This was my first time at this establishment. The spring rolls were very good. Will be back.

We've only tried the beef pho so far, but both my husband and I agreed that it's one of the best in SF that we've tried. The broth is rich and beefy, and the beef itself is excellent; nice thick, tender cuts with fantastic marbling that melts in your mouth. Now my mouth is watering as I type this. :) The service was fast and friendly and they did a good job handling a request to keep scallions off one of our orders. My only complaint is their hours are limited if you're ordering for dinner (they close at 6)! Wish they stayed open another hour or two at least some days of the week. Looking forward to trying more menu items! read more

We're thrilled to finally have an excellent bánh mì spot in our West Portal neighborhood! The roasted duck and beef brisket bánh mì were absolutely delicious. The meat was flavorful and tender, and the bread had just the right amount of crispiness. The lime drink was refreshing, although a little sweet. We'll definitely be back to try more! One tip: if you can't handle spicy food, be sure to remove the jalapeño before taking a bite--it definitely adds some heat! read more

Fairly new sandwich shop opening up in the West Portal neighborhood focusing on Vietnamese sandwiches called Banh Mi. They offer benches to sit and enjoy your sandwich. Place is really clean. I tried their Roasted Pork and their Pop Combo Banh Mi. The Banh Mi were tasty and contained tender protein and decent veggie portions. The roasted pork was moist but wish they would have included some crispy bits of roasted pork skin. The Pop Combo tasted fine as well but nothing spectacular. The bread wasn't specifically memorable either. There are many Banh Mi spots in San Francisco so in comparison, I thought this Banh Mi was pretty much middle of the road with slightly above average prices. They also offer Pho but I did not try that this time. read more

It's always good to see a new place offer something the neighborhood did not offer before. A business fulfilling a need which was missing is a good thing especially if the food is good. There has been new Banh Mi spots opening around San Francisco this year. There is Banh Mi company with various locations around San Francisco which opened a store recently at West Portal and it is called DragonEats. Back on a West Portal stroll with no sun in sight I landed at DragonEats. Inside the walls were decorated with art which reflected Vietnam. This spot is more a takeout place. The menu was a pleasant surprise because I saw the roasted duck Banh Mi. So I got the roasted duck Banh Mi and it was so good. It was savory and tasty. The bread was not as flakey like some in SF. There are other Banh Mi at DragonEats I will try next time. A solid place to grab a Banh Mi if you are in West Portal in SF. Go on a Spring stroll as it's almost over "tears in rain" go Dragoneats it has so may locations in SF it feels like a "national chain " but when it comes to Banh that's their "domain "they have favorable ingredients but the baguette is the only thing like some in SF that's flakey and "plain" Dragoneats is where the roasted duck Bahn Mi is "made" once it's "paid" the ingredients are fresh "quality grade" you can wash it down some with "housemade lemonade" read more

The staff was friendly and the time to prepare the sandwich was short enough that it did not eat up my entire 30min lunch. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't do an online order for pick up at least, but the sandwich was worth the wait. The Duck Bahn Mi- First, it was difficult to find a decent picture of the sandwich to begin with. One was blurry and the other barely showed any details. Regardless, the sandwich was fantastic! The bread was perfectly crunchy, with a soft center. Bahn mi sandwiches can be messy because the crust crumbles everywhere, where this one did not. It had juicy, succulent duck meat inside that was perfectly salty, and paired well with the sweet chili sauce inside. The fresh cilantro and jalapeño peppers added a nice touch of freshness and added crunch. The only part I was disappointed with was the pickle. I could have had a bit more. Overall, a very good Bahn Mi. I would recommend trying it out. I look forward to trying more from them soon. read more

DragonEats - Duck Bahn Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I stopped by DragonEats on West Portal after my dentist appointment. It was lunchtime and ordering via kiosk was straight forward and quick. I ordered 3 Banh Mi to try out: Roasted Duck, Roasted Pork, and Roasted 5 Spices Chicken. They were tasty but felt a bit lacking in meat, especially the Roasted Duck. I received a complimentary Vietnamese Iced Coffee, which was really strong and satisfying. Overall, a decent experience. read more

DragonEats - Chicken spring rolls with peanut sauce - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

