This place is hella good! There's a reason why my Vietnamese recommended this spot to me, he claims its the closest to Saigon banh mi you can find in the bay. We came here on a Saturday late afternoon and there were a handful of folks here ordering/dining in. It's a small spot with limited seating, so its mostly for takeout imo. We got 2 banh mi: one cold cut combo and another for lemongrass chicken. We also got a smoothie to go. The banh mi's are legit, I would order extra pate next time. Love how the banh mi are super thick with tons of meat, veggies, and good amount of pate. The bread is fresh and the portions are generous. Would love to come back here again and try more items and include extra pate per my friend's suggestion. There are only street parking available here. We had no issues finding one close to the spot on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Mango and Mint has done it again! Came back for another lunch, inviting another friend this time. This time, we tried a few new dishes. - Chicken Vermicelli Bowl: this is a hefty bowl. Took me a couple of sittings to finish (enough for one serving for one person if you're hungry or can eat a good amount). Lots of flavor through the pickled veggies, fish sauce, etc. - Combination Sandwich: comes with pork, ham, and pate. - Mixed Berry Smoothie: flavorful and a good size smoothie Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via street parking (parking is tougher on the farmer's market mornings) - Limited seating inside and outside read more

Thick, loaded, absolutely delicious banh mis!!! Definitely one of the best banh mis I've had. Got the spicy chicken and added pate (+50 cents!) and ate the entire thing. They are so generous with each component of the sandwich. Am absolutely itching to go back for another! Great value for $12. Cold cuts also good and loaded. 9/10 banh mi for me. Want to try char siu next! And the bowls (': Quick & friendly service, great value, decent pricing, solid menu. read more

Tried this spot on a whim while walking by, and were pleasantly surprised by the Banh Mi sandwiches ($12). Large soft roll, fresh veggies, and perfectly cooked and seasoned meat. Did not have as much meat or pâté compared to others' pictures, suggesting there is some inconsistency in preparation, but it was still delicious! Service is fast and friendly. Indoor/outdoor seating is available. Parking off the main street is pretty easy to find, even on a weekend. read more

I was in the area and hungry for lunch. Fortunately, I saw Mango and Mint and decided to give it a try. I got the Vietnamese Chicken Salad. Wow, as you can see by the photo, it's a lot of food! I wish they had a half salad option. As someone on a low-carb diet, I really appreciated that the salad seemed very healthy and fresh. I think for some it might be a little underwhelming flavor wise but this is exactly what I liked about it - that it wasn't over seasoned or sweet. They also made me a unsweetened iced tea, which isn't on the menu. It was delicious! While waiting for my order, I observed this to be a popular place and run very efficiently. The Bahn Mi sandwiches seemed especially popular. read more

Enjoyed a delicious and healthy smoothie the other day when I was jones-ing for something light, but not a full sit down lunch. Loved their variety and prices were around $7-$8, and I had the Tropical Green smoothie. This is a tiny Vietnamese restaurant, looks like mostly take out, but the menu looks inviting. Go visit, I love supporting these small places and I'll surely be back for a full meal. read more

At $12 a banh mi, I was skeptical but once I got it, I get it. It's a huuuuug banh mi. Its wider than my forearm and as long as my arm. It is filled to the brim with meat. They are not skimping here. This will probably feed me for 2 meals. They seem busy with call in orders and Door Dash but I got my order quickly. Parking is kind of tough and you might circle around a bit but worth it. read more

