Absolutely delicious chicken banh mi. The chicken had plenty of flavor. I've eaten the banh mi sandwich at numerous Vietnamese restaurants all over socal and I even make my own at home, this place makes it VERY well. highly recommended read more

I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. Best lemon chicken bun my girlfriend and I have ever had and the service was phenominal - very friendly and quick. read more

3.5 stars. Nice lady working the register. $10 for a steak Bahn Mi was kinda steep considering it is a small/lightweight sandwich. It's a very very petite sandwich. Flavor was good, but could've used more salt. I'd suggest they pack in more seasoned meat, and definitely pack on more veggies. read more

Thought I'd update since this is quite old! I've loved Bun Me for years. I have been vegetarian for the last 3+ years and still drive down from Santa Clarita for their mushroom bahn mi! So delicious. read more

I love this place. They have the best pho in the valley in my opinion. The broth is so good and flavorful. They package it well so it doesn't spill or leak in the bag. I honestly could eat it several times a week and not get tired of it. I also love the sandwiches. They are big and filling. Perfect amount of meat and veggies. I love that the food is always consistently good. Never a mistake and always prepared perfectly. read more

This is where I lost my Bahn Mi virginity! Since this was my first experience with this Vietnamese sandwich I opted for the "deli" version since I believe it to be the most authentic. What a great sandwich. Lots of great taste and at a great price. Others with me had the pork sandwich and the beef (some kind of beef, I can't recall) sandwich. All were very good. The customer service is fantastic. Nice staff who try hard to make people feel welcomed and comfortable. It is a very small place. I didn't count but I think there were only about a dozen chairs at five, or so, tables. There are a couple of tables with chairs on the sidewalk too. We sat inside and since most other tables were filled we squeezed four chairs around a small table that was really meant for two. Nonetheless we were enjoying ourselves so much that it really didn't matter. Why only four stars, you may ask. Well, it is picking nits... but important nits in my mind. Sandwiches were served but not our drinks. In fact, two of the drinks (fruit slushies) weren't even made by the time our sandwiches were on the table and partly consumed. As i said, it's a nit... but something worth working toward resolving. All-in-all, though, "Yay! I'm a fan." and look forward to trying other dining delights in the future. read more

A very acceptable and cheap lunch option near CSUN. Plus the name is awesome - c'mon, who does not appreciate the clever play on words? It just makes the food taste better and make you feel more sophisticated you are not eating food peddled by a big yellow clown or a little girl with red pigtails. Grilled chicken lemongrass banh mi: not filling like a deep fried calzone, but you still feel like you ate something. The bread is a little more trending towards crispety crunchety than I am used to, but perhaps that is just chalked up to regional differences and/or the big guy (4u) making bread being a bit sluggish and hungover for this batch of bread - who knows. The lemongrass is not overpowering, the chicken is juicy, and for its price point, it is hard to beat. Biggest complaint: the yelp mobile app check-in special deal is useless at lunch, when I ate here ... because it was earlier than 6pm. Fail. read more

Their food is really good. I've had their beef ball pho, vermicelli, spring/summer rolls, and their sandwiches. The meat is always perfectly cooked and tasty. I love how they give you those little chip things with their sandwiches. Service is always really good. The employees are super nice. Parking can be crazy sometimes especially if there's a CSUN fundraiser event at one of the businesses. Once we had to park over on Plummer and walk over. I wish they had a bigger location so I can bring my family here for a yummy meal. They only have seating capacity for maybe 12 people max? There are four little tables inside. read more

If you're looking for authentic, this is not the place. But the food is good enough for me to go again if I'm in the neighborhood, albeit, not at lunch time - it was packed, and there weren't enough seating. The sandwich I got was very good, but I don't care for the charred taste of the chicken. The server told me that you can request it uncharred. Nice. I'll be back to try it. The vermicelli bowl was mediocre - the vermicelli they use leaned more towards soba noodles, when it should've been clear glass noodles. Again, it's not authentic. The spring rolls were refreshing, but the egg rolls were soggy & crispy (yes, that's possible), and very oily. I would rate the food a 3/5, and the service a 5/5. The cashier and servers (who just bring food to your table) were exceptionally friendly. read more

