica location one day for lunch. Ordered the chicken and shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce and a grilled chicken banh mi. When you first walk in, you have the register/ordering area straight in front of you and visibly you can see the workers making your food straight to the back. To the right, you'll find the menu and some snacks (Asian snacks included). To the left, you'll find a fridge with drinks. Not too big of an area but it's probably designed for you to order and go. There are tables/seats right outside of the shop so that's convenient. The spring rolls were good but I didn't realize they put green apples in it. Not traditional in my opinion. Not horrible but really random. I preferred it without the apples so I took it out. The chicken was flavorful and I enjoyed it very much. The peanut sauce was also really good. Very peanut buttery. I always love a good peanut sauce with my spring rolls. Not many places make it this way (usually you'd see it mostly hoisin sauce) The grilled chicken banh mi had great flavor. Well balanced with the veggies and mayo. The bread however, was not a traditional banh mi. It was more like a torta. Although the flavors were good, I wouldn't order again because of the bread. Place overall is good but not traditional. Price is a little steep but it's expected for the area. If you're looking for a place to try that's not traditional, give Dinosaurs a try. I'd come back for the spring rolls...without apples :)

    Yummy banh mi spot in Pacifica!! My partner took me here for the first time because he and his coworkers love it. I got the Spicy Tuna Banh Mi and it definitely lived up to the hype. I have a weak/mild spice tolerance so I definitely felt the heat, but it was delicious! My partner got the Grilled Pork Banh Mi, which he always raves about. Decent price and generous portions; I was able to eat my sandwich in 2 servings. They also have fast service (only waited around 5 minutes). Bonus points for easy parking and their location next to The Magic Toybox store which is super fun store to browse while you wait!

    Love the food here. Can't go wrong with any of their banh mi sandwiches! They're all good!!! Got the bbq pork today and shrimp and chicken spring rolls. The bread is soft with a perfect crunch on the outside. Spring rolls was a perfect size and you get 3 with your choice of sauce. It's located in a shopping center so lots of parking. Got our food at a reasonable amount of time... about 10 mins. Store is clean and staff is super friendly. There is outdoor seating in case you want to bring your pup:).

    Special!

    Got to try the meatball, dac biet (special) and shaking beef sandwiches today with all the toppings. Personally I wish the sandwiches were a bit bigger because they were so good. My sandwich had a healthy amount of pickled vegetables, fresh cucumber, cilantro and jalapeño. I also liked the flavoring of the meatball. I thought it was going to lack in flavor without being cooked in the typical tomato based sauced but that proved to not be the case! 9.1/10 banh mi I'll definitely be back for. As for the special sandwich otherwise known as the banh mi dac biet, wow. 9.8/10! Good amount of butter, pate and the thickness of each cut of meat was solid. Sadly this is the only sandwich I took a picture of. We also ordered the avocado shake and Viet iced coffee, both great as well.

    I would definitely recommend for there food and sevice. I had the meatball sandwich and my wife had the grilled pork. We also ordered chicken and shrimp spring rolls. All the food was tasty. Service was excellent. I loved the old pay phone to take phone orders.

    New prices on menu due to tariffs (photo taken 10/26/25)

    Still one of my fav banh mi places in the area, note some increased prices though due to tarriffs

    Tocino (top) kare kare (middle) special extra pate (below)

    Thee BEST Vietnamese sandwiches in the bay, in my opinion! Tocino, Kare Kare and Special- extra crispy and pate!

    Shaken Beef Banh Mi
    Kelly S.

    :( Swung by to grab a Banh Mi to watch the sunset with and I have been truly disappointed. Shaken Beef Banh Mi Cons: - $15 after tax - Filling portion is diabolical - bread wasn't fresh, the top was too hard and pokey. Middle was not soft enough - pickled veggies weren't as pickley as I'd except - too much mayo!!! Not enough everything else Pros: - lots of parking - pretty quick So so disappointed. I should've seen the red flags, no one spoke Vietnamese and the place is literally called Dinosaurs?.. Staff were speaking in Cantonese.. I guess it's okay but I wouldn't come back.

