Friendly staff with thick, fresh sandwiches! I was able to place an order over the phone, which was available for pickup within 5 minutes; super short wait time. The bread is delicious! Thick, with a golden crust on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The ratio of protein : veggies : bread was very well balanced! The veggies also tasted very fresh. I got the 5-spice chicken, which was not as spicy as the pork. It was sweet and savory! I also got an iced coffee, which was not too sweet after letting the ice melt down a bit. Overall, I would definitely return! read more

Food: 5/5 I love how fresh the make the banh mi. It's very tasty and I always go here for the beef banh mi. We also love the shrimp rolls here. Price: 5/5 It is a little bit pricey for banh comparing to other stores but I think it is worth the few $ more extra as they give a lot of vegetables too. Service: 5/5 Every time I go here they are very welcoming and friendly. They always accommodate everyone right away. They are also fast! read more

I love this place. They have a simple menu. We krfere tofu and shrimp rolls and a soup. I love the soup. I had chicken broth based tofu soup. I loved it. It really warmed me. The rolls are tasty as well. Love the sauce. People here are all Vietnamese grandmas. They are very efficient and lovely. I like business run by people in the community. The place is also cute. I would come back to try more things. read more

Pickup/order stand set up at the door. Enjoy! read more

I can understand the high rating for the taste of their food, but it's definitely not worth the price. Tried their duck banh mi and there was barely anything inside. I even paid extra for more paté and got nothing. Take a look at the pic and you'll see what I mean. I'd rather pay half the price and get a really good banh mi from Saigon Sandwich. read more

DragonEats Ratings: 4.2/5 Food: 4.5/5 - My boyfriend and I was passing through Panhandle Park and randomly found this highly-rated Banh Mi place on Yelp that's only a 5 minutes walk away from us. We decided to grab a quick lunch there, and we thought it was pretty solid, but definitely not the best we had before. See the description below of the Banh Mi we got. - 5 Spices Chicken Banh Mi [GET]: My boyfriend and I got the same protein, 5 Spices Chicken. The chicken was flavorful and tasty, but was a bit dry. My boyfriend wished it was more moist and juicier. The Banh Mi is packed with toppings such as pickled veggies, cilantro, carrots, and jalapeno, but I wished there was more jalapeno though. I love the pickled veggies, because it added a slight acidity to the sandwich, and I can tell they are freshly made too. The overall pate was a bit sweet, but compliments well with the savories from the chicken. The baguette was warm, crispy and crunchy on the outer Golden layer, yet still soft and pillow-y inside. I approve of the bread. Ambiance: 4/5 - This Banh Mi place is located in Haight where there are tons of other restaurants and shops nearby, definitely a busy street for locals and visitors. DragonEats is a small Viet café with limited seating area; only stools for customers to eat right on the spot. Interior design is minimalist, bright, and clean. The kitchen is visible too. This is a perfect spot for to-go and a causal on-the-go lunch. Price: 4/5 - My boyfriend and I both got the 5 Spices Chicken Banh Mi for $8.50 each, and he got a Thai tea for himself as well. The total came up to be almost $23 after tax. He treated me to lunch again, yes I am spoiled by him! We had Banh Mi in SF at a lower price points, but close enough, so I'd say it's worth it for the most part. Service: 4.25/5 - Fast and friendly service. We ordered two Banh Mi, and they came out together within 5 minutes after we placed the order. I requested no mayo in my Banh Mi, and the cashier was considerate enough and asked if I wanted the chicken pate too. The kitchen staffs were efficient, and can see that they are well-trained and able to keep their kitchen clean and nice. BLUF: Solid and fresh Vietnamese Banh Mi place in Haight with welcoming staffs. The sandwich was a good size, and gets the job done. I would recommend trying the Pork instead, since the 5 Spices Chicken we got was on the dryer side. Overall, I will return again when I am in the area. I enjoyed my Banh Mi sandwich! read more

Made it 15 mins before they closed and ordered two 5 spice chicken banh mi to go. Was disappointed that the bread was hard and flavors were very bland. As another reviewer mentioned, the food is made by Vietnamese but doesn't taste like it. The food is more on the healthy side (no oil, fat, bold flavors and for a Viet place they dont have pho!). Their menu consist of Banh Mi, Bowls, Rolls, and Salads. If you are looking for a healthy dose of Viet food this place can be for you. read more

DragonEats - Five-spice chicken Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

One of the tastiest (but perhaps smallest) banh mi I've had in a long time. I got the roasted pork, and my friend got the 5-spice chicken. Both were good and pretty moist! The proteins were seasoned really well. The sandwiches were done pretty quickly, and we snagged some seating relatively easy (though I find it weird when there's not really space for your legs and to be near the counter. Space was kept pretty clean despite a lot of fast eaters and quick turnover. I'd come back here again. Their bowls look very enticing, as well. read more

tasty little banh mi spot on Haight. I got the garlic butter chicken breast banh mi and it was fresh and delicious. Price is good ranging $10-12 for the sandwiches. Looking forward to trying the pork meatball one next! read more

Super friendly staff, delicious sandwiches and a really clean place! We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon right before closing and I'm so glad we did. The bread is crunchy on the outside but super fluffy once you bite into it. They put a TON of veggies and are also quite generous with the protein. I got the pork and it was jam packed with flavor. Kinda pricey compared to your average banh mi prices, but for the cleanliness and service I would totally recommend!! read more