I am very happy. I was expecting a Lee's type flavor texture etc but have been surprised by my sandwich! Tasty tasty! Toasted Asian pork bun sandwich! I went at the sandwich and barely remembered to share a pic of it... sorry! A pic of a nearly finished sandwich is all I have left! Lol! In a moment, that bit will be finished too! read more

I mainly order for pick up and I am never left on hold and they alway have my food ready before the time they tell me. read more

Awesome place for bahn mi for that side of the Valley. I wished the bread was a little longer and a bit crustier since I damn well know I'm paying a little more than some of the bahn mi joints around here. But my banh mi was still good. The service was definitely attentive. Very nice staff, but those peeps WOULD NOT STOP ASKING ME HOW SHIT IS. YEAH, I LIKE IT, CAN'T YOU SEE ME NOM NOM NOM!? I even went with a friend that night and it was CRAZY since they were out of BREAD, the STEW and other stuff. We ended up getting Pho, wings and spring rolls. The pho wasn't anything to write home about. If anything we could have used less noodles and MORE MEAT. The wings could have used more cooking time. A bit grissly in some areas but A for effort. The nice guy tonight gave us a coupon and you know damn well I'll be back so I can write a better update. read more

This is by far one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants! I used to frequent here when I was in college back at Northridge from 2012 to 2014. This place by far as the best banh mi sandwiches and I can't find any other deli special banh mi like it in LA to date. All the rest of their food is fantastic too. I even trekked out there today from LA just to order a sandwich and eggrolls for my once a week outing during the Covid-19 pandemic. read more

Why I'm writing my first review now... because I am too good at procrastinating for studying for my finals. In any case, I tried Bounce Boba Lounge the other day and drove down Reseda for the first time. I saw Bun Me on my way home and bookmarked it on Yelp right away. I've been in the valley since July and have not found any Vietnamese places that looked like they were worth trying. So on my way to study for my last finals I stopped by to try Bun Me. I walked in and was slightly disappointed because I am used to the Vietnamese Sandwich menus with lots of pictures and many different kinds of sandwiches. They only have like 5 different sandwiches..I had a pork Banh Mi from Nom Nom months back, so i wanted to try something a little different. I got the Rib Eye Steak banh mi. I ordered making sure to specify that I don't want the bread toasted, no jalapeños, and to have pate. I saw that they made milk tea but they didn't have flavored milk tea. I asked the girl if it was just plain milk tea, as she explained to me what milk tea was, like I had never had it before...I asked again if it was just plain as in, not flavored..like Taro or strawberry.. you know, like you would get from TapEx. She said that they had Almond Milk tea, which I've never had before, anywhere. So I decided to try it. It was a short wait for my order. On my way to school I looked inside and was disappointed because there was no pate. I specifically asked for pate because it adds so much more flavor to the sandwich. Though I must admit after taking a bite of the sandwich I was not disappointed! It didn't need pate for flavor. The meat was so juicy and full of flavor! Compared to the last banh mi I had while in SoCal from Nom Nom, I have to say this was better. I did not like the Almond milk tea at all, as it left a wierd taste in my mouth. But the sandwich was pretty amazing! If I wasn't moving back to the bay this weekend I'd be a regular here but I'm going back home for good in a few days. So I'm giving it four stars because of the limited menu at least sandwich-wise and the almond milk tea, but otherwise I was Wow-ed! read more

Bun Me! - Vietnamese Near Me - Northridge, California

Came here recently (my 2nd time at the shop) and picked up 2 sandwiches: (1) deli meats - it had deli meats + pate; flavors were ok, i've had some better tasting banh mi from some of the vietnamese sandwiche shops in orange county and this place charges $5.70 which is pretty expensive for banh mi sandwiches! if you want authentic viet sandwiches, you should go down to little saigon in orange county; definitely get your fill there. (2) lemongrass chicken - the flavor was just ok, probably would taste better if it was warm when i ate it. Maybe i should try their pho next time instead of the sandwiches! Since there aren't many places in Northridge that serve banh mi sandwiches, this place may be your best bet in the area. read more

My go to comfort food in northridge! Lemon grass chix bun mi and their veggie pho. Get it while the getting is hot.

