Banh Mi Zon - Petaluma — Restaurant in Petaluma

The food was subpar at best. I ordered a bahn mi with barbecued pork. To me, a bahn mi can be sort of like pizza in the way that even if it's bad, it's usually still alright. This bahn mi changed that for me. The meat was very oily and had a sickly sweet flavor to it. The vegetables were good, but the bread was so hard. I am confident it was just overly toasted and not stale though. I was able to finish it, so that's something at least. I was certainly not thrilled about it. For $15 the bbq pork bahn mi is quite a bad value and I would not recommend.

I was the first person in line to order and the cashier was not attentive at all. Things happen and people are sometimes in the middle of things when you walk in, totally understand. The person behind me orders as well and also ordered a bbq pork bahn mi. This person decides to wait for their sandwich right next to the order receiving counter. The cashier that took my order calls out bbq pork bahn mi and slides it across the counter directly to the person waiting there when I ordered first! Sometimes things happen, and of course I am not going to attempt telling another patron "Hey, I think that is my sandwich" potentially escalating the situation. I figured because we both ordered the same thing, eventually I'll get one as well. So, another worker calls out order ready and so then I go up to grab it. I went ahead and took the sandwich and asked the worker "This is bbq pork right?" and then he stares blankly at me like he either didn't understand me or I was asking a stupid question. I ask again and no response.

So, as you can imagine, with this experience overall and the inconvenient location of this storefront, I would highly NOT recommend you visit. There's definitely better...

Finally a Bahn Mi sandwich restaurant in Petaluma! They just opened this week and show a lot of promise.

Located in the former Subway Sandwich store in the Lakeville Plaza at Lakeville Hwy and Casa Grande Rd. Nice decor inside with bar seating along the windows and limited indoor seating, and some outdoor seating.

Option to self-order at tablets (credit card only) or at the counter (cash). It was faster ordering at self- ordering tablets.

Nice resin displays of sample foods and beverages.

Ordered a Traditional Banh Mi, Pork Belly Banh Mi, Mushroom Rice Bowl, Avocado Spring Rolls and two Boba Drinks. All were flavorful with minor issues with consistency. The bread on the sandwiches were not toasted the same. One was great, the other over toasted and hard. The pork belly wasn't evenly distributed on the bread with it favoring one side of the bun.

Loved the option for cheese foam on the beverages. If you've never tried it, you should! It provides a creamy, rich, sweet foamy topping. Don't be fooled by the name, it doesn't taste like cheese.

Hoping that the speed and efficiency will improve. We ordered to-go and it took close to 40 minutes to get our order. I recommend ordering in advance online for quicker in-and- out time.

Staff was pleasant and friendly.

If you want to use the restroom, then note that it's accessible from the outside of the building. There's no inside access from the establishment.

Looking forward to trying more options...

I love this place! The people who work here are cheerful and helpful and efficient. I have both eaten at their little outdoor table and also picked up to go orders on several occasions. The first time I ate there, I was so happy with the food, that I ate there again the very next day! I love their very fresh Banh Mi. If you like fresh vegetables with sweet and tangy and spicy (jalapeño) tastes, you will love their food. There are both traditional and vegan options. I have eaten banh mi at several places, and this is...