3.5 rounding up to 4. Ordered a 5 spice roast chicken banh mi and it was around $12.50 via the kiosk. There was no wait on a Monday at lunch time, so I got my order very quickly. I wasn't able to eat the sandwich right away, took it home and it took around 20ish minutes to be fair. When I ate the sandwich, the bread was already not very crunchy. My fault that I didn't eat it right away. It tasted very chewy and thick and was getting soggy. The bread was stuck to the paper a bit. The chicken was nice and moist though. Overall the sandwich did taste good and was filling but I've had better. read more

I stumbled upon DragonEats-West Portal after getting off the Metro. Looking for lunch, I noticed the crowd outside the nearby restaurant (cough cough...Tur). There were families with screaming children hanging out the door and a heck of a lot of Asian people inside. This was not the vibe I was looking for so I walk down the block and found DragonEats West Portal. It's their first day open! What luck! I've actually never eaten at a DragonEats shop so this was a good first test! The shop is modern, clean and bright with a window facing West Portal Avenue. The wooden benches made the ambiance feel like you might be at an indoor stall in an open air market. Cool French café music is playing in the background. I looked over the menu and bought the 5-Spice Chicken Bahn-Mi sandwich. There is a garlic butter chicken sando too but the 5-Spice has more seasoning - which means deeper flavor. There was a staff member taking my order - very polite! There is also a panel with fast tap ordering too (if you need to get out the door super quick & there's a line up). Surprise: I was offered a FREE beverage - a first day special! I asked for the Thai iced tea...not very sweet. I didn't have to wait too long to get my sandwich. The chicken in the Sando was moist (not dry). Chockfull of fresh chopped carrots, daikon and cilantro. Yum!! The bread was crispy and light. As a new shop in West Portal, I think this place is a great add to the eatery mix in the neighborhood. Not pricy, quick and healthy. I gotta come back and try the pho! Food: 5 -star (bahn mi Sando) Service: 5-star (in person or on a touch panel - you got options) Ambiance for a casual sandwich/fresh bowl/pho shop: 5-star read more

I hate the packaging! Why can't they offer regular utensils for dine in? And actual bowls and plates instead of generating so much plastic and trash? This small place feels like a boiling oven inside, thus it's not comfortable to sit inside. Please offer outdoor dining, which would make it more pleasant! read more

So happy DragonEats has moved in to the neighborhood. Clean simple and really delicious meals. read more

We stop by this new Banh Mi deli in West Portal. It's a welcome addition to the neighborhood. We had an ice coffee with coconut milk, shrimp roll and Banh Mi's roast port and combo. I've never had a Vietnamese coconut milk, it was good with a new twist. The roll was freshly made with fresh ingredients. Lastly , the Banh Mi's were spot on. They were quick and friendly. The owner, Vo, was behind the counter working and welcoming!! The place is very nicely designed and looked meticulously maintained. We love the walls which were like charcoal mural sketches. The prices are very reasonable. They also have Pho and we will definitely be back to try. read more

DragonEats - Vietnamese Iced coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I really wanted to like this new neighborhood spot. I tried the butter chicken sandwich, and while the mayonnaise, carrots, peppers and cilantro were all very good, the chicken itself was a little on the dry side. I also personally prefer pieces of chicken rather than shredded. The biggest issue for me was the bread. It lacked flavor and was quite dry. I hope they consider sourcing a lighter, crisp French-style bánh mì roll from a good local bakery, perhaps Acme. The bread can really make or break this type of sandwich. Overall, the flavor just didn't compare to Saigon Sandwich in the Tenderloin. And at this price point, they're going to have to do quite a bit better. That said, I'm glad to have a new Vietnamese sandwich shop in the neighborhood and hope they'll make some improvements as they get established. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood! Got the Pop Combo banh mi. Rich flavorful pate with a ton of meat. The pickles and veggies were fresh. Will absolutely be coming back. read more

I've been waiting for this place to open in West Portal and have been three times now. Got the garlic chicken and some tofu spring rolls the first time. Both were delicious. Went back for the five spice and loved it. And two days ago I got the pork meatball. I do wish there was someplace to sit down and eat, maybe in the parklet outside. This place rocks. read more

Delicious Bahn mi. The duck one is amazing. The pork bowl was good too. Want to go back to try the pho

Ordering was straightforward and food came out quick. The brisket in the pho was good, but the broth was meh. There was no depth of flavor to the broth. read more

Food, service and congenial staff. Food is very low cost and very tasty. I recommend it highly.

Sandwiches aren't toasted. Bread has to improve and so does the flavor of the chicken.
