This spot was on the way to camping so we popped in to grab several banh mis to go. Found metered parking on the street. There are a couple tables and chairs inside if you want to eat on site. It was a bit busy when I got there around noon on a Friday. I placed my order and the food was ready in less than 10 minutes. There was only one lady working the store but she was so prompt! Sandwiches costs approximately $9 each. Special pork: 5/5 very tasty dac biet! Pork belly: 5/5 tasty and fatty. Grilled beef: 5/5 good flavor. Highly recommend this place! read more

I ordered a couple banh mi from here for lunch and dinner and had pretty high expectations given the high rating. My honest opinion is that the banh mi are just okay. There were no issues with my order, and my instructions to remove the mayo were followed perfectly. The bread is certainly fresh. No complaints there, but as for the filling, it just doesn't really hit for either the tofu or dac biet options. There weren't many veggies except for on the surface, and maybe it's just my hypersensitive tastebuds, but both the tofu and dac biet meats tasted slightly sour. Not really sure what's up with that, and no, I'm not referring to pickled daikon and carrots. Overall, both options definitely left something to be desired. read more

We stopped by for a quick lunch while in the neighborhood. I've had my fair share of Vietnamese sandwiches and have been on the hunt for the next best place. To start, the location has fairly easy metered parking, the shop was very clean but small and the woman/owner? was very sweet. When we got there shortly before 1pm, it was very busy and with only 2 chairs, 1 table and a bench to sit at. We ordered 2 #1- special combinations ($8.50/each) and an order of spring rolls ($6.99). The special sandwiches are cold meat with pate and all the fixings. For the price and size of the sandwich, it was worth it. The jalapeños in there were definitely giving it a kick, and the pickled veggies and cucumbers were definitely fresh. The bread was great, crunchy but not to a point where the bread was falling apart as you were eating it. The owner graciously offered us cups of water too since we were eating in, but we had our bottles of bottle so we declined. They also sell sodas and milk tea if that sparks your interests. The shrimp spring rolls were good, not great. It was fresh but nothing crazy special about them. We would probably skip out of those next time. The only issue we had was the register wasn't working. It kept glitching and at one point we paid but then it said an amount was still due. Not really the owner's fault, but the system itself. Overall, quick eats, yummy sandwiches, and nice service. PS if you are looking for a good deal, they have a special combo you can get, it's 1 sandwich and a drink for $11.99! I'll definitely be back! read more

For a quick banh mi sandwich fix, try Phi Long. Get a sandwich for around $9 or a sandwich and boba drink of your choice for $12. As far as ambiance goes, it's really a take out joint, so enjoy your meal at a nearby park or the Richmond library. The grilled pork was pretty tasty, and upon reading other reviews on Yelp, I asked for extra pickled veggies and the owner happily obliged. I love that the bread was perfectly crispy yet did not give me roof takers. I'll be back to try the combo sandwich. For the milk tea choices, I enjoyed the brown sugar boba and Thai boba, which offers real milk vs the powdered kind. Gave it 4 stars because they ran out of boba at lunchtime. read more

Phi Long is a decent option for banh mi in the Richmond. My first visit was around when they first opened and initially, I was not super impressed. However on my recent visit, it seems like the sandwiches have gotten a little bigger and tastes pretty good. The combination banh mi has 3 types of thinly sliced meat and pate. The bread tastes fresh and I appreciate that the meat is thinly sliced. Overall, it's pretty solid but I think the pate is a tad bit salty, and there could be more pickled vegetables to balance it out. The coffee is super bitter for me and is made with condensed milk and milk. The meal combi is now $11.99 for a sandwich and drink. When they first opened, the deal was $10.88 but the sandwich was smaller and now the sandwich is a better size. I would rather pay a little more for a bigger sandwich. Laat time I got a milk tea that might've been jasmine, and thought it was a little too sweet. Not sure if that has changed since. read more

