Mom's Pho & Banh Mi

Solid banh mi at a reasonable price and fast. The bread is warm and crispy, while the meats are tender and juicy. The store is small but comfortable, and at lunch times chances are good that you could meet that home renovation contractor you were looking for.

I recently stopped by Mom’s Pho & Banh Mi in Oakland and was pleasantly surprised. Their pho is comforting with a nice balance of flavors, and the banh mi sandwiches are definitely worth trying — soft, chewy bread packed with flavorful fillings like BBQ pork or chicken. The vibe is casual and laid-back, perfect for lunch or a quick bite, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Portions are good for the price, and it’s a solid choice if you’re craving classic Vietnamese comfort food without anything too fancy.

Excellent banh mi, love the French roll in particular. And you absolutely cannot beat the $7.50-8.00 price. I get all around the Bay Area for work and this is the best lunch deal I've found. Will definitely stop in again to try a rice or vermicelli plate next time I'm in the area. They've got some stiff competition nearby but this place is great.

This place has delicious food and kind, attentive service at a reasonable price. I recommend the fried tofu banh mi and chicken vermicelli salad (pictured). My date loved the pork banh mi as well!

The young man that works the counter is the sweetest and most cheerful employee. His service made our dine in experience even better. The sandwiches were good for the price really loved the banh mi bread, not sure if they make it in house but it was delicious soft yet chewy. And the Vietnamese coffee was on the sweet side for me I had to fill up the rest with water. Other than that it was good
