Very good banh mi, crispy outside, airy inside. The owner is very friendly too. Definitely come back.

I come here every week for the pork bahn mi. It is by far the best tasting sandwich deal in town. Always fresh and delicious for only $7!

Stopped by here after getting a haircut a couple stores down. Parking is very minimal. Based on the limited space in the store, they probably do mostly Togos. Service was fast, ordered and payed. Got two combination Bánh mìs ($6 each) Good portion for the price. Baguette was nice and crispy/fluffy, pickled veggies were on point, and meat was good amount too. Would be back for a quick bite if I was in the area.

Got a combination sandwich and a grilled pork sandwich with a vietnamese coffee for $20. They are about $7 each for the sandwiches and well worth it. Their bread is amazing. Crunchy but light and soft in the middle. Even after being in the car for 2 hrs they were so good. Everything down to the mayo was perfect and authentic. I often have to go to San Jose or SF to get similar. Very pleasantly surprised. Worth noting is I went towards their closing time and it was just as fresh as if they just opened. We'll go again for sure.

Solid banh mi spot on San Rafael-I tried and enjoyed the chicken bhan mi which was tasty. Service was super friendly and fast. This is more of a takeout location as the place itself is quite small with limited seating for ~2. Reasonable pricing. Recommend parking in the neighborhood.

Best and cheapest bahn mi in San Rafael Cash only ! Authentic as well Parking could get tricky I advise just parking on the street.

Their banh mi sandwiches are authentic. This my family's favorite spot in Marin. I always order the pork banh mi without jalapeños. It is affordable and tasty. The bread is fresh and one sandwich fills you up. Cash only. There are some tables but we always take it to go. There are some interesting decorations inside. Parking is limited but you can park further up the street or across the street.

This establishment is located on a little strip in a very busy intersection. There are about 6 ish spots that are 20 minute parking for those that want to be sure there is somewhere to stop by. There were 3 tables of 2 inside, though I can see many people just grabbing the sandwich and taking it somewhere else to eat consider its a bit cramped and parking is limited. FYI, CASH ONLY! I stopped by around 1pm on a Tuesday to grab a bahm mi sandwich. Their menu is very small with 5 sandwich choices, a few smoothies, and iced Vietnamese coffee. They also had a stand with chips and a fridge with ice cold sodas. The owner is literally a one man show! I was very impressed as he was doing it all, picking up the phone orders, making the sandwiches and taking the orders at the front register. He was also very sweet, greeted me right when I entered and I could tell he puts his heart and soul into this establishment. Although he was literally doing it all, I waited maybe less than 5 minutes for my Bahn mi sandwiches. I ordered the combination Bahn mi ($7) and the grilled pork Bahn mi ($7). The combination Bahn mi had a good ratio of meat to veggies. I did wish that the veggies were more fermented/pickled though. The veggies had the crunch but just missing the added tones of sourness. The jalapeños weren't spicy though. The meat was pretty standard. The bread as a little bit of miss for me today, as it was dry and flaky. When I bit into the sandwich, the bread just cracked and flew everywhere. :/ I'd give the combination Bahn mi a 3.5/5 due to the bread and the veggies. The grilled pork Bahn mi was good, the pork was flavorful and not dry. I'd give it a 4/5. The service was fast and friendly so with all that in mind 4/5 overall. From a price standpoint to quality of the product, I would definitely give them another try in the future and hope that it was just a one time thing with the bread being dry and flaky. Fingers crossed!

LEGIT. I am always excited to find delicious, cheap and authentic asian food in Marin. This is a true bahn mi place. They have 5 sandwiches to choose from and some drinks, and that's it. It's not your fancy bahn mi place -- not that there's anything wrong with that. :P I've had some yummy fancy bahn mi's. But sometimes, you want the real deal. Cash only. Cheap. The Uncle behind the counter that's the cashier and your sandwich maker. Slightly grunge-y hole-in-the-wall, but who cares -- that's how you know it'll be good. I got the combo sandwich wand a Vietnamese iced coffee. The coffee was huge and delicious. Perfect sweetness level. The combo sandwich was exactly what you want. Fluffy crumbly bread with all the Vietnamese hams and pate you want and expect, and of course topped with pickled carrot daikon, cliantro etc. The jalapaneos are seeded, so it's not too spicy. There's nothing like eating a bahn mi in your car sippin' an iced coffee on a moderate July day. Crumbs getting all over my shirt, but I don't care. There are two tables inside, but does not appear to be very comfortable. I feel like bahn mi's are meant to be eaten in your car, even if it gets all over the place. Anyhow, will definitely be back, especially on my way to Asian Market (the only Asian market in Marin)... it's like two blocks away. So how can I not stop by?? These authentic asian food places do exist! Just gotta seek em out.

Excellent grilled pork bahn mi. I had tried the same sandwich a year ago and the bread was flaky and dry. But the bread today was perfect: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. The grilled pork is savory and smoky and just a tad too garlicky. The veggies are thick cut and pickled just right. Sliced jalapeños add bite and you might want to add a little extra. The ratio of ingredients is perfect, though. Some places skimp on veggies but this one doesn't. At $6.50 for a bahn mi, it's a bargain. The owner is friendly and food comes out fast (about 5 minutes). Go ahead and add a Vietnamese coffee. Cold, strong, and sweet. Yum!