Phi Long Sandwich - Combination banh mi and coffee - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm still standing by my old 5* review but for the sake of visibility, I will give a low review for this one - as the prices are pretty affordable given the area and it's a small family owned business. Great to see they're expanding their menu here and there. I just want the owners to see this review. Only reason I'm writing my review is in hope the workers or owner here sees it. I dropped by to order some lunch and right before I ordered, one of the workers handed money change to the customer in front of me with the gloves she used to make the customer's spring rolls in. After touching money, she used the same pair of gloves to cut the bread for my bahn mi. I try not to make it a big deal but it's kind of disgusting. Makes me wonder what else the gloves were used for prior to me and the other customer. Food should not be handled after touching money! read more

Delicious banh mi sandwich from this small takeout shop. We ordered 3 for takeout and arrived late to pick it up. The sweet owner offered to heat it up. We declined as the sandwiches were still warm. I ordered beef and hubby ordered pork. Sandwiches were sizable and had lots of meat with veggies on french loaves. It hit the spot! Sweet owner also gave us water when we chose to eat in at the solo table available. Next time I plan to order the sandwich with a drink as it's just 3 dollars more. read more

The sandwich was delicious. They give you a good amount of meat. Egg rolls are decent but need to put more cabbage. The vietnamese coffee is strong and has good flavor. If you're in neighborhood, give them a try. The 2 ladies who work there are very sweet. read more

Their sandwiches instantly bring me back to the old-school Vietnamese coffee joints in the Tenderloin from back in the day (IYKYK). Those spots have all disappeared with the last one being sing sing, so stumbling upon Phi Long feels like finding a hidden gem. I've been coming back every other morning since! The bread-to-filling ratio is perrrrfect -- not oversized, not overstuffed, just authentic and balanced with the right combination of vietnamese ham's. (I get it with extra mayo and ooooOooF) And the biggest surprise? EVER since coming back from Hà Nội, I've been searching all over SF for a proper salted coffee. Couldn't find it anywhere--until here. I was a bit hesitant when ordering but to my surprise it was soooo goooood. They make it strong, bold, and so, so good. OBSESSED read more

My toxic trait is going for lunch #2 when lunch #1 is terrible. This was a blessing in disguise because I would have slept on Phi Long Sandwich. This little neighborhood gem is like a slice of E San Jo in the city. Opening in April 2024, they have specials like Canh Khổ Qua (bitter melon soup), Bánh Tét (sticky rice cake w/ pork belly + mung beans) and Chân Gà Sốt Thái (chicken feet w/ thai sauce) that you won't even find in the TL. It's mainly a takeout only spot as there's only one table for dine-in. M E N U A variety of Bánh Mì ($8.50 - $8.99). Make it a combo with a drink for $10.99. This includes boba milk tea and cà phê sữa đá (Viet iced coffee) - a great deal! They also have specials which I mentioned along with Bò Kho (Viet beef stew), Phở Ga (Chicken Soup), Com Sườn Nướng (Grilled Pork Chop Rice) and more. Some items are packed as takeout in the fridge and have to be warmed up. I'm not sure if they have the same specials all the time so highly recommend calling ahead. Cc's accepted. F O O D * #1 Bánh Mì Dặc Biệt w/ chả (fancy pork), giò thủ (headcheese), pâté, mayo, veggies | $8.50: https://tinyurl.com/36w7v2cu - Request extra pâté IMO, this rivals the ones in TL and E SJ - light, crackly soft baguette generously filled with rich pâté, layers of smooth fancy pork and gelatinous headcheese, and veggies (pickled + fresh cucumber + jalapeño). Flavorful and deliciously satisfying. It would be 5 stars if they put more pickled veggies to cut through the savory richness *and* if they used Viet yolk-rich mayo or butter cut mayo (they use American mayo). * Bánh Tét: Sticky Rice Cake w/ pork belly + mung beans | $15: https://tinyurl.com/4r5bcmvr - Special for Tết, Lunar New Year The Viet cousin of Chinese zongzi/joong, the sticky rice cake is filled with mung beans and pork belly. This rendition was tasty but wasn't rolled tight enough so it unraveled while cutting into. Also, it could use a bigger/thicker cut of pork belly for a better protein-to-rice ratio (pork belly was the width of a dime). I like slicing and pan-frying it until the exterior is golden brown and crunchy. I did find a strand of hair when unwrapping the roll (I tripled check to make sure it wasn't from the banana leaf) but it was probably a one off. S E R V I C E Friendly. A M B I A N C E Bare bones with one table for seating. P A R K I N G Easily found metered parking in front during weekday lunchtime. Overall, Phi Long is an under the radar gem in Inner Richmond. Would def return for their bánh mì and chân gà sốt thái (when they have it). read more

