Cafe Bunn Mi

I’m really frustrated. We specifically asked for no cilantro. The cashier confirmed it. When I opened my to go order, there was so much cilantro in my pho. If it wasn’t frigid in the restaurant itself we would’ve opened it up and caught in and returned it immediately. Unfortunately that was not an option today. Please have your kitchen staff be more mindful of dietary requests.

Wednesday is the dayyyyyy Perfect balance of meat and veggies 🔥 Grilled pork banh mi also amazing (not pictured cuz I devoured)

Came here bc of GrubwithMike on Insta, and got their Crispy Duck Bun Mi. The most expensive sandwich on the menu and it was only okay. Bread was a little stale. Got two pieces of duck and it was mostly skin and fat which I guess is all duck in a way. But $19 for this, not worth it. Not coming back. The restaurant also smelled like old bleach when you walk in. Maybe they had an off day? I did go at 3:30pm on a Monday…

I have now tried every reputable Bahn mi shop in San Francisco and I will say they have the best ones yet. The balance between the meat and veggies is perfect and everything is super fresh and flavorful. The sandwich and veggies are crunchy and the meat soft. The lemongrass steak is to die for. They also have other options like pho that seemed legit. I need to go back and try. Seating inside is available. They only take cash.

The sandwiches are fancy and on the big portion side. I feel it would be ok without the cabbage and purple cabbage that alone to me is a bit extra but the pork belly sandwich I ate was delicious and tender. The Vietnamese coffee was too bitter for me I had to fill it up with water and was still bitter, I feel it lacked a bit more of condensed milk.
