Banh Mi Love — Restaurant in San Francisco

Ordered 4 banh mi: BBH special, pulled pork, bbq pork and the combo.

The sandwiches were stuffed exactly how I see in the pictures. I saw the high ratings so decided to go into SF to grab some (husband and I were at Muir Woods).

The baguette itself is really good, however, the flavor wasn’t there for me. Just personal preference/taste. I found the meat on all of them to be a little bland. The best part would probably be the veggies on all the sandwiches. The pate is on the sweeter side for me as well.

For the price, I expected it to be a little bigger, but it is SF 🤷‍♀️

Service was okay. I ordered online thru Yelp/GrubHub and just picked up my order so there weren’t much interaction with the workers.

Would recommend to people to...

Whenever you are in the Stonestown neighborhood and craving a delicious Vietnamese sandwich, Banh Mi Love is a solid choice.

I like their Red Curry Spicy Tofu Sandwich, which has good baguette-like bread that tastes fresh, the usual trappings of banh mi (pickled carrots, onions, cucumber, cilantro) along with firm tofu that is seared and a red curry aioli that doesn't overpower. With just the right amount of mild sweetness, every bite has the crunch of the bread, and the deliciousness of the seared tofu. They have a gingery tofu banh mi as well for vegetarians, but I find it a tad too sweet for my palate.

Tip: Head there for lunch, and beat the lines by ordering on their website. They shut around 4.30 pm...

September 2022: Stopped by for lunch and tried the tofu banh mi. This place is a bit hard to find. You have to walk into the main lobby of the medical building on the corner. Once inside, go past the elevators to the left.

I thought the tofu banh mi was really tasty. Bread 🍞 was perfect. Like a traditional banh mi sandwich where the bread is airy. 👍

Tofu was soft and fluffy. They put a red curry sauce that went well with the pickled carrots and jalapenos. Overall, great sandwich! Glad that there's a great Vietnamese sandwich option in this part...