The woman that works here is amazing and kind to everyone, the food is great, and the prices are very reasonable.

This place made me download yelp! I come here all the time and it never fails. Grilled pork bahn mi with an iced coffee is the perfect way to start my day. The workers here are so nice, the price is unbeatable, and the food is amazing. Also they open at 8am! I'm addicted to this place, 11/10 would recommend. read more

I've come here twice now and both times were delicious! They have a banh mi and drink special for a certain set price which I got! Their banh mi bread was flakey, and tasted very fresh! Didn't skimp in any of the fillings and customer service was great! My order didn't take long at all. There are a couple seating options to wait but not much of a dine in sort of establishment They also have a noodle/meat and eggroll special going on that I want to try next time! Great place to get a good lunch to-go read more

I've had my fair share of banh mis growing up. My favorite used to be the chicken banh mi from Cam Huong all the way in Oakland Chinatown before they changed ownership (RIP.) I've been on the hunt for a replacement sandwich since then. Like many others have posted about, the giant sign outside the shop, displaying a sandwich + drink combo meal for $11.99, was the first thing I saw and was what drew me in. I ordered a chicken banh mi and a boba with high hopes that I'd finally have a contender, but I was disappointed. The French bread on the banh mi was rubbery and didn't have that satisfying crunch to it. The chicken tasted kind of old, too. I'm not sure if it's because I went in the afternoon, but their ingredients didn't taste very fresh at that time of the day? The boba was also mediocre at best; it was a little too sweet for my liking. I wouldn't be paying $4.99 for it outside of this combo meal for sure. The lady behind the counter took my order AND prepared it, so props to her for being a one woman show! I also see that this shop is listed on DoorDash, too, so it's extra impressive that she's able to keep up with online and in-person orders all by herself. All in all, I don't think I'll be back to try this place again. Looks like I'll still be on the hunt for a good chicken banh mi in the Bay Area! read more

Service was great. Lady at the counter was warm and happy. Ordered two chicken bahn mi. They were out of the noodle bowl because we came late. Sandwiches were yummy. However, Saigon Sandwich is my standard. I can't say it was better than Saigon Sandwich. I will definitely return for another bahn mi. And have to try the noodle bowl, and the beef stew. read more

go there for the most reasonably priced delicious refreshing food. you will not be disappointe.

Very tasty food and they also have great service. Highly recommend if you are in the area. It is also decorated very nicely with good music

Nice, no frills vietnamese sandwich shop. I got the combo sandwich and chicken sandwich. The baguette didn't scratch the roof of your mouth like other places. The lady behind the counter was very polite and very quick for someone making the sandwiches and manning the counter. Cash always preferred, but I paid for credit card. read more

This is a tiny little shop with one table and a bench. The counter staff is incredibly kind and kept offering things to accommodate my family, like an extra bowl so we could share soup, and water for my little boy. We got a Vietnamese coffee, pork belly banh mi, and chicken soup with vermicelli noodles. The soup portion was incredibly generous and the broth was delicious. The coffee was exactly right. The banh mi was the star of the meal, though. I don't know where they source their bread but it is possibly the best sandwich roll I've ever had for banh mi. The vegetables were perfectly fresh and crunchy, and the filling was on the wet side--not sloppy, but enough that the sandwich never felt dry. We shall return! read more

