Grab a bite at the undisputed king of Vietnamese sandwiches , where lunch can still be had for mere pocket change. BBQ Pork is the standard order here (splurge for the combo with a slathering of pâté ). Read more

Staff Picks

With some of the best Banh Mi in the Bay Area, no wonder the line for this sandwich shop is across the block. But we assure you, once you get it in your hands, it will be worth the wait. Read more

SFist

BBQ Pork is the standard order here, but anything on the menu will only run you $3.75 and comes stuffed on a French baguette with the usual accoutrements of pickled carrots , jalapeños , and cilantro . Read more

Lucero Viktoria

good banh mi and a great budget lunch option in the area! get the combo, and try to push the salad and peppers evenly into the sandwich before your first bite, for an even flavor throughout.

J John

Best Vietnamese sandwiches in the entire U.S. (not an exaggeration). Maybe there's a place in Vietnam that does a job as good as these guys. Roast pork , meatball , and 5-spice chicken Bahn Mi are A++

Chefs Feed

The best is the pork combo at Saigon Sandwich. It's an ethereal blend of steamed and roasted pork , pâté , cilantro , chilies and sweet pickled carrots on a toasted baguette . Read more

For the price this place is great. At $3.75 a sandwich , you can't lose. Bread is a crunchy and meats are good. Roasted pork is better than the fanci pork .

Simon Burns

Straight balling, in the middle of the TL ghetto but the tofu was drenched in amazing sauce and the insanely speedy hands that made them, was quite a sight to watch too!

Natalia M. Homolova

This is a must do for any #banh #mi lovers. It's a takeaway place and as authentic as it gets.

Luu Tran

It's literally, a hole-in-the-wall, but these kinds of places are the BEST places. It's simple banhmi sandwiches but they're delicious. I got the combination!

SFGate

The sandwiches are fresh and compact, with vibrant fillings like soft pork meatballs ($3.75) or the combination ($4.25), with pork and pate . Read more

Ondrej

A veggie tofu sandwich I had was spicy , but it was somewhat pleasant spicyness I've never tasted before. Large sandwiches for a low price and they open early, so it's a good place for a breakfast .

Nuri Jeon

First experience of Bahnmi but all two kinds of Bahnmi were surprisingly l and gorgeously delicious. Have never been able to find better one across the States . Miss it!

Serious Eats

Excellent, cheap bahn mis bring lunchtime crowds to this Tenderloin spot. Don't skip the non-sandwich snacks like glutinous rice pudding , either.

Sabina B.

Huge, delicious sandwich for $3.75! Cash only . Only downside is location - it's in the middle of sketchy handful of blocks. Pro tip: if you're walking, take Polk to Eddy

Nicholas Poon

Best Banh Mi in the Bay Area. Price has gone up compared to before but still unbeatable within the area. Roast Pork sandwich is the star per usual.

SFist

Their simple but perfect banh mi sandwiches ($3.25 to $3.75) are one of the best deals in town . And don't settle for the various imitators within a few blocks near Little Saigon. Read more

Thê-Minh Trinh

Tasty vietnamese sandwiches for $4 or less (cash only ). The Banh mi thit (roasted pork ) is the one you have to try.

David Heiser

Some of the best banh mi I've had. Get the combination with roast pork , pork loaf and pate !

Keyue Bao

Definitely the sandwich , but also try the taro drinks in the fridge ! The ones with translucent bubbles make great desserts

AFAR Media

I crave this caramel-y roasted pork Banh Mi at Saigon Sandwich. It's got to be the best $3.50 meal in San Francisco. Read more

Reshmi Vadakel

Confused about what to order? Give front order lady a confused look and she'll prompt you to get a combo. I order a half roasted pork + half meatball pork banh mi . Arguably the best I've ever had!!

Tejesh Mehta

Best tofu bahn mi I’ve had in the SF

Danielle Dai

My life has gotten better now that these banh mihs are in my life. I will be trying every sandwich . $3.75? What a steal.

Chuck Reynolds

simple said - there is no better deal on the best banh mi sandwich anywhere. just watch your six... you're in a bad area.

Nooka Jones

Best tofu banh mi . Only two seats; I recommend bumming it on the blue corner jawn across the street. Take extra napkins.

JC

The tofu banh mi is seriously good & I love the veggies , but I ask for Sriracha & extra Jalapeño

Dustin La Presh

All of the banh mi are really good, but my fave is the meatball . If you like pate , try the Special Combo. You will not be disappointed.

Aldo Rodriguez

The chicken sandwich it's really really good and cheap , but they add some peppers and gets super spicy , if you're not into spicy food just let them know.

Cindy Tsui

most authentic banh mi I've had since i moved from San Jose!

Wendy Qi

Best banh mi in San Francisco (and cheap ... $3.75 for a good sized sandwich )my go to is roast chicken with pate

Jiexi Cao

This combination pate sandwich is sooo good. Please tip. $4 feels like robbery. Their dessert drinks in the fridge are delicious too

Johanna Evans

The tofu Banh Mi is delicious. Don't be put off by the location or long lines . You can't find a better Vietnamese sandwich in San Francisco.

Steffi He

Good Tofu Banh Mi but I liked the one from Duc Loi on Mission more.

squeasel

Roast pork and pate bahn mi with extra cilantro and jalapenos . Delicious and quick. Cash only .

Achille Kolla

What a steal. The best sandwich you'll get for ~$4. Best value banh mi in the city

Cheapism

For $3.75 you can get the roast pork banh mi with pate . Make sure to leave for lunch early, because there’s always a line out the door. The rest of the menu ranges around $3-$5. Read more

Rico Altman Merino

Roast pork is the best, meatball is a close second. MB also has the strongest flavor, thanks to the ample presence of black pepper .

Jonathan Vu

It's all about the fancy pork . Also, it's best when the bread is fresh so try going early. They also take phone orders if you anticipate a long line .

Keenan Patterson

The roasted pork is to die for. Everything is amazing, you really can't go wrong.

Joshua Ostrowalker

Total soupnazi vibes. Amazing sandwiches . Possibly the bast value food in SF

Allison Yu

The combo is where it's at. No need to pick between awesomely creamy pate and juicy roast pork

Adriana Galue

I've had a gazillion pork sandwiches around the world and Saigon's is one of the best. A must if you don't mind the Tenderloin area!

Tom Carden

Extremely cheap and cheerful Vietnamese sandwich place. Veggie safe: tofu bánh mì is less than $4 :)

Randy Hum

Just ate the pork and the chicken sandwich . Both good but there was something super spicy in the chicken one that burned for a good while. Anyone know what they put?

Yuri Kye

order the bahn mi (i like roasted pork ) with extra cilantro and jalapenos . pick up some korean snacks and stay away from anything that looks too funny to eat.

Mark J.

What a hidden gem ! AFFORDABLE food in SF, that's not only good, but AMAZING!
