I've been stopping by Mon Suprette for their Pork Banh Mi for months now. It's my favorite Banh Mi in Oakland, and that's saying a lot because there are a lot of options in tha town. Yesterday I tried the five spice chicken Banh Mi for the first time and it was really good and a little lighter. I've also tried the garlic noodles and was not disappointed. So delicious. Off the food is pre-prepared waiting for you to pick it up at the front deli style. But if you do need a sandwich made, it's always ready for me in under 10 minutes. read more

Mon Superette feels a bit overrated. The food isn't bad, but it's nothing special. The menu is very small, so choices are quite limited, and the quality is just okay. There are many Vietnamese restaurants that offer better food and value. The chicken wings are pricey at $12 for 4 pieces. The prawn salad (or prawn with rice noodles) tasted bland. We went around 1:30-2:00 pm, and most items were either sold out or hadn't been replenished, leaving very few options. The bánh mì wasn't available at all, which was disappointing. Overall, not a place I would go back to. read more

Yummy Garlic Noodles!! Ordered the garlic noodles with tofu and it was delicious, savory, and I loved the chew/bite of the noodles! A bit salty but had good flavor! The restaurant is small and is mostly for take out. There are no chairs or tables to sit at except a small bench facing a window. It doesn't look like much from outside looking in, but definitely step inside and try the garlic noodles! They're tasty! read more

Mon Superette - Crab cake sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Piedmont, California

Amazing recommended if you're around, terrific candy chicken and garlic noodles and the chicken is very crispy

I had the chance to try out Mon Superette today because my wife had a yoga class nearby on Piedmont and picked up some food to-go for the two of us. She grabbed a crab sandwich from the ready-made section along with an order of spring rolls. The spring rolls were some of the best I've had. The lettuce inside was crisp and refreshing, paired nicely with the fragrant sprigs of mint. The shrimp were plump, and the vermicelli noodles had a nice bounce to them--just like the outer rice paper wrapper, which had great texture. The rolls were tightly wrapped, making them easy to eat without the filling falling apart. Poorly made rolls often unravel with each bite, but that wasn't an issue here. The accompanying peanut sauce was well balanced -- sweet and savory, though a bit thinner than I personally prefer. Nonetheless, it was a very enjoyable dipping sauce that I wish I had more of. The crab sandwich was excellent. The crab cake had the crispy, golden texture of a deep-fried hash brown but was generously packed with crab meat. It was topped with just the right amount of slaw: enough to add contrast without overpowering the crab. Even after sitting for a bit, the bread held up well and didn't get soggy. You get three pieces per order, making it a great option for sharing. This casual, to-go venture from the team behind Bacogai is seriously impressive. I'll definitely be back to try some of their hot food items next time. read more

Still delicious! The lady also is so nice! Super cute place! Highly recommend! Definitely try the bahn mi!

We were on Piedmont Ave and looking for a quick grab and go option. I found Mon Superette and we decided to give it a go. Ordered through the DoorDash app and got the shrimp summer rolls and the chicken wings. Pickup was nice and easy and they have utensils, condiments/sauces, etc, all easily available to grab. The shrimp summer rolls were amazing! The rice paper was perfectly moist - not hard like you sometimes get at other places and not too wet where it falls apart. The shrimp was nice and bouncy and veggies and herbs were fresh and crunchy. The peanut sauce was also super tasty! This is a really good shrimp summer roll. The chicken wings were just okay. They were freshly fried to order and were nice and crispy, but I wasn't a huge fan of the glaze. Beyond the batter and glaze, the chicken meat beneath had absolutely no flavor. You get 4 wings for $12 - $3/wing, which seems quite expensive. I wish the description specifically listed how many wings as it's not clear from the photos. We would likely skip this next time! Overall, a solid grab and go option on Piedmont Ave and we look forward to trying some of the vermicelli bowls and sandwiches next time around. read more

Tofu Summer Rolls, Fresh Rolls, Spring Rolls, whatever you want to call them, they are a favorite of mine. The form factor, the freshness, the variation from roll to roll, I love it all. This said, there are many choices on Piedmont Ave. For $9 with a tía tô Viet shiso kick and light purple vermicelli noodles inside, this to-go option is a go-to. The people are always kind, there's sriracha behind the counter, and they recently started doing banh mi which is amazing. There's a cute little bench facing the window if you can't wait to eat them where you can people-watch for a moment and free-advertise, which I've done, bringing in folks who have not yet tried the deliciousness at this friendly neighborhood spot. Must try. read more

