This Vietnamese sandwich shop in the Rancho San Antonio district of downtown Oakland doesn't look like much. However, it's worth the detour for its flagship Vietnamese street food sandwiches - chicken, pork or vegetarian - which are renowned throughout the city and unbeatable value. Ready-to-eat dishes that just need reheating are also available. Proof that you shouldn't be fooled by appearances: even the most unattractive storefronts can hide real treasures!

Wasn't open; Google says "Temporarily closed". But as of Nov 28, sign on door says, "Closed until Dec 15, 2023". Will try again.

Favorite Banh Mi spot in the Bay Area north of Vietnam Town in San Jose. They have an absurd amount of options, cheaper prices, fast service, quality smoothies, and solid Vietnamese style coffee. The staff are friendly and they offer free parking in the back. The only con is they're only open Fri-Sun until 3pm-3:30pm so expect a line although it'll go by quickly.

Best banh mi in Oakland - when they’re actually open. I know they are only open Friday through Sundays now. Went by today (Saturday) and guess what? They are closed till December 15th smh.

Great banh mi sandwiches that are extremely affordable (~$6)! Customer service was great but requires some effort to receive because of how busy the business is. We catered about 15 sandwiches, fresh spring rolls, papaya salad and shrimp spring rolls for under $160. Had to order in-person because I had no luck trying to order by phone but definitely worth the effort.

Deliciously marinated tender beef sandwich. I would return and try a different sandwich on the menu board.
