Banh Mi Love is a women-owned business located inside a medical building near the Stonestown Galleria directly across the street from City Sports. The place isn't huge so no place to sit so you would most likely order to go. The Banh Mi's are good and prices are very reasonable. I've tried most of the Banh Mi here, and my favorite continues to be the combo pork with pate, fancy pork, ham, and mayo. The bread has a nice crunch and is warm/toasted. Lots of veggies including pickled carrots and cucumbers accompanied in the sandwich. Another recommendation is the BBHD - house special beef brisket with side of beef soup to dip your sandwich in, similiar to a french dip sandwich. The beef is tender and moist, and the soup has lots of lemongrass and slightly spicy. While the soup is good for dipping, I found it a little too salty to just drink. Finally, you want to try their Vietnamese coffee which is quite strong. Not the best but pretty solid.
I've had Banh Mi Love on my list for a while. I'm really surprised I didn't make it sooner since it's in my neighborhood, but at least I finally made it. I pre-ordered the bun bo hue banh mi and dip for pickup before the shop was open for the day. Later, I drove to get my order, and it was already prepared and packaged. Once I got back to my place, I unpacked the sandwich for a late breakfast/early lunch. The first thing I noticed was the mayo oozing out. In the order instructions sections, I had requested "light mayo, please". Apparently, what constitutes light mayo is subjective. I should've just omitted it entirely. Upon biting into the sandwich, I was struck by how bland the brisket was, more like American pot roast than Vietnamese seasoned beef. It relies entirely on the consommé for flavor, which was a bit disappointing, as I would've liked more flavor in the meat itself. The brisket was sliced into larger than bite-sized strips, so some pieces slid out of the sandwich into a single bite, but then other bites had no meat. Also underwhelming was how mid quality the brisket was. One large chunk was pure fat and sinew - inedible. I'm not really sure what the hype is. The BBHD, their specialty, is just average - rare but not unique. I've had BBHD at another place before, and it hit the spot with flavor throughout. My friend raved about this place for their pandan panda cotta, so perhaps I'll try that sometime but skip the banh mi.
Hmm... having been raised on Saigon Sandwiches, it's hard to justify paying for a BBQ Pork with Pate at $11.75 and a Combo Pork at $11. My total came out to $26.71 for two banh mi's. Imagine that. The banh mi's were good and the bread was toasted nicely, but their banh mi's are noticeably on the smaller side and for some reason, it wasn't as good as my first visit. Nevertheless, great place to fill a craving if you're hungry and nearby. Friendly service and they have fun chips/drinks as well as free lollipops at the counter. 3.8 stars
Seriously look for the sign or else you can miss this place across from the Stonestown gym. First floor, no frills, no tables. They take credit cards and cash. I got the pork sandwich with pate and the bread was amazing. I could literally hear and taste the crunch. Wish the veggies were pickled and I would have liked more veggies and pate, but the sandwich was good. Had the Vietnamese coffee here which I didn't like. Wouldn't order it again. It was very bitter. Too bitter for my tastes. Friendly service, will be back.
After seeing my DDS in the same building, I went straight downstairs and ordered my fav combo pork and 2 lemongrass chicken for family. The pork was delicious with a mix of pork meat and pate'. Can't wait to be back again for another.
Wanted something quick near Stonestown without eating at the food court and my friend suggested Banh Mi Love. I ordered the BBH dip and it was really good. Bread was toasted perfectly and it was loaded with meat. The dip was a littttle sweeter than BBH broth usually is, but it did go well with the sandwich. I will definitely be back!
Been meaning to try this Banhmi place for a while but it sat in my Yelp bookmarked places (more than 2K at last count). Finally we visited together right before Christmas and it was a nice experience. A little takeout place with friendly service. Hubby was jamming to their music while ordering. Banh mi was good with tasty fillings and crunchy bread. I like their lychee hibiscus tea. Located near Stonestown Mall in an office building on Buckingham Way and 20th Ave.
This is a tiny spot in the medical building across from Stonestown Mall. It's only for take out as there are no tables or chairs to eat in-house. Because we got there around 1pm and dinner was going to be at 5:30-6, we thought to split a sandwich. I ordered a lemongrass chicken sandwich and a lychee hibiscus tea. After about a 5-10 minute wait, I got my order and left. My bf and I started eating about 1/2 way down the block and noticed we got a combo sandwich! It had fancy pork, pate, head cheese and ham with onions, cucumbers, cilantro and carrots. I was the only person in the shop when ordering, then a bunch of people were lined up after me. How did I get the wrong sandwich? And it was a tiny sandwich too. The sandwich was good and bread was crispy. But by the time we hit Whole Foods, it was gone. I guess you can't expect much for $9-10 anymore. The lychee hibiscus tea was nice and not too sweet, though the real bits of lychee get stuck in the straw. Solid 3.5 stars for service, quality and quantity.
We were down bad for some banh mi, and obviously did not want to commute alllll the way to the Tenderloin, so decided to take an L and come here for their combo sandwiches. At $10, we found the price point vs. the quality/portion misaligned-the sandwich is somewhat small and the bread isn't what you aspire for in banh mi. I would recommend stopping by only if you're truly craving banh mi and don't want to venture too far out in the city!
Decent Banh Mi sandwiches if you are in the area. They have a unique selection of sandwiches which I feel like isn't your norm. I ordered the Lemongrass chicken with extra pate and jalapeño, and it was good. My husband got the Combo Pork (Paté, Fancy Pork, Headcheese, Ham, Mayo), which he enjoyed too. Both sandwiches were great, but we also agreed that it didn't seem worth it to go out of your way to go there. Perhaps if you were already at Stonestown, and picked it up, that it'd be perfect. I ordered the sandwiches online, and although they estimated a 15 min wait time, they were done within 7 mins of ordering! Nice. I feel a little bad for their location. It's in this medical office building, not having the best parking or convenience for easy pick up. Honestly the best to have your significant other drive and drop you off to pick up. Anyway, fun sandwich selection and I wouldn't mind returning!
Delicious food and quick service! The store is located inside of a larger building so make sure to look for signage on how to get there. I tried the Lemongrass Chicken sandwich, BBHD sandwich, and the Thai Iced Tea. The BBHD sandwich comes with a sauce to dip the sandwich in which was so good. The Thai Iced Tea was also delicious.
Banh Mi Love feels like a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I feel like not everyone knows about Banh Mi Love, as it's tucked away in the lobby of the Stonestown Medical Office building. The food here is delicious! Their menu focuses almost exclusively on banh mi, with the exception of some salad, drink, and dessert options. For $10, I ordered the fancy pork and paté banh mi (no mayo, no jalapenos). FYI the server at the counter always asks for the option to add jalapenos. Otherwise, all sandwiches come standard with cilantro, onion, cucumbers, and cilantro. Though I wish my sandwich had a little more meat, the flavors of the paté and pickled veg + freshly-toasted bread were *chef's kiss.* There was just enough paté spread in the sandwich that made this taste so delicious. For San Francisco prices, I felt that this was reasonably affordable for a quick and easy lunch. I highly recommend Banh Mi Love, and I can't wait to try their other sandwiches on the menu!