I came at the end of the day and got what was left: che thai, fancy pork spring rolls, and egg sando. Their peanut sauce is different - thick and not drippy. Spring roll is made with banh hoi noodles so it held together well. Not messy and didn't break easily. The egg sando was also good and not drippy and messy. They messed up my banh mi order but was willing to remake it. It is pricey for Viet deli food but it is healthy and decent. I haven't tried the sandwich and che thai yet but so far so good. The owner seems more Chinese than Viet and she can speak Spanish so pretty cool. read more

Mon Superette - Egg sando and che thai - Vietnamese Near Me - Piedmont, California

Great Asian lunch selections from their grill or in a grab n go format, featuring Japanese Sandos and Vietnamese Spring Rolls and much more. Fast and friendly staff is right there to take your order and get you on your way! Eat in? There is a small counter along the storefront window for you to enjoy your meal. As expected, this little storefront embodies that weekday lunch kinda vibe, but with modern touches in their simple decor. One of the things I miss from Japan are the convenience stores serving really fresh, inexpensive and delicious Japanese sandos (sandwiches). Thankfully Mon Superette has bravely stepped up to answer the call! I loved their crab cake sandwich and the egg salad was good too. Both were served on soft pillowy milk bread with the crust trimmed off in the Japanese style. It was almost like eating a cloud! I can't wait to be back for another crab cake sando!! They said that they will be expanding their grab n go menu soon too! read more

4/17/25 - Long overdue review! I was exploring Oakland and wanted to try this small shop for their sandwiches! The owner was really nice and the sandwich was as good as it looked in pictures! I think I may have gotten the crab cake sando. Anyway... I would totally go back if I'm ever in the area. There's not a lot of seating, but most customers just did grab and go. I can't remember if I took phone pics of the shop, but here are some film pics I took of it. read more

Ordered on doordash so fresh and delicious!! Ordered the chicken salad, chicken bun bowl and shrimp spring roll. We loved it.

Cute food togo, yummy Vietnamese taste. Grab and go service. Recommended. Update 9/15/25: Now they have the famous Vietnamese Saigon Banh mi, excellent taste of Saigonnais elites before 1975. Delicious in compare with 2 famous places in Saigon before 1975. 1. Banh mi gà Duyên Dáng on Lê Văn Duyệt, Q.3 2. Banh mi Jambon and Gà rôti Hương Lan of Nhà Thờ Đức Bà or Bưu Điện Saigon. read more

I am so into the idea of this place and hope to make an updated review that's different than this one. I have to be honest though and say the tofu summer rolls were bland and underwhelming. For that price ($9) they should def be bigger and taste like something. They will also need to find a way to separate them because they stick together and are likely to rip apart. The tofu is plain/no flavor, definitely needs to be seasoned. There were no herbs at all and the dipping sauce was ehh and couldn't save it. I will come back to try some more items and am hopeful they can improve the summer rolls. A couple stars given because staff is pleasant and the place is a good little grab and go spot idea. They gotta up their game cause it's a good concept for those that don't want Ebiko sushi up the way. read more

This mini-mart is perfect for a quick bites to-go. It's the sister shop to Bacogai in Alameda, so no surprise the food here is fresh and tasty, as well! This was my second time stopping in. I highly recommend the Crab Cake Sando, the Garden Salad with Shrimp, the Fancy Pork Summer Rolls and of course, the delicious Vietnamese Ice Coffee! BONUS: they have the good ice!! If you know, you know!! The service is always friendly and the ambiance is welcoming. You won't regret picking up lunch from Mon Superette! read more

freshly batter-fried banana. is it the best cold-weather snack? def was on a chilly grey wednesday afternoon in February! late late lunch stop to check out this newish to-go place. there's a small window bench where you can wait a few minutes for your banana but it's not really space to eat. there's a small refrigerated case that holds ready-made sandos, salads, bowls and drinks (there may be more if you go closer to lunch?). think they also make hot drinks to order. sandos on milk bread, sliced in thirds. i appreciated that the small rectangles were easier to eat neatly - tho i might just be a messy eater. tried the crab cake because its season, was tasty and had to leave 1/3 for later because banana but the panko crust was still slightly crunchy even the next morning. slaw helped balance both flavor and texture. soft but never mushy milk bread keeps softer fillings from squeezing out. but. the. banana! hot, crunchy, sesame flecked lightly sweet coating holds melty banana lava. you can't help but break into it immediately as you walk down the street nibbling and grinning and make everybody else want one. read more

Tofu Bahn Mi was out of this world. Can't wait to order again. The bread is a perfect combo of crunch without being dried out. The toppings are perfectly pickled. Best Bahn Mi I've had in the Bay Area! read more

I ordered the lemongrass pork bahn mi. The bread and veggies were good but the pork was very crumbly and tiny pieces of meat. I think it would be better to leave it in strips or pieces, the texture and flavor was changed because of this for me. I actually pulled out the meat and ate it as a veggie sandwich. read more

Lemon grass pork banh mi. Get it, $11. Affordable, delicious, fast. Perfect lunch grab.

