    BBQ Pork Bahn Mi
    Jacob M.

    Went on a weekend trip with my girlfriend to eat our way through San Francisco, and wanted to grab something nearby to bring into Golden Gate Park to watch the bison and wander around. We found Mr. Banh Mi in the nearby Outer Richmond neighborhood, and it looked legit from what we saw. It was our first time in the Outer Richmond, and it turned out to be a really charming area with lots of good food and cool little shops. Mr. Banh Mi is a small hole-in-the-wall with a pickup window and a tiny interior counter and kitchen. I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh Mi since the young man up front kindly recommended it, and my girlfriend ordered the Tofu Banh Mi. These sandwiches were super well-priced and came out fast, hot, and good-sized. They smelled amazing and had our mouths watering immediately. We ate half at the beginning of our walk and saved the other half for later in the day at Golden Gate Park. The BBQ pork had a great sauce on it and plenty of jalapeños and pickled veggies, mostly carrots, and not quite enough daikon for me personally, but it was absolutely loaded with meat and vegetables. It was delicious when fresh, but somehow even better a few hours later when I finished the second half. The sauce had soaked into the bread more, and the flavors really came together. I did miss the usual huge helping of buttery Vietnamese mayo, and there was no pâté, which was a slight disappointment for me. It did feel a little dry at first since the juicy marinated BBQ pork had to provide most of the moisture. That said, the bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and everything tasted super fresh. Overall, this was the perfect on-the-go meal, and I would definitely come back next time I'm heading to Golden Gate Park.

    It was the Friday after Thanksgiving and almost all of the stores on Balboa St. were pretty much closed or sold out of food. I spotted this place and I'm so grateful I took a chance on it. I cannot recommend the BBQ Pork Banh Mi enough! I got extra cucumbers and sauce but honestly, totally fine without the extras. It's tucked off behind a bus stop and a tree so it's easy to miss unless you're looking for it. Highly recommend!!

    8. Special Combination $10.95

    The order: $10.95 BBQ pork sandwich $11.95 BBQ pork spring roll $9.95 panko fried shrimp $10.95 Special Combination sandwich Service was friendly but sadly this is a strictly takeout only place -- not even a stool to sit on outside. Their prices are fair. I think there's way too much carrots stuffed into the sandwiches. I liked the special combination, which is the sandwich I use to measure the authenticity of a banh mi place. I would not get the $10 panko shrimp again because they clearly tasted like frozen premade shrimp that they air fried. The bbq pork spring roll was also pretty mid for $12. If you're craving a bang mi and you don't wanna leave the neighborhood, I would recommend the combo. I almost got the fried chicken banh mi but they told me it's just chicken tenders -- WHAT?!

    Service: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Value for $$: 5/5 Overall: 4/5 I've ordered many sandwiches from this place and it doesn't disappoint. I just hope they were open 7 days a week. It's a family owned restaurant, reasonably priced, and the quality is decent. My favorite is the BBQ pork banh mi. I have also tried the pork belly sandwich and beef BBQ, they are not as good as the bbq pork. The beef is a bit chewy and the pork belly is just way too fatty.

    Fast to order and receive food. The bread was not as crispy as some other places but the overall taste was good.

    Swung by while in the area. Didn't really have any expectations going into it, but was definitely impressed! I got the banh mi dac biet and it was around $11. You order at the door, there's no seating. Food was ready in about 5-10 minutes. Taste wise it was good -- absolutely loaded with meat! The bread was crispy but still soft enough that it didn't cut the inside of your mouth. I do think there could have been more pickled carrots and daikon though. Overall a solid spot and I would come again if I was in the area, not sure if I would make the trek all the way out here otherwise for it.

    14. Pork Belly Sandwich (Banh mi)
    Matthew W.

    Not much to say about Mr Banh mi, but it's one of my favorite Banh mi places in the Bay. They're decently sized and affordable (though their prices have gone up from when I was a kid, due to inflation). Sadly, Mr Banh Mi is to-go orders only, since they've closed the sit-down area of the restaurant and it's now just a storefront. Try the combo pork with extra pate. The pork belly is also very good. They pack the sandwiches with meat, so you'll get your money's worth here.

    I've been going to this place for years and their quality has not gone down in my opinion. They're neatly tucked away and easy to miss if not for their large sign. It's not a sit down restaurant, just a door with a table to order from as well as a takeout window. They're also one of the few affordable banh mi shops in the Richmond. My usual order is either combination or tofu banh mi. Ingredients are fresh and they're stuffed to the max. The staff is polite and are quick even during busier times. I can't go a few weeks without a banh mi fix so I'm glad this is so close by.

