Stopped by here after a run on ocean beach. I was super hungry and in the mood for a sandwich. This spot did not disappoint. I tried the bbq pork banh mi and it was delicious. One thing about Mr Banh Mi is they do not skip out on the meat. It was stacked in the sandwich. They also had a good portion of veggies and the baguette was super soft. It's a grab and go spot, which was good for me since I had it to-go. I definitely will make my way back here. read more

I ordered a couple of banh mi from here to try: the classic grilled pork banh mu and the meatball banh mi. They arrived still warm and without mayo as requested. I liked the soft, chewy bread with a nice texture on the bottom and appreciated that the veggies were plentiful. Both the meatball and grilled pork banh mi had a good flavor, although I think the meatball could've used a little extra kick. Still, they were very good, and I liked them way more than another higher rated competitor in the Richmond. read more

Went on a weekend trip with my girlfriend to eat our way through San Francisco, and wanted to grab something nearby to bring into Golden Gate Park to watch the bison and wander around. We found Mr. Banh Mi in the nearby Outer Richmond neighborhood, and it looked legit from what we saw. It was our first time in the Outer Richmond, and it turned out to be a really charming area with lots of good food and cool little shops. Mr. Banh Mi is a small hole-in-the-wall with a pickup window and a tiny interior counter and kitchen. I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh Mi since the young man up front kindly recommended it, and my girlfriend ordered the Tofu Banh Mi. These sandwiches were super well-priced and came out fast, hot, and good-sized. They smelled amazing and had our mouths watering immediately. We ate half at the beginning of our walk and saved the other half for later in the day at Golden Gate Park. The BBQ pork had a great sauce on it and plenty of jalapeños and pickled veggies, mostly carrots, and not quite enough daikon for me personally, but it was absolutely loaded with meat and vegetables. It was delicious when fresh, but somehow even better a few hours later when I finished the second half. The sauce had soaked into the bread more, and the flavors really came together. I did miss the usual huge helping of buttery Vietnamese mayo, and there was no pâté, which was a slight disappointment for me. It did feel a little dry at first since the juicy marinated BBQ pork had to provide most of the moisture. That said, the bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and everything tasted super fresh. Overall, this was the perfect on-the-go meal, and I would definitely come back next time I'm heading to Golden Gate Park. read more

It was the Friday after Thanksgiving and almost all of the stores on Balboa St. were pretty much closed or sold out of food. I spotted this place and I'm so grateful I took a chance on it. I cannot recommend the BBQ Pork Banh Mi enough! I got extra cucumbers and sauce but honestly, totally fine without the extras. It's tucked off behind a bus stop and a tree so it's easy to miss unless you're looking for it. Highly recommend!! read more

The order: $10.95 BBQ pork sandwich $11.95 BBQ pork spring roll $9.95 panko fried shrimp $10.95 Special Combination sandwich Service was friendly but sadly this is a strictly takeout only place -- not even a stool to sit on outside. Their prices are fair. I think there's way too much carrots stuffed into the sandwiches. I liked the special combination, which is the sandwich I use to measure the authenticity of a banh mi place. I would not get the $10 panko shrimp again because they clearly tasted like frozen premade shrimp that they air fried. The bbq pork spring roll was also pretty mid for $12. If you're craving a bang mi and you don't wanna leave the neighborhood, I would recommend the combo. I almost got the fried chicken banh mi but they told me it's just chicken tenders -- WHAT?! read more

So delicious! Haven't had a banh mi in ages and whoa I've been missing out. I was deciding between a shrimp fresh roll and a tofu banh mi until they recommended #15 a bbq shrimp banh mi. It was so good! The sauce, the amount of carrots, mayo and a lot of shrimp! I will definitely be back. That was an amazing lunch and quick bite in the area. Service is made to order and quick. No seating and it's all take out. Just grab and go and enjoy the nice day out. read more

Service: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Value for $$: 5/5 Overall: 4/5 I've ordered many sandwiches from this place and it doesn't disappoint. I just hope they were open 7 days a week. It's a family owned restaurant, reasonably priced, and the quality is decent. My favorite is the BBQ pork banh mi. I have also tried the pork belly sandwich and beef BBQ, they are not as good as the bbq pork. The beef is a bit chewy and the pork belly is just way too fatty. read more

Swung by while in the area. Didn't really have any expectations going into it, but was definitely impressed! I got the banh mi dac biet and it was around $11. You order at the door, there's no seating. Food was ready in about 5-10 minutes. Taste wise it was good -- absolutely loaded with meat! The bread was crispy but still soft enough that it didn't cut the inside of your mouth. I do think there could have been more pickled carrots and daikon though. Overall a solid spot and I would come again if I was in the area, not sure if I would make the trek all the way out here otherwise for it. read more

