Description

San Francisco's most renowned and proletarian example of French-Vietnamese cuisine is served from behind the counter of a bare-bones Tenderloin hole-in-the-wall. The house banh mi packs shredded carrots, jalapeños, pickled cucumbers, cilantro, mayonnaise, and your choice of roast chicken, roast pork, tofu, meatballs, or pté into a crisply crusted French roll. The result is a juicy, spicy handheld meal that's as friendly to your wallet as your tastebuds. Quick, efficient service; cash only.