    After finishing up an errand in the neighborhood, I found myself trying to find a place that happened to still be open. A lot of the places in the area that I wanted to get food from were closed because it was a Monday or because it was after 3pm already. I saw the good reviews for Mr Banh Mi and was nervously excited to try this place since I love banh mis and the reviews here while mostly positive, some have mentioned that there are off days for the meats and sandwiches. I was especially nervous since it was the day before Christmas Eve and later in the day near closing time. I bit the bullet, called my order in and made my ways over. I pulled up and noticed a bunch of college kids at the bus stop eating their sandwiches and relief started washing over me. It has to be pretty good if there are still people grabbing a bite here this late in the day. The place has no seating and it's a grab and go spot, which we love since 90% of my dining is to go and I needed to charge my car on the way home. Tip selection reflected the nature of the business and to my surprise were 5/10/15% options. I'm a default middle button tipper or 18% tipper and even then I roll my eyes sometimes when the tip options head into the 30% range, especially if it's takeout. I got myself a bbq chicken banh mi and really wanted to get spring rolls but knew it would be too much food with a dinner plan approaching. The banh mi was perfect. The bbq chicken was sauced nicely and the meat was not too dry and not too wet, with the sauce, it almost had a bbq bao like consistency, not as traditional as your normal banh mis but definitely not unconventional. The sandwich was packed with vegetables. I normally get extra veggies at other places but another sigh of relief when I opened it up and saw it completely stuffed. The sandwich was so good, and I almost wished I had gotten the pork because I know that would have been phenomenal as well. The bread was still fairly fresh despite it being the end of day and had a nice crunch with the tear. The pictures don't really do it justice. It's too hard to show how big the portion is but at $10, it's well worth the price, especially if you're comparing it to the $6 banh mi you'd get at Saigon. They're way different sandwiches too. To wrap this up, I definitely will be back with a bigger appetite to go in on the other sandwiches and get the spring rolls, which also has a fairly diverse and unique lineup of bbq meats to chose from. One of the best banh mis in the city. Skip the Dinosaur by SFSU for this.

    Bbq pork

    My family likes to go to Kim Son across the street and one day noticed this place across the street. I believe the owner has some relation to the business, so we decided to try it out since we love Kim Son's food! Bbq pork - 4/5, super flavorful pork! Didn't quite seem like your typical grilled pork, but I didn't mind. It still had that bbq pork flavor, which was very strong. Luckily, the pickled veggies helped tame the flavor. Combo - 4/5, fatty pork belly and sliced pork deli meat. Pretty good, I usually always get chicken but decided to try combos. Not too salty, but still tasted good. The different types of pork gave it a lot of texture, which I liked. Although these sandwiches were solid as is, I definitely think they could have added a thicker layer of mayo and paté. It was a very thin spread, and I personally like a generous amount.

    I generally don't like to leave bad reviews unless warranted and to warn people. Overall, not a bad place or experience, but I have no intentions to come back anytime soon. Service was ok, there were no other customers and our food didn't take long. Egg rolls are a hard pass. There was a pool of grease at the bottom of the box. Nobody complained about any of their sandwiches (bbq beef & bbq pork). Combo sandwich looks good. ** my pork belly sandwich was not that good. Super small thin slices of meat and only 4 small pieces of recognizable pork belly. The rest looked like lean pork loin, no belly fat. My whole sandwich was buried under carrots, I had to dig to find the meat.

    service is quick and food is good but the iced thai tea i got had a lot of tea leaf bits that wasn't strained out well....

    Searching up for some inexpensive eats and came across Mr. Banh Mi! So my bf and I decided to grab a few sandwiches here. VIETNAMESE HEADCHEESE SANDWICH ~ I love headcheese. because of its chew texture! Had to try this. With the headcheese, they add pâté spread and mayo. Pretty decent sized Banh Mi for $9! It had a good amount of pickled veggies as well as meat. I enjoyed the crispy toasted French roll too! Filled me for quite a while. 5/5 BBQ PORK SANDWICH ~ My bf had this and enjoyed it! I took a bite and liked the BBQ pork. It really shines in the sandwich. 5/5 Awesome sandwiches! We'll be back to try other things on the menu.

    Is this place closed?

    No.

    Hello! Is this place temporarily closed? The store has not been open for more than a week.

    They closed beginning with Labor Day for a two week vacation. Can't wait for them to reopen!

    Does anyone know if their Imperial Rolls have Shrimp? Some places only do pork which is good for me as I'm allergic to Shrimp.

    Is this place still open? It has been closed for a week or more and there is no sign indicating when they will reopen.

    I'm guessing you already know the answer to this, they are still open. I was there two weeks ago.

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

    Wait did I really just order a sub two days in a row? Before this, my last visit was prepandemic…read more It's been that long! The subs are so good and fairly priced. Mr.Happy is my favorite thus far. It's packed with fresh ingredients and enough to feed one hungry Mr or Mrs. You'll sure be happy after this meal. What's even better is that they have a dining area next next door. It's clean and filled with games if you just wanna hang out.

While I was waiting for my coffee, a pizza passed by with an incredible aroma. It looked so good that I immediately started looking through the menu. To my surprise, I found many of my favorite dishes on it. As a European, I couldn't help but comment on how much I liked the menu and the overall feel of the place. The food selection, presentation, and attention to detail reminded me of the cafés I enjoy back in Europe. The young woman who served my cappuccino welcomed me with a warm smile and was genuinely friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I came in for a coffee and left excited to return. I'll definitely be back soon to explore the menu and try more of their dishes.

    What a lovely spot in a quiet part of Outer Richmond. Warm, bright and inviting storefront welcomes…read moreyou in - ample yet quaint seating area with expansive windows greet you. Beware of the setting sun - it can be intense as it moves! But that's not a fault. I was greeted by cheerful, kind service from the attentive team. A number of fun and interesting wines are available by the glass - I chose an extra brut pet-nat Pinot Grigio to start and a Mendocino Sangiovese with my food. The Vitamin C Salad was flavorful and a bit unique with its pistachio vinaigrette dressing. Fresh ingredients in all the food. My Margherita pizza was a rectangular 8 piece gem, with vivid tomato flavors and ample cheese. The crust was equally delicious and suited the pizza just right. I would definitely return to try some of the different other selections. This is a place worth navigating to. Perhaps if you're headed for a little walk at Lands' End - or headed to Baker what's up , this is a great stop. I'll definitely make another visit down the road!