So good! Fresh sandwich,pickled vegetables and the bread was o.k. too. I'm used to Lee's hot fresh bread so this bread wasn't quite as good but the other component parts more than made up for the bread! The summer rolls were delicious~fresh and bright. I think the sauce could use a little less Mae Ploy (or whatever they are using to sweeten) and more Nam Pla and lime. Prices are great, service is awesome and it's cleaner than clean! Proximity to CSUN and a navigable parking lot are big bonuses!!! This is a SMALL restaurant! Seats maybe 10...and only if they are good friends;-) read more

Northridge is full of little charms and small businesses and I'm so happy I found another one! As a banh mi lover, I was so happy and pleasantly surprised that my visit here brought me to one of the best banh mis I've had. I got the main special sandwich, which had plenty of fillings and the barbecue pork is full of flavor. I also really liked that they toasted the bread which gave it a nice texture in the outside while still keeping the bread inside soft and chewy. My only complaint would be the pickled vegetables, which could have been in the brine longer. Other than that, I'm so happy I tried this place and I love supporting small businesses, especially during covid. I hope to be back for more! read more

So happy I was introduced to BunMe!! Only regret is not finding while I still ate meat but I'm sure it's amazing. However no disappointments with the vegetarian BunMe sandwich. That tofu has such a good flavor and texture, love it! Sometime I want two because it's that good but I'd be so full I wouldn't be able to move. The pho never disappoints either. I've been getting the shrimp pho with egg noodle and it's bomb. The broth is the freshest out of a lot of places I've tried. read more

Bun Me! - Deli Special Bun - Vietnamese Near Me - Northridge, California

Heard about this place opening and since it is closer than sandwich express I decided to try it. I got the bun me deli special and the grilled lemongrass chicken. Both were pretty good, very tasty, fresh, and filling. The bread wasn't too hard too which is a plus since some places the bread is either too crunchy, chewy, or too hard. They throw in a few of the asian crunchy chips too which is nice. The only down side about this place is that their prices are pretty high for viet sandwiches. It's about $4 for one sandwich which is ridiculous considering I can get one for $2 at sandwich express. They don't really have much options either. Overall, I still would rather go to sandwich express down reseda since its cheaper and their sandwiches are a lot bigger. But I'd go here if I didn't want to make the drive there. read more

Always fresh and delicious one of the most reliable student pick ups! I always stick to the bun me sandwich's, so glad they also have many veggie options. The people here are so down to earth and don't try to gouge you with ridiculous prices! read more

I always like coming here for the bahn mi. I've tried both the pork and lemongrass chicken, and both are delicious. What makes their food different is they make their bread fresh, so it's nice and toasty. My only complaint is sometimes they overbake their bread and the roof of my mouth ends up getting scratched up. I still kept eating though. I've also had the pho and spring rolls. The pho was good, but I thought it was nothing special. It's the typical pho you can find at any other decent Vietnamese place. The spring rolls are yummy and crispy--they're much more memorable than spring rolls I've had at other places. Service is good--friendly and polite. Will be back again when I'm in the area or just simply craving bahn mi. read more

The pho was ok, the broth is not that great but not the worst neither. The boba is not good, I don't know if it's cuz I was there later of the day(7:30) so they have that batch of boba sitting there for long time so they are mushy instead of chewy like how they suppose to be. When I went there, they were sort of busy and this Pregnant lady who I assumed is either the owner or some sort of manager was not that friendly. No smile and don't really talk to you but just hand you stuff without saying anything. When I tried to just help myself with some sauce with my togo(since she seemed in some really shitty mood and not feel like talking), she told me there are already sauce in the bag. I tried to get chop sticks, and she said there are chopsticks in there too. I mean, wouldn't that be great if she told me that when she hand me the stuff? I asked her if that's for my number, she didn't say anything at all but hand it to me. Anyway, I believe there are other pho places out there for sure. read more