WHEN: Sat @ 1:30pm Finally got to try this because I love Banh Mi, and I appreciate the aesthetics of this business. They stand out with the color choices so its easy to spot on the streets, and they have a cute and simple signage, and being next to Cookiebar, both establishments make Webster St look so darn quant. As much as I love trees, I felt it was a great idea the tree in front was trimmed so we can see them better. Such a lovely facade! Anyway, this small shop has very limited seating. They have 2 inside and about 2 in front. They serve all sorts of things besides Vietnamese sandwiches such as salads, Noodle bowls, rice plates, egg rolls and spring rolls, and smoothies. Here's what I got: BANH MI - COMBINATION - $12 Cold Cuts of Pork Roll, Ham, Headcheese, Pate served on a tasted b Vietnamese baguette, housemade Mayo, Cucumber, Cilantro, Soy Sauce, Jalapeño, Pickled Carrot and Daikon. So I did not expect this sandwich would be so massive. So I figure it was just the bread. NOPE--this average sized baguette was jam-packed with all the works! I appreciate the amount of pate and mayo cuz most places skimp on this. The bread tasted quite fresh--thin crisp on the outer layer and soft throughout. Yes this bad boy ripped the insides of my mouth but it's worth it. Everything about this sandwich tasted fresh and just half of it filled me up. RICE BOWL - CHICKEN & PORK COMBO - $15 Steamed White Rice, Romaine Lettuce, Pickled Carrots, Tomato and Cucumbers. Served with FishSauce. Let me tell you this was no bowl--this was a massive DISH that can feed 2 people. Plenty of rice with all the seasoned and tender meats--so good! Unlike most places, this place does not skimp on the veggies. The fish sauce is not tooo sweet and goes perfectly with everything. Yes, I was skeptical about paying $12 for a sandwich but it makes sense with how hard it is these days to keep a clean business open in a decent area that serves up decent, good, and large portion meals. You are getting restaurant quality food that's all made to order or a reasonable price. I can't recommend this place enough, and I love knowing it's a mom and pops shop, and I hear them speaking Vietnamese in the back as they prep my food--LOVE it! read more

I LOVE Mango and Mint. So much so that I visit them almost biweekly. It's bad. Or good? Depending on my cravings, I usually go for the chicken or pork bahn mi, lemongrass chicken rice bowl or vermicelli bowl. Oh and don't forget the side of egg rolls. They give you hella food-No skimping here! Pro tip: Order ahead. It does take some time for your food to be ready but boy is it worth it. Don't go being rude to the aunties in there now. read more

I've been to mango and mint twice now, and both times, I felt like the sandwich was decent but not quite perfect. My main issue is with their bread. Their roll is quite big, which you would think is good, but it's a bit chewy and my jaw starts hurting before I finish the sandwich. The filling of the sandwiches is good. I've tried both the grilled chicken and the cold cut. Both were decent, but the breadddd! It's also just hurts me to pay $12 for a sandwich when they were like $2.50 growing up and you can still get them for like $6 in Oakland. Even at peppermint baguette on park st, it's only $8! The bf and I also did a side by side comparison of both the sandwiches and egg rolls at mango and mint and peppermint baguette and both agreed that peppermint baguette had much more flavor and was a better bang for your buck! Mango and mint def wins on presentation, and they've been super busy each time I've gone! It is cool to see them making the food up front though. read more

I was happy to see a new Vietnamese sandwich shop open up in Alameda. The exterior is bright and eye-catching, which is why I was curious in the first place. I decided to order online, which was super easy to do. We did a group order of sandwiches, drinks and egg rolls. When I went in for pick-up, they seemed really busy making sandwiches and people were waiting for their orders, so this place must already be popular. This is a takeout place -- I think I saw some chairs, but definitely don't plan to eat there. Sandwich was good, I got the lemongrass chicken banh mi. I think there could've been more meat and condiments in there, but it was still pretty tasty. The star of the show was the egg rolls. They were crispy and so scrumptious. I didn't try the drinks, but my coworkers said they were so refreshing. I am looking forward to trying the other sandwich options. read more

Absolutely in love with Mango and Mint! I stumbled upon this place after a long day at the Alameda Flea Market, and let me just say, it really was the cherry on top of a great day. Their tofu mushroom bánh mì was jet-packed with flavor and a multitude of textures that made every single bite a whole experience in itself. The tofu was cooked so well, and was seasoned to perfection. I'm still dreaming about this place, so I am 100% returning next time I'm in the area! read more

I've visited most Vietnamese restaurants in Alameda, but many are not great. Coming from San Jose, where I've experienced excellent Vietnamese food. If I want good Vietnamese food in the East Bay, I go to Oakland. Mango and Mint opened last year, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I ordered the Lemongrass pork vermicelli bowl. The bowl has grilled pork, vermicelli noodles, lettuce, mint, cilantro, cucumber, jalapenos, fried shallots, peanuts, and fish sauce. The meat quality was flavorful and not super fatty, like in some places. The fish sauce you pour into the bowl before mixing everything up is delicious. I had their BBQ pork banh mi recently, and it was great, too. They stuff their banh mi a lot compared to other places, but it's also expensive. An average banh mi in Oakland is around $6-8 compared to $12 at Mango and Mint. Their vermicelli bowl is at the right price point, so I recommend ordering this. read more

I am a regular customer here because of their portion size, quality, and menu options. They get very busy during lunch and rush hour so make sure to order ahead of time. The establishment have very few seating area, so its mainly ordered to go, but occasionally its nice to sit down and take a quick break. If you want to treat yourself, do try their smoothies since are made with quality ingredients and tastes refreshing and consistent every time. read more

So glad to finally found a banh mi sandwich shop that didn't skimp on the meat . Small cafe with limited seats by window - mainly for to go orders. Made an online lunch order and service was great - on time and quick .