Not much to say about Mr Banh mi, but it's one of my favorite Banh mi places in the Bay. They're decently sized and affordable (though their prices have gone up from when I was a kid, due to inflation). Sadly, Mr Banh Mi is to-go orders only, since they've closed the sit-down area of the restaurant and it's now just a storefront. Try the combo pork with extra pate. The pork belly is also very good. They pack the sandwiches with meat, so you'll get your money's worth here. read more

Mr Banh Mi - 14. Pork Belly Sandwich (Banh mi) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came to the Richmond Night Market to meet up with some friends and we got some sandwiches from here for dinner. I ordered a pork belly bahn mi, a bbq beef bahn mi and imperial rolls. Everything was delicious. I loved my pork belly sandwich. It was juicy and tasty. It had paté in it, which is my fave!Although a bunch of people ordered around the same as us, the staff didn't take too long to fulfill our orders. The place is tiny, with nowhere to eat, but it looked clean. read more

Mr Banh Mi - Special combo - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been going to this place for years and their quality has not gone down in my opinion. They're neatly tucked away and easy to miss if not for their large sign. It's not a sit down restaurant, just a door with a table to order from as well as a takeout window. They're also one of the few affordable banh mi shops in the Richmond. My usual order is either combination or tofu banh mi. Ingredients are fresh and they're stuffed to the max. The staff is polite and are quick even during busier times. I can't go a few weeks without a banh mi fix so I'm glad this is so close by. read more

Mr Banh Mi - Tofu banh mi with extra pate - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

After finishing up an errand in the neighborhood, I found myself trying to find a place that happened to still be open. A lot of the places in the area that I wanted to get food from were closed because it was a Monday or because it was after 3pm already. I saw the good reviews for Mr Banh Mi and was nervously excited to try this place since I love banh mis and the reviews here while mostly positive, some have mentioned that there are off days for the meats and sandwiches. I was especially nervous since it was the day before Christmas Eve and later in the day near closing time. I bit the bullet, called my order in and made my ways over. I pulled up and noticed a bunch of college kids at the bus stop eating their sandwiches and relief started washing over me. It has to be pretty good if there are still people grabbing a bite here this late in the day. The place has no seating and it's a grab and go spot, which we love since 90% of my dining is to go and I needed to charge my car on the way home. Tip selection reflected the nature of the business and to my surprise were 5/10/15% options. I'm a default middle button tipper or 18% tipper and even then I roll my eyes sometimes when the tip options head into the 30% range, especially if it's takeout. I got myself a bbq chicken banh mi and really wanted to get spring rolls but knew it would be too much food with a dinner plan approaching. The banh mi was perfect. The bbq chicken was sauced nicely and the meat was not too dry and not too wet, with the sauce, it almost had a bbq bao like consistency, not as traditional as your normal banh mis but definitely not unconventional. The sandwich was packed with vegetables. I normally get extra veggies at other places but another sigh of relief when I opened it up and saw it completely stuffed. The sandwich was so good, and I almost wished I had gotten the pork because I know that would have been phenomenal as well. The bread was still fairly fresh despite it being the end of day and had a nice crunch with the tear. The pictures don't really do it justice. It's too hard to show how big the portion is but at $10, it's well worth the price, especially if you're comparing it to the $6 banh mi you'd get at Saigon. They're way different sandwiches too. To wrap this up, I definitely will be back with a bigger appetite to go in on the other sandwiches and get the spring rolls, which also has a fairly diverse and unique lineup of bbq meats to chose from. One of the best banh mis in the city. Skip the Dinosaur by SFSU for this. read more

My family likes to go to Kim Son across the street and one day noticed this place across the street. I believe the owner has some relation to the business, so we decided to try it out since we love Kim Son's food! Bbq pork - 4/5, super flavorful pork! Didn't quite seem like your typical grilled pork, but I didn't mind. It still had that bbq pork flavor, which was very strong. Luckily, the pickled veggies helped tame the flavor. Combo - 4/5, fatty pork belly and sliced pork deli meat. Pretty good, I usually always get chicken but decided to try combos. Not too salty, but still tasted good. The different types of pork gave it a lot of texture, which I liked. Although these sandwiches were solid as is, I definitely think they could have added a thicker layer of mayo and paté. It was a very thin spread, and I personally like a generous amount. read more

I generally don't like to leave bad reviews unless warranted and to warn people. Overall, not a bad place or experience, but I have no intentions to come back anytime soon. Service was ok, there were no other customers and our food didn't take long. Egg rolls are a hard pass. There was a pool of grease at the bottom of the box. Nobody complained about any of their sandwiches (bbq beef & bbq pork). Combo sandwich looks good. ** my pork belly sandwich was not that good. Super small thin slices of meat and only 4 small pieces of recognizable pork belly. The rest looked like lean pork loin, no belly fat. My whole sandwich was buried under carrots, I had to dig to find the meat. read more