This family-owned spot offers just one table for in house seating, perfect for to go orders. Pretty self explanatory, you walk up to view the menu to order. Service is standard, it's not slow. I appreciate their Special Combo, which includes a sandwich and drink for $11.99, such a great deal! I went with my usual order: a combination sandwich and Vietnamese iced coffee. The food overall is solid, the bread is perfectly toasted. PRO TIP: eat the sandwich upside down to avoid scratching the roof of your mouth, thank me later. Though I wish the egg mayo had more of a classic vietnamese eggy flavor rather than tasting like American mayo. Their pate have really nice balance and doesn't taste too "livery" lol. I love that the jalapeños pack a real spicy punch! The Vietnamese iced coffee is on the stronger side due to less condensed milk, which works perfectly for me. read more

Phi Long Sandwich - Combo - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Let me just start this review by stating the this is one woman team and she's super sweet and very informative. $10.99 for a Banh mi and drink is an unbeatable deal indeed. Meatball sandwich- (3/5) the bread was soft and fluffy and held everything together really well. The meat to bread ratio was below standard and was a bit disappointing, but for $7.99 a Banh mi, can't really complain. The meatball itself was a bit on the saltier side but I really enjoyed the pickled vegetables. Beef Banh mi- (3/5) the beef was a bit dry but it wasn't too bad. Nothing really stood out for me flavor wise. Matcha milk tea- (2/5) the matcha flavor was too subtle for my liking. I'm giving this place an overall 3.2 stars. read more

Recently opened in Inner Richmond, next door to Noodle in a Haystack ($$$) and Wooden Charcoal Korean Village Barbecue House ($$), this Vietnamese sandwich shop may have found a niche for the more frugal breakfast/lunch crowd. Formerly occupied by a Russian deli, now this is a Vietnamese sandwich shop offering a limited menu of Banh mi to-go with very reasonable prices. All the sandwiches start at $7.99. And if you get it as a combo (with drink) then it's $10.99. They also can make fresh rolls for $5.99. I only saw shrimp version for now, but I'm sure they can make others if you ask. The drinks start at $2.99 and up but if you get the combo sandwich/drink deal, it's $10.99 making it a great deal and for those of us that like to try different variations. EDIT: After I wrote about the only negative so far, (they only offer meat sandwiches and nothing for the vegetarians) I read that they now also offer tofu sandwiches. So yay, vegetarian can now have one sandwich. Maybe they will expand their offerings once they settle as they have only recently opened. Taste-wise, the sandwiches are crunchy, filled and tasty. I got a #1 combination sandwich combo on their opening day and it seemed very light filling, but I got the sandwich again today and they definitely improved with more filling, so I think they are working out any kinks and taking suggestions from the neighborhood patrons. The drinks are really good and the ladies that make them are so sweet and will adjust the drinks to your taste. Clean and friendly ambiance and service. Although this is more of a to-go/takeout place, they do have some bench seatings inside. They accept cash and credit cards. read more

I usually never write reviews but wow, the service of this spot was amazing. not only that but the restaurant was very clean and welcoming. I recommend trying the number 1 combo it was filling and tasted very good. this is now my go to shop for lunch around here read more

I'm on a Vietnamese sandwich kick. This combination satisfied that craving. Sandwich was huge, 12 inches (idk). Wish there was more cilantro and more shredded carrots. I like sandwiches containing my daily vegetables quota. The veggies are a little skimpy, but the price is right, about $12 with passion fruit drink. I like the pate, not overly salty. I waited an hour to eat this so it still had a little bread crunch, not soggy. Combination has pork slices. All-in-all, a good sandwich. They have bun hue bo soup on the weekends. Vietnamese dessert for $6. Marinated chicken feet sounds delicious. Looking forward to try something else next time. Some benches and chairs. I got there 5:15 pm and they were still open. The sign said close at 5 pm. read more