Banh Mi Love is one of my go-to banh mi places. The bread is always fresh, crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. There's a substantial amount of fillings, both protein and veggies; the ratio of fillings to bread is perfect. Fancy pork and pâté is my usual order. I've tried the BBH (bun bo hue) with consommé dip, which is quite unique. However, the flavor was just ok and it was too messy to eat. The store is embedded within the medical building, but not too challenging to find since there are signs. They've ran out of bread before end of the day, so if you're coming closer to closing, it's best to give them a call and confirm before making the trip. read more
Enjoyed the bbhd with a small side of bbh soup as recommended by the friendly staff. The protein is brisket. I asked for jalapeños. The meat didn't pack a lot of flavor but maybe this was intentional. Taking a bite and drinking the soup was a great match. Wish there was more soup though. An immediate left located inside the medical center across from the gym and the pet store. Pick up and go only. read more

Hubs craving banh mi and has been wanting to check this place out. We ordered the combination porki, garlicky chicken, and BBHD. Didn't get to take a picture or try the BBHD since kiddo devoured it. Hubs liked that the bread was crispy and that there was a good amount of meat and veggies. The garlicky chicken was flavorful. The combination pork was also good. I think the pate in this one was more flavorful than other pates I've had. read more

I've ordered several times since my review two years ago. In that time I've ordered online on the Grubhub platform via Yelp or directly on their website which platform is Square. Each time my order has been ready for pickup. The bahn mi sandwiches are set at a good price point. Our orders: * hubby always gets the fancy pork & pate. * I've been getting the lemongrass chicken. If you place your order online, there's a checkout box for jalapeno or no jalapeño. That's great as hubby wants and I don't. The sandwiches are always warm and the sandwich roll toasty. Carrots are thinly shredded and marinated. Bahn Mi is located street level inside the Stonestown medical building. Plenty of parking at the adjacent Stonestown shopping mall. read more

The value (quality to price) is there. I tried the garlic chicken banh mi. It needs more garlic. I'm going for the combo pork next. read more
I stopped by right at opening after my dentist appointment upstairs. I frequently passed this place and have finally jumped the gun and decided to grab a sandwich for my sister and I. We ordered the combo pork ($9.25) and garlicky chicken ($8.50). There was a customer before me that ordered 4 sandwiches so it took maybe 10 minutes to make. The sandwiches were a decent size for the price of a Vietnamese sandwich. It doesn't beat the inner sunset for the prices but I would say it's still cheaper than other places in that immediate area. The combo was filled with the paté, fancy pork, headcheese, ham with mayo. There was a TON of paté. So if you are a fan of that, then this sandwich is definitely for you. The paté was definitely the winner of this sandwich and I can see why they have the Paté and fancy pork on its own. The fresh veggie ingredients made this sandwich a 5/5 in my book. I had to transport it home which was about 20 minutes away and the bread was also still crunchy on the outside. All sandwiches includes pickled carrots and onion, cucumbers cilantro and house soy, jalapeño upon request which I definitely took advantage of there. The pickled veggies were delicious and you can tell that it was not just sitting there for days because there was a crunch to them. The Garlicky chicken consisted of garlic soy marinated chicken with the garlic aioli and veggies as well. The Garlicky chicken was good, but I felt like the sauce made the sandwich way messier than I would have liked and because I traveled 20 minutes home, it was super soggy already. I tasted the garlic but felt like if its covered with so much garlic marinade and aioli that it really needed more of a kick. Overall, fast service, yummy sandwiches and for those that are wondering there is plenty of parking for ease of pickup/ordering. Do know though that there isn't much seating in the storefront to eat there so it's more so on the go. read more