    Avocado Smoothie
    Kevin C.

    Solid banh mi spot serving up quick and tasty Vietnamese sandwiches! The bread is super duper fresh and tasted like it's cooked in house, which was my fav part. Loved the Asian snack choices they had too, honey butter chips for the win! Lots of tables outside. Grilled Chicken - Flavorful chunks for dark chicken meat with hints lemongrass. Just enough creamy sauce to go with the crisp veggies. Shaking Beef - Juicy beef slices with a savory and vinegary taste. Good amount of meat to veggie ratio. Shrimp & Pork Spring Roll - This could be a meal in itself! Very thick and generous with the protein. Shrimp was plump and no fishy aroma. Avocado Smoothie - Smooth and not too thick. Very subtle avocado taste, moreso tasting like vanilla for those who are wary of getting an avocado drink. Also, not overly sweet. Super refreshing on a hot day!

    Great food, but make sure you call your order In ahead of time or be ready to wait a bit to get your food.

    I like this place. The restaurant is on the smaller side, and parking is a little tricky because…read morethere's so many designated areas for the swim school and 24, but overall happy with our experience. Lunch: Oasis XL Noodle Combo Combo beef noodle soup- large Imperial rolls I felt like my large bowl of pho would be equivalent to a medium at other places. The Oasis XL is the same thing, but just a little bit bigger. For what it lacked in portions, the pho quality made up for it. I liked the chew of the noodles and how the broth was a tad bit on the sweet side. We didn't like the imperial rolls that much, but could appreciate that they were made to order because they came out piping out. I love the extensive menu and would want to try out the bbh, bun rieu, and banh mi next time. Nice place for lunch if you're in Pacifica!

    Ordered the Oasis pho. Which is the beef pho but way bigger. The portion was massive it was enough…read morefor 3 servings! Also had the tofu spring rolls. It may have been made earlier in the day or maybe an order was cancelled & they gave it to me? Either way, it seemed like the rolls had been sitting for a while because the rice paper was tough on one side & hard to bite through. Super bummer. The sauce that came with it is a sweet plum, not the usual peanut sauce! Fun twist! Seating roomy enough for a wheelchair. Lots of natural lighting. Clean restroom. Parking lot has plenty of room.

We decided on the oxtail pho w the appetizer sampler...and we loved it! The sampler had sticky wings (double fried with a fish sauce marinade), spring rolls, imperial rolls, shrimp rolls and duck skin chips allowed us to try a bunch of things and the oxtail pho had a rich broth and tender delicious beef. Also loved the pandan tea and the sugarcane juice. We will definitely be back!

    Never wanted to write a review so quickly after having the meal! Mainly because we got A+ service…read morefrom our server, who was absolutely sweet, accommodating, and great with kids. Upon getting seated, she asked if we wanted a plastic water cup, regular bowl, and plastic utensils for my toddler. I highly prefer being environmentally friendly, so I only opted for the reusable bowl. I truly appreciate her asking me before automatically bringing everything. I ordered the Pho Tai Gau (rare steak and brisket) with thin pho noodles, split bowl with extra noodles to share with my toddler. The meat is super thin and tender! Although we ordered "extra" noodles, it didn't feel like extra compared to a normal bowl, but my toddler wanted more soup than noodles so it worked out. We also got the imperial rolls appetizer. It was tasty but I felt like it was a bit overdone, because it hurt the roof of my mouth haha, but I do prefer it to be crispy than soggy so I'm not complaining! Just be aware :) Nowadays, my best eating out meals are those in which my toddler enjoyed and allowed her to be on her best behavior. Our server checked up on us multiple times (never had to flag her down) and took great care of us. My toddler even let her pick her up! So thank you for the great service!
