Another banger. Their bahn mi is always fresh with freshly baked bread. Their Bi Chay Mi (vegan sandwich) is my go to.

My husband and I were starving after picking me up from work. He saw their sign on the way to get me so on the way home. I ordered the Asian chicken sandwich ($7.49) that was made with grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes pickled carrots on a freshly made baguette (My husband ordered the European roast beef sandwich ($10.99). It was a huge sandwich also made on fresh bread. The location is in an Asian grocery store so the atmosphere was just that. Not a problem.
I come here very often. Most of their meat pies are always sold out, lol I hate that part. I love their Banh Mi's(tried them all, my favorite was the pork cake combo with 2 eggs). I also come here for their Vietnamese "Butter"(its mayo lol). I can't end the day without 2 Large Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Otherwise, I'd go nuts! Service is great all the time, can't complain. Always a busy busy BUSY daily local place to come to. Area is clean, it changes all the time. There's always relocations for the pin pointed things I try to buy(its also a mini grocery).

It's kind of absurd how much hate this place gets based on the Yelp review. As someone who was born and raised in Oakland while living off of Banh Mi sandwiches since the old days of Ba Le still being across the street from the Continental Lodge I can say I have even more Banh Mi than most people drink water, and that's not a good thing, health wise. The point is, this place sells actually good sandwiches and when their bread is fresh it's genuinely enchanting. I get breakfast here every Sunday more or less, my preferred sandwich here is the Ba Chi, which is an interesting twist on the usual Pork Belly sandwich. I can say whole heartedly its VERY different from every other Ba Chi in the local area. Service is fine here, I speak Vietnamese fluently so ordering is always a breeze for me, but their English seems pretty good when I overhear other people order. I've even gotten sandwiches from here for lunch at my company and people love them too, the sandwiches here are really good and stay consistent. More than I can say for other local banh mi places now... But like everyone's else complaint that I can agree with is their god awful parking lot. It's a matter of going there at the right time where it's usually more reasonable. Tldr: One of the better Banh Mi places even if it's a chain, blows other local shops out of the water at this point Service is the employees getting the job done and your sandwich in your hands Parking sucks but lots of street parking in the neighboring blocks Their random items are good too

If your looking for a place that give you 1/3 coffee & 2/3 ice this is your place. For $7 definitely not worth it, your better off going to Costco purchasing a box for $22 and making your own ;

I personally think it is the best iced coffee in the bay area. Strong, cold, and a lot for its price.

It’s poor practice to keep customers change even if it is pennies, you are ripping off customers who paid cash instead of using a card.

I like this sub place best. I like how much meat there is and the fresh baked bread is so good. Not as good as Duc Huong but it's an hour closer. The staff is always friendly and efficient. Location is a bit run down and I always feel like they should have more grocery items.