We've been coming to Banh Mi Love since we first heard about them a few years back. I'm shocked that I didn't write this review sooner. Tucker away in the medical office building right beside Stonestown is this gem of a business. You'll find a solid selection of banh mi offerings made with so much love. Our family favorites are the: Combo pork BBHD Garlicky Chicken They never disappoint with their generous portions, the crunchy baguette exterior and warm fluffy interior. My mom loves their pate and the way the combo pork comes together. She smiles from ear to ear whenever I stop by with her combo banh mi. My hubby's go to is the BBHD with a fried egg. The meaty sandwich is so tender and the flavors blend so well together. You can't forget the BBHD dip which also has a hint of lemon grass. My favorite is their garlicky chicken, which has such an interesting way of being tender, juicy, and creamy all in one. Its garlic aroma really comes through and you'll enjoy it to the very last bite. The service is professional, efficient, and friendly. You're always greeted warmly and the team works quickly with precision to make these delicious sandwiches. If you haven't checked out Banh Mi Love, don't miss out on the love and get yourself one OR two today! read more
This hidden banh mi spot is such a great edition to stonestown. It's hidden inside the medical building on the first floor. Always come here during my lunch! Their banh mis are roughly $10 and so worth it. They're packed full to the point where you need to loosen your jaw to get a bite as you can see from the photo - that meat/topping to bread ratio! You know it's going to be a good banh mi when you take a bite but the roof of your mouth gets cut lol. Bread is super crunchy on the outside but inside is light and soft. Service here is pretty quick as well since it's kind of hidden and haven't seen them busy busy before. They also sell a variety of Asian snacks on the side as well. read more
The reviews looked really good and my friends wanted to try, so I decided to come see how it was. Unfortunately it was not it, I'm really hoping it was just an off day and that I can come again and really be wowed. BBHD - 2.5/5, beef brisket, carrots, onions, cucumbers, mayo and a dip. The beef was super dry and was in giant chunks rather than cut up. There wasn't much flavor. When dipped, the bahn mi just became wet and oily. The dip lacked flavor and was super oily. The other two sandwiches I believe were garlic and pork. Those were also lacking flavor and dry. read more

Pleasant surprises with this hole in the wall. The customer service was immaculate. Pleasant, endearing, helpful, respectful. The options were pretty decent and the size of the beauty for $10 is well worth in the Bay Area. Beautiful banh mi and they ain't skimpin on the toppings. Practically had patte drippin down my fingers. Tasty, inexpensive, and good quality. Big Mitch will be back read more
Price remains but the meat portion definitely has decreased (see pictures). The taste is little bit different for the combo because they put less meat and more pickled carrots. The garlic chicken was okay, but it would taste better if there was a stronger garlic flavor. :( read more

Ordered on the phone around 1:45pm knowing they closed at 2pm and they were happy to take my order as long as I could pick up before 2. The place is very small and is inside a medical building, tucked away in the corner on the ground floor. Aside from sandwiches, they also have some drinks, appetizers, and a section of Asian snacks! I ordered: -Combination pork banh mi ($8.75): pretty solid, but pâté had a stronger flavor than I was used to. Meat was a little skimpy on this one. -BBH dip ($10): came with super yummy broth that you dip the sandwich into. Big chunks of meat in this sandwich. -Viet Coffee ($4.75): strong coffee flavor and not too sweet! Both sandwiches came with cucumber, cilantro (I had some sprigs that weren't very fresh, but it was end of day), mayonnaise, and pickled veggies. They also asked if I wanted jalapeno. The bread was crispy, but both sandwiches were on the small side. Overall, great service and decent banh mi. read more
Very solid Banh Mi sandwich shop. Easy parking for quick pick up, sandwich was well toasted with generous servings of pickled carrots, cilantro, pate, meat and mayo. Folks at the store is friendly. Ambiance is small and clean. Prices are more reasonable compared to Dinosaur (approx $10 here vs $12.50 there). read more
We came to this place to get banh mi and we weren't disappointed. We had combo pork ($9.25) and the BBHD ($11.00). The combo pork had a lot of meat and veggies with crunchy bread. The BBHD had lemongrass beef brisket and veggies came with a dipping sauce. It may not be easy to spot in the beginning but it is inside the plaza next to Stonestown mall across from Petco. This is a good place to get banh mi and not too hard to find parking. read more
How could I have never heard of this place until now! It's really hard for me to find a banh mi dac biet I actually like because I am so picky lol. 10/10 friendly ladies and their service; 10/10 would come again :) side cheer for the garlicky chicken too, my husband loves it :) I can't wait to order catering! read more