Bun Me! - Little store that sits 12 ppl inside and 4 ppl outside across from Acapulco! - Vietnamese Near Me - Northridge, California

I was craving banh mi last week, so I got really excited when my co-worker told me of a place that was within a 5 minute drive of the office. Really? Banh Mi west of SGV?! Score! Or at least I thought so. This place delivers a decent sandwich at best - I've been spoiled by Banh Mi My Tho. The meat itself was tasty, but everything else was pretty bland and the bread didn't have the crustiness of the usual banh mi joints. Their prices are also higher than usual - their cheapest sandwich is $3.95 and their most expensive, grilled ribeye steak, is $5.95. Again, I've been spoiled by $2.50 sandwiches of crazy deliciousness. Another downer - they have milk tea (black), but no milk green tea. Boooo. The people working there are super friendly though. The manager (I think..) even came out to give me my to-go order. All in all, Bun Me is an okay place if you need a banh mi fix and can't drive out to where the real action is. Yeah...I was craving banh mi last week. My craving still isn't satisfied. read more

Bun Me! - Vietnamese Near Me - Northridge, California

Bun Me is a small little vietnamese eatery on Reseda Blvd. in Northridge just blocks from the CSUN campus. The food here is delicous as it is affordable, the service is kind and attentive and the tiny woman who runs this small place is a sweetheart. The restaurant only has 4 indoor tables with and added 3 outside and no bathroom but who cares when the flavors are this perfect and the whole dining experience is so pleasing. We loved nearly everything we ordered here on Sunday for lunch and believe me we ordered what seemed like half of the menu. Appetizers: Summer Rolls w/ Shrimp & side of Peanut Sauce - Refreshing, crisp and bright flavors with a sweet peanut sauce to balance it out. The Thai Basil was very omnipresent but the overall result was balanced. Spring Rolls w/ Fish Sauce - Ground Pork Spring rolls deep fried to perfection and served with a great and funky sweet & slightly sour and pungent fish sauce. What's not to love. Entrees: # 1 Deli Special Pork Banh Mi w/ Shrimp Chips - Wow!! I loved this combination of Pork perfection. Pork pate, Pork Roll & Char Siu Pork along with pickeled carrots and daikon, cucumber, cilantro, and fresh mayo. This was a knockout combo of dazzling flavors. Perfect! Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi - Though not as bold as the #1 Deli Special it was almost as pleasing. Just a little too subtle for me but the chicken itself was moist and perfectly cooked. Overall great. Rice Plate w/ Grilled Chicken, Salad & Spring Rolls - My wifes order and though I only tried her grilled chicken she raved about the fresh salad with sesame dressing, the perfectly cooked chicken and rice and the addictive spring rolls which triggered us to order 2 more orders of Spring Rolls to go which my wife, daughter and I devoured shortly thereafter. Bun Cha Bowl w/ Grilled Pork - Served with your choice of protein (grilled pork), vermicelli noodles, pickled carrots and daikon, cucumbers, lettuce, bean sprouts, Thai basil and fish sauce. The serving size was generous and when I added a spicy chili & garlic sauce to the mix this bowl was unbelievably fresh, complex, satisfying and simply delicious. This will be my new late night comfort food craving from now on. Drinks: Milk Tea w/ Boba Pearls - My 1st Boba experience and I really enjoyed the fun textural oddity and the pleasing flavors. Service: Excellent! Even though you order at the counter, the owner quickly delivered our food, provided free cups of ice water of which she refilled more than once and constantly checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying our food and if we required anything else. Please tip generously at the counter as she more than deserves it. Overall: Bun Me is the perfect combination of wonderful food and exotic flavors, great value and extremely kind, courteous and welcoming, casual dining experience all rolled into one. Perfection. read more