Been hitting this spot frequently the past month or so, and I LOVE IT! The Sando Sandwiches, the various rolls, are absolutely delicious. Recently I tried a yellow curry with vermicelli noodles and I was mind blown. Absolutely, frikin delicious!! The curry wasn't too thick and wasn't too runny either. Mon Superette is most definitely one of the newest highlights on Piedmont Ave. read more

I've tried to give Mon Superette a fair shot, but it's kind of turning into a wild goose chase for banh mi. I've stopped by multiple times, no banh mi. Today I swung by, right at opening (11am), noon, and even 12:30--and every time, no banh mi in sight. I was told to come back at Noon, too. Just one very chill person working and a few things in the fridge. At this point, tracking down a sandwich here feels like trying to catch a rare Pokémon. Maybe they exist? Maybe it's a myth? Who knows. I really want to like this place, but it just doesn't seem to be run all that well. read more

Everything I've tried here is so fresh and delicious - best banh mi outside of Vietnam. Friendly and very clean. read more

A lovely little Piedmont spot to pick up a quick lunch, with solid offerings! My favorite is their lemon chicken banh mi--the French bread is so crispy and good, and the garlic aioli really hits without being overwhelming, great fresh ingredients overall. The owner also owns Bacogai in Alameda which is another favorite, and is clearly passionate about Vietnamese food. Other great bites include the pork spring rolls for a light and healthy option, and enjoy the green Thai tea a lot--creamy, not too sweet, but definitely wakes you up. read more

Came here on a busy day and omg . The store is super cute and the owner put a lot of thought into the space. The grab and go concept is awesome and convenient. I had the crab Sando which was recognized in the sf chronicle and a red Thai tea. It was delicious, light, easy to eat, and AMAZING price point. My drink was about $6, and my sand which was $13. Definitely coming back to try everything one menu and the service was excellent. Owner is always in store so pop in when you get a chance. read more

Grab and go sister to Alameda's popular Bacogai hot pot, Mon Superette is offering quick and light meals for folks on the move. There is a cold case filled with drinks, salads, spring rolls, and sandwiches and a limited to order hot menu. There is also a fun assortment of snacks at the register, including potato chips and puffed rice bars (really recommend the matcha vanilla). There are no tables, but there is a bench to wait or snack. I had the $12 fancy pork summer roll, which comes with a lightly spiced peanut sauce and deliciously crispy pork. These were much more filling than I anticipated so I feel like I got a good deal for the cost. For $6 I took home Vietnamese coffee which is sweet and bold. I also ordered the $11 garlic noodles for later - well seasoned and tasty, perfect to throw in some veggies and protein at home. The staff are also very attentive and kind! As the new grab and go on the block with only a week open, there are plans to expand a hot plate section. With Oori and Ebiko on the same block, I would like to see a few more options in the under $10 range, but the food is definitely filling and delicious. I'll be back! read more

Love grabbing a quick bite here before my class nearby. My favorites are the crab sandwich, garlic noodles with shrimp, peach tea, & fried banana. Am planning on coming back soon to try out their Vietnamese sandwiches. read more

Was just opening up and caught a few items. The salad dressing on the pretty simple salad was the real standout, as was the service. I wanted to like the garlic noodles more but alas, the hunt continues for the perfect garlic noodles. The noodles themselves were good, very fresh tasting, but missing a flavor component. read more

I want to love this place, as others have said, but it was just ok. Our imperial rolls came with no sauce, which was a shame because they are pretty bland. I assume this was in error since I see sauce in at least one photo here for the imperial rolls, so I recommend checking before you leave. The fancy pork summer roll was good, but didn't have enough of the sauce that was included in the grab and go box. The wings are well fried, though, and the noodles good, but not good enough to make up for the imperial rolls. read more

I miss simply Greek before they had a new owner destroy the restaurant. The viet coffee and coconut milk drinks are great here. The imperial roles are good but expensive for take out. Will need to come back and try more food read more

I bought the Fancy Springrolls and it was very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised. Never had purple fine vermicelli noodles before, but found it to be good. Will be returning to try their other foods. I liked how fast, clean, and convenient it was also. read more

Just got a quick lunch from them today and it was affordable and delicious. The crab cake sandwich was $13 for 3 little sandwich halves with a tasty Vietnamese flavored slaw on them. Overall the sandwich ate a tiny bit too sweet for my tastes, but it was still really good and I'd absolutely go back and try other items. Super filling and affordable given it's crab! read more
