Cafe Bunn Mi - Vietnamese restaurant in South San Francisco - 226 Grand Ave, USA

Clean and inviting interior. Friendly staff and the food was excellent. Grilled Pork Bahn Mi sandwiches had great flavor, although the bread was a little tough for my taste everything else was delightful. Spicy fries were really interesting and tasty. The Imperial egg rolls were perfectly fried and had good taste and texture with just enough crispness! I'm looking forward to going back to try the garlic noodles! Update 11/27/24 tried the Garlic Noodles with grilled pork and it was excellent! Pork was a little fattier than I like but the flavor was amazing, and the garlic noodles were spot on.

This was the best vegetarian pho I have ever had. The broth was rich and flavorful. The fried tofu was yummy. The noodles were chewy. Personally, I would have preferred smaller carrot chunks, but everything else about the soup was overwhelmingly positive. I would come back again any day of the week.

Arrived when they opened, service was friendly(they were already taking calls for pick-up) and service was quick. Ordered the Garlic Noodles w/Shaken Beef, the garlic noodles comparable with Teng Longs noodle(maybe even better). The Fish Bahn Mi was amazing, large portions of breaded fish filet, crisp but not over cooked. The Vietnamese Ice coffee may be slightly smaller than some places. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in coffee strength. This is a wonderful place to go for a 1st date or 10th date, with its coffee house atmosphere and food (without the pretentiousness of a Teng Long or at times Ben Tre).

Crispy Duck sandwich is very delicious. But the noodles taste overcooked. Good to try the sandwich!!

Yum! The grilled chicken here is juicy and delicious. Grilled pork is sliced thin and still good but not as good as the chicken.

This place has been on my list of places to go, so I finally decided to give the place a visit! We ordered the Lemongrass Steak ($12), Crispy Duck ($13), Buddha Tofu ($10) Banh Mi, and Thai Iced Tea. I liked that they were very generous with the pickled veggies. Though the sandwiches were tasty, the prices were pricier compared to other specialty sandwich places.

While I don’t eat meat, I can’t speak to the meat options here, but the vegan /vegetarian (if you add aioli) options here are OUTSTANDING!!! 10 thumbs up for both the Smokey Vegetable and the Buddha tofu banh mi sandwiches. The level of thoughtfulness and the amount of flavor I experienced in their vegetarian banh mi’s are unparalleled. Most banh mi places simply fry tofu and drizzle some soy sauce. This place has a whole medley of flavors, creating a complexity I can’t name, but thoroughly enjoyed. I will make this my go to every time I have to fly out of SFO I will pick up sandwiches to go. Their Vietnamese coffee is great too. Sometimes I’m tempted to try other things but I keep going back to the sandwich because it’s just so darn good. The shredded veggies and the delicious flavors inside the crispy fresh roll just makes an astounding combo. Far better than any other Banh Mi place that I’ve tried.

Very unique. Not a lot of people, but their lunch time is very busy. Price is a bit high but taste is pretty good.