Searching up for some inexpensive eats and came across Mr. Banh Mi! So my bf and I decided to grab a few sandwiches here. VIETNAMESE HEADCHEESE SANDWICH ~ I love headcheese. because of its chew texture! Had to try this. With the headcheese, they add pâté spread and mayo. Pretty decent sized Banh Mi for $9! It had a good amount of pickled veggies as well as meat. I enjoyed the crispy toasted French roll too! Filled me for quite a while. 5/5 BBQ PORK SANDWICH ~ My bf had this and enjoyed it! I took a bite and liked the BBQ pork. It really shines in the sandwich. 5/5 Awesome sandwiches! We'll be back to try other things on the menu. read more

Got a banh mi sandwich once or twice in the past but thought their bread were too hard. Fast forward a few years and today I decided to get a combo sandwich after a run, and asked them to toast the bread to make it softer, and wow it was 10/10. Will come back! read more

In the neighborhood, dropped by Mr. Bánh Mì at 3605 Balboa Street, cross 37th Avenue. Was in a veggie mood so items ordered today were MEATLESS! Small, no-frills takeout (no dine-in/seating) for Vietnamese banh mi, rolls, fried snacks and limited beverages. Ordering was quick and easy, questions answered patiently and nicely. Standard banh mi adds: cucumbers, cilantro, pickled carrots, daikon, Vietnamese Mayo, & jalapeños. Ordered: #6 TOFU BANH MI (DÂU HÚ) - chose this v. 7 because it had more tofu. This Banh mi was very well-balanced, filled with prepped tofu, fresh pickled veggies, Mayo and fresh slices of jalapeños! Couldn't get over the pickled julienned carrots, SO good! Could find myself asking for extra jalapeños next time. Mayo was spare but it worked for me. Flavors, veggies, bread and prepared tofu was great! Definite would order again. #19 VEGETARIAN SPRING ROLLS (GÓI CUÕN CHAY) - chock full of fresh herbs and greens, bits of tofu, slivered mushrooms, vermicelli in a rice paper wrapper. Surprise soy sauce-fish sauce-vinegar dipping sauce that I eyed warily BUT was really good. Guess the Ubiquitous peanut sauce would have overwhelmed this meatless offering. Sauce matched perfectly with the spring roll of green, herby, heavenly WOWNESS! This roll could be a light meal because it was densely packed and oh so good with each delicious bite with sauce. Easily ONE OF THE BEST Fresh Spring Rolls ever!! Now a fav go-to! Mr. Bánh Mì is Small home grown banh mi business that has its regular customers streaming in for their daily banh mi fix. The prices are fantastic: banh mi $8.95-$10.95, fresh spring rolls $8.95-10.95, fried imperial rolls & won tons $8.95, fried chicken wings $9.50, Extras: fried egg $1.50, Pate $1.00 & Vegetables $1.00. Beverages are limited to ice milk coffee and Thai tea BUT who cares?!? It's Mr. Bánh Mì! Parking can be challenging in the neighborhood but it can be done. Cannot wait to come back to try their other banh mi's especially with pate and pork, pork belly, chicken, shrimp & fish yummy goodness! See you there! Drooling... read more

I was in search for a Banh Mi and it was not just an ordinary Banh Mi but something different than the standard beef and pork. I was in the mood for seafood and I went and visit Mr. Banh Mi which offered the BBQ Fish sandwich. The BBQ Fish sandwich did pack a good punch like Rocky Balboa in the movie Rocky and it's located on Balboa street in San Francisco. The BBQ fish was so tender with a little marinate juice to it from the ingredients between the buns. Each bite was a little different and tasty and it may have been the contribution of the veggies. Then there was the fried panko shrimp. It was good a little crumbing but for less than $10 is a good value. It had good pieces of shrimp. The store has no seating but Mr. Banh Mi is a stand up place for good Banh Mi. I was trying to look for Mr. Banh Mi but at no avail. I didn't even see Mrs. Banh Mi either. Although it's Summer and soon to be Autumn this place also offers Spring rolls. This place is a pick up spot for Vietnamese Banh Mi and has good merit This place is a shining gem for Banh Mi with cilantro, jalapeño and lots of carrot read more

Very small window front. You could drive by and miss it. This place cranks out sandwiches with big servings and big flavors! Easy to order. On the app or walk up and order. Fast and efficient. Simple pleasure to experience their food. Saved 1/2 of my sandwich for later. That's a great return on money spent. Must try if you haven't already eaten there. There is no area to sit down. But that shouldn't stop you from going! Best sandwich for quantity and quality!! 5 stars! read more

Mr Banh Mi is a very popular sandwich shop in the outer Richmond district of San Francisco. Long lines. We called ahead and avoided the line. 4.4 stars on Yelp. Clearly popular because they are cheap. We'd take the more expensive sandwich at Banh Mi Crunch or Boba and Banh Mi instead. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Shredded Pork Bahn Mi ($10) Shredded pork with pickled carrots, fresh cucumber, jalapeños, cilantro, and mayonnaise in a crispy baguette was cheap but the meat proved to be dry and uninspiring. Bread, veggies, etc was ok. Next time we may try the #9 BBQ Pork. 7/10 Overall - Good Food - Good Decor - Good Service - Very Good Value - Excellent Would we come back - No read more

Neighborhood Bahnmi place with decent Bahnmi sandwiches and imperial rolls. Service is efficient and friendly when we visited. We also tried them via delivery.