The pace at which I've seen the prices get scrubbed out and rewritten at higher prices on those chalkboards has me now accepting I won't be stepping back inside again. I walked in, saw $11 and $12, and acknowledged that I will now just have to travel for better, more reasonably priced banh mis in the future. A shame. read more

Got one of the vermicelli bowls here recently and it was ok but the portion feels smaller than both their sandwiches and compared to a bowl of bun at most viet places so I'm not sure if it's what you should get here. Sticking with the sandwiches is probably both the flavor and value bet. read more

Situation - I've only had the 5 Spice Chicken Banh Mi for lunch a few times Pros - Great tasting sandwich - They take credit cards - For me, the size of the sandwich was pretty decent - Decent price for a Banh Mi, especially considering they're in the Upper Haight Cons - The dining area isn't always the cleanest read more

It's pushing 2 p.m. and I haven't eaten anything all day. It's not my ideal (cause I love food) but somehow grabbing a bite to eat just escapes me. I have my car and will roll through Haight, so hop on yelp to find something quick (grab and go). Vietnamese sandwiches from DragonEats popped up and I'm set. I rolled into the spot not knowing exactly what to see. First thought - the décor is boujee as hell. Hipsters UNITE, your wood décor lives! Its super clean - and for a spot in Haight that means its super new. I saw all white people, but then the staff were all Asians, so I move to order a sandwich. Looking at the menu, I went with five spice chicken and threw in a coffee for giggles. The coffee was pre-made and was extremely sweet. Like cloyingly so. It had caffeine in it, which was what I was looking for. But pretty sure my risk of diabetes shot up. The sandwich was made in record time. Awesome. I book it outta there. There's a really good moment of anticipation when unwrapping your sandwich. The paper makes it like a present that you just got for yourself. A good warm sandwich usually has a waft of smells when you first peel back the wrap and see the sandwich glory. I...like sandwiches. First thought: Sandwich looks kinda tiny given I just paid $7.50 for this thing. Second thought: They're new and in the Haight so maybe the extra costs is to cover the crazy rent. Whatever. Sandwich looked good. Had all the pieces to it. Took a bite. Was meh. The pickled carrots weren't seasoned well enough. They included pate, which is a nice texture difference. But what killed it for me: The chicken was over cooked. Soooo dry. And I could tell even though it was very finely chopped. How very disappointing. read more

DragonEats - 5 spice chicken Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

The roast pork Bahn Mi was $10 which I consider expensive based on other bahn Mi locations I've eaten at. The pork was good but nothing special. The vegetables and pate were better than everything else. The thing that I didn't enjoy was the bread. It was thing and just hard. I'm giving DragonEats a 3/5 because there was nothing that stood out to me and I don't think I'd come back especially with the price. read more

DragonEats - tofu banh - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Was craving Banh mis on a Sunday, which is surprisingly really hard to get. DragonEats was one of the only spots open so we made our way over. Small menu but had all the essentials - but notably missing the "special" combo that most traditional places have. They usually come with pork, sausage, pate. Here, each sandwich had one kind of meat. We went with the five-spice chicken and the pork. The sandwiches were a good size and definitely did the job for two hungry boys. The chicken was on the dry side so I'd go with just the pork next time. One complaint - I was told that all the sandwiches came with pate along with the main meat, but couldn't really taste or see it in either. But fast and friendly service, along with good prices, make this a good option if you're in the area! read more

DragonEats - Five-spice chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

the menu is mostly choosing between rice bowl, banh mi, or rolls. we got one of each, all with chicken and they were all about $9. the rice bowl was mostly veggies and came with a fish soy sauce. banh mi was pretty big and we took leftover of it. the chicken roll has avocado in it whereas the others didnt, and came with a peanut sauce. the sauce wasn't amazing but the roll was so good with some sriracha! read more

It took all of 3 minutes for my food to be ready after I ordered it, and unfortunately it tasted that way too.

I've been to DragonEats twice now and it's consistently delicious! I ordered the Garlic Butter Chicken Bahn Mi both times and it's super yummy. I always finish the whole thing in one sitting. They also have Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee which is pretty good. They are super quick with the food! It seems like they have their kitchen process streamlined. In addition the staff is very friendly!! Love this spot. read more

This place was organized and ready for lunch rush with glasses half full in the fridge and ready to pour in ice and cream to make Vietnamese coffee and other drinks. They had salads, rice bowls, spring rolls and sandwiches in a limited array of meats: chicken, shrimp or tofu. I chose not to get the sandwiches because they had jalapeños and I like my food pretty bland. We shared a shrimp bowl, chicken salad and spring rolls. All entrees a delight! Food came out super fast and didn't break the bank! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Delicious, consistent, affordable and convenient. I always get their tofu bahn mi and their tofu rolls. Their tofu bahn mi is one of the best I've ever had- and the bread is so good! Can't have a bahn mi without good bread. My partner and I get lunch here maybe once a week. Honestly, I could eat here more frequently. Another nice thing- one time I accidentally ordered pickup online from another location and had already paid. I explained my situation to the nice woman working the register, and she gave me my order without having me pay more even though it was my mistake! Love this place! read more

Their papaya salad is the freshest ever. I come here all the time. It's casual and quick. Sometimes I even grab a banh mi for work. Also their soup is reasonably priced and healthy. One of my go-to quick health take out meals is the papaya salad and soup combo. read more