Solid no-frills Vietnamese shop in Inner Richmond. I got the combo deal (any sandwich and drink for $11.99) and chose the Special Combination banh mi and Thai iced tea, which made for a nice lunch. It isn't the most meat-heavy and filling, but a decent amount for a simple lunch. GGP is a couple blocks away to enjoy your meal from! Would come back to try another sandwich if in the area. read more

Their Bahn Mi sandwiches have extremely generous portions of vegetables, meat, and pate. Prices are very affordable, averaging out to about $8.50 a sandwich. I got 6 sandwiches for $50 total. Cash preferred but card is also accepted. The person behind the counter is welcoming, polite, and quick. They got my sandwiches out in 15-20 minutes. Highly recommended spot, for $8.50 a sandwich you get portion sizes bigger than other bahn mi spots that charge nearly $10+ a sandwich, such as Mr Bahn Mi, An Chi, or Dragoneats. read more

Tried thier combo sandwich today and the meat had a very strange aftertaste. Very strangely wet meat as well. The meatball was a whole mess. It was the blandest meatball sandwich ive ever had. It didn't even taste like real meat. It was pasty and tasted like it had some kind of strange filler to it. I've never had a meatball sandwich so hard to describe due to the weird taste and bad texture. The sandwich needs a better balance from veggies to meat ratio. If you have bad meat quality the sandwich is ruined. read more

How to rate a banh mi place? Order their Combination special first. It was legit!! The pate/meat/mayo/veggie ratio is spot on. The bread was super light and had a nice soft crunch. It was absolutely delicious and was a fair price. I can't wait to go back and try the meatball banh mi next!!! read more

The combo banh mi was fire $12 for a banh mi and a drink is a great deal. 10/10 will come back

I went to try this place as I was early for work and wanted to grab a coffee. I saw the review below me saying how they had a really good salted coffee so I decided to try it. I saw out front there's a sign for a deal $11.99 for a combo sandwich and a coffee. I ordered the salt coffee which I thoroughly enjoyed, the coffee was the right about of sweet (not too sweet but also not bitter) really well balanced! I ate the sandwich a few hours later and the amount of meat is on the generous side, the pate was good too! Might be that I didn't eat the sandwich right away cause the bread was kinda stale by the time I ate it but otherwise really solid option, I would go again if I were in the area. Not a lot of dine in space, and the lady was friendly and quick. read more

Got a dac biet banh mi (special combo) via Uber Eats. Pretty solid with all the right ingredients and seasoned well. The baguette was light and crispy. The inside was soft and chewy. Only thing I wish I had done differently was come by to grab it sooner. I suspect the baguette would have been way better freshly toasted. As I was eating the sandwich I really wanted to dislike it but just could not. Would definitely come back to try it fresh and see what else they have to offer (though extremely hard for me to stray from the dac biet). Can't speak to the service since I did Uber Eats, but the spot looked bright and clean. There were some seats inside to dine in. Also noticed a $10.99 combo for sandwich and a drink. Will probably do that next time I come back! Not going to be like Duc Huong in SJ, but great spot in the neighborhood that I wouldn't mind frequenting. read more

I had a craving for banh mi and found this place online. I decided to try it out after reading all the reviews. I also opted for the special combo special which includes any sandwich and any drink for $12.99. I ordered 3 banh mi's: #1 combination: #3 which has pork belly, meatball, ham, & pate: and #4 chicken and added pate. For the drinks, I got old faithful iced vietnamese milk coffee. #3 exceeded my expectations, so tender and mouth watering. #1 was just ok. #4 is good as is, and it was even better after I heated it up for a minute in the microwave. Coffee is good and strong. I'm so glad they open early at 7am so there is ample parking and the meters have not started yet. I highly recommend trying out this place and support local businesses. Sorry no pics as the food was devoured too fast. read more