Lots of great choices within walking distance. read more

Happen to be in the area and found Mr Banh Mi. It looks unassuming, with just a pick up window (no seating, but there's a parklet right nearby for Devils Teeth Baking Company and many other banh mi goers sat there). My go to banh mi is always thit nuong/BBQ Pork, so I had to order that, and wow - really solid banh mi! Food: The bread was a nice chewy soft texture with slightly crisp outside (not too thick either). The meat was SO juicy and tasty! It almost had more "bbq" sauce to it (thinking very much like bulgolgi) versus being a more dry meat. They give a nice portion of the pickled carrots/daikon (though personally for me it could have been more sour/pickled in flavor), as well as a couple slivers of jalepeno and a slice of cucumber. Price: It's a little pricier at $8.95 per banh mi compared to other places I frequent, but seems on par for SF; total ~$24 for 2 BBQ pork banh mis and 2 diet cokes. Service: There was almost a constant trickle of people walking up to the window to order and pick up; the service was courteous and fast. Definitely satisfied my banh mi craving and recommend this banh mi shoo if you're in the Balboa/golden gate park area! read more

When I see patrons STANDING OUTSIDE PATIENTLY waiting for their order to be presented, AND it's banh mi; it's a must stop for me! Firstly, this is a walk-up spot without seating. For me that was not an issue since I like to walk and snack when I'm visiting a new place or part of a town. The space is super clean and has an organized kitchen area. The attendant arrived at the cash point quickly and took my order which was a BBQ chicken banh mi. I added a milky code when I saw the shelf lined with Cafe Du Monde chicory blend. I then took my place on curb in front of the cafe along with another customer who is a local. When I asked what his favorites were, he quickly said the tofu and barbecue chicken (made me smile!). Folks the banh mi and coffee were truly exceptional! read more

Tasty and cheap Vietnamese food in the Richmond! We ordered the 1) beef banh mi, 2) pork banh mi, and 3) pork spring rolls. Our sandwiches were full of meat and veggies, and we really liked the pork marinade. The bread was nicely crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The spring rolls were big and filled with the right amount of pork. They were considerate of my allergy and replaced the peanut dipping sauce (that normally comes with the dish) with fish sauce (nuoc cham). Service was quick, even though there was a line out front. We waited about 10 min for our food. It was $8 for each sandwich and $10.85 for the spring rolls. Note that there's no seating or water. Take your food to go -- we walked down to ocean beach and had a nice picnic with our takeout. read more

I really hate to admit that it's getting harder and harder to find a banh mi for under $10 (including tax and tip) in SF. Mr. Banh Mi still dishes out packed rolls for $8-9 and they offer 2 vegan options -tofu or veggies. The tofu is marinated in a teriyaki sauce, so it's not just dry and plain. It is packed with veggies and the jalapenos are spicy. They also offer vegan spring rolls for about the same price. Great spot to pick up and enjoy at GGP or the beach down the road! read more

I would rate this a 2/5 stars. - Special Combination Bahn Mi - this comes with a variety of pork and ham meats with carrots, cucumber, cilantro and jalapeños inside. 5/5 stars Metered or street parking in this area. read more

One thing I know I can count on when traveling to San Francisco, is knowing for sure I'll find good unique food that I can't find in the super small Nevada town I live in. One of my FAVORITE meals is Báhn Mì and Shrimp Spring rolls! So when my friend and I visited, I intentionally looked it up. Enter Mr Báhn Mì!!!! A small walk up business by the ocean which had the BEST Báhn Mì I've legit ever had. Parking was crazy because it's meter street parking only. They don't have a parking lot. So sometimes you have to circle the block waiting for a spot or find one further away and walk. We got lucky and got one SUPER close!! We got a BBQ Beef and a Pork Belly Báhn Mì and some spring rolls with peanut sauce and shared! We each tried a half of each sandwich and the BBQ Beef was flavorful and AMAZING!! The pork belly wasn't as good as we was expecting, and the spring rolls were awesome but had a bit too much mint for my liking. Next time I'd order it without, because it was over powering for me. The sandwich was everything and I want to try the BBQ Pork next time!!! read more