$12 banh mi??? To my surprise, the sandwiches are actually HUGE & really good. I usually get my sandwiches at Ba Le in Oakland but Mango & Mint is a great alternative and without the wait. We also ordered a chicken salad and the portion was pretty big, the large clam shell container was packed. I got their mango strawberry smoothie as well and they make it with apple juice. I prefer milk to make it creamy but the juice was quite refreshing. I definitely want to come back and try their other items. read more

I was skeptical at first when I saw the price of the sandwich. I was thinking not another expensive vietnamese sandwich place again. I was wrong. The sandwich deserves the price tag. They hollow out the center of the bread and fill that thing up. Ive never seen any vietnamese establishment serve a vietnamese sandwich just as big in weight and size to its American counterpart. I had a hard time eating just half. Definitely worth the bang for the buck. read more

Pretty easy menu to read where they offer vermicelli bowls, various types of banh mi's, rice plates, egg rolls, spring rolls and smoothies. I ended up getting the ground beef banh mi which is huge! Easy to share with someone else. While the ground beef was good, it was very watery where I felt like I should have gone with a different choice of protein. What I will say is their spring rolls are delicious! You can also see them put the spring roll together which is cool. There is little seating inside and maybe 2-3 tables outside where you can sit. If you have a big group, I recommend maybe going somewhere else to eat. Overall, pretty good and would go back to try a different type of banh mi. read more

The sandwiches are HUGE! We walked over on Sunday and placed an order for 4 sandwiches and there was a lot of other people waiting for their food as well so it took some time. The wait was definitely worth it and I was extremely full after eating just half of my chicken Banh Mi. I also got to try the tofu and mushroom banh min and the mushrooms were sautéed very well and was also extremely filling and delicious! Although there is some seating available outside, this is more of a grab and go sort of place than sit down restaurant. It's really good! read more

I was disappointed when I went in to order the fresh spring rolls to see that the girl who had the blue gloves on making sandwiches was putting chicken into her mouth. And then going back to preparing the sandwiches putting chicken in them as well. Maybe they were her sandwiches, but you shouldn't be doing that in the food prep area when serving the public. It's negligent, food handling, and just gross and it made me lose my appetite If you're hungry, eat on your break or go in the back and eat and then wash your hands and come back . And the other lady was on the phone. I totally lost my appetite and left. Very disappointed because the spring rolls are pretty good. The last time I had them. read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon and they were pretty busy. We ordered at the counter and waited for them to call our number to pick up the food. We got the shrimp spring rolls and chicken banh mi along with two smoothies- strawberry mango and mango pineapple. The portions are big here. The spring rolls were packed with shrimp and very refreshing. After two rolls I was already full. The banh mi was also packed with chicken and the bread was toasty. The smoothies were just alright although they came in a big cup. We ate outside and it was nice warm day. The place itself is pretty small so there's not a lot of sit down space. I would definitely be back again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Mango & Mint has quickly become one of my go-to spots for Vietnamese food. Everything here is so clean and vibrant. The vegetables are always crisp and fresh, and the meats are perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and cooked to perfection. I especially love their vermicelli bowls and bánh mì. The flavors are bold but balanced, and the portions are generous. Big shoutout to their spring rolls too: plump, fresh, and packed with herbs and texture in a way most spots don't match. Their drinks and smoothies are fantastic as well, super refreshing, not overly sweet. One unexpected standout was the vegan bánh mì. I normally wouldn't have ordered it, and it blew me away. Savory, satisfying, and just genuinely delicious. Not just "good for vegan," but good, period. If you're looking for Vietnamese food that tastes incredibly fresh and thoughtfully made, Mango & Mint nails it every time. Highly recommend. read more
