Authentic and excellent food served by friendly staff. I got the tofu sandwich (essentially a banh mi) and vegan rolls. Both exceeding expectations. Vegan options. Sooo good I got a second sandwich for later togo!

Vegan Sandwich and the Vegan Rolls were great. The sandwich is large, served warm, and is tasty. Filled with Tofu, Yams, Carrots, Jicama. The rolls are great. Decently sized and 4 come in an order. They’re all individually wrapped. Delectable. Can’t wait to go back. :)

This is the $9 Vietnamese Chicken sandwich. So much chicken is stuffed in here and the French bread is stellar. Just the right amount of crunch on the outside and soft bread on the inside. Come here to get your sandwich before going to the beach!

I believe it was the owners that helped us out and they were very polite, were busy making orders, but paid attention to us and said they would be with us shortly. I got the mayonnaise bread, BBQ Pork Sandwich, Egg Rolls and a Thai Iced Tea. The sandwich was amazing, as was the mayonnaise bread. I’m not a big Thai iced tea guy, so that was just okay. I enjoyed the egg rolls as well, especially dunked in the chili sauce. Come check it out when you are in Pacifica.

Absolute staple of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. Have always taken care of me and the food is next level. I always love a great bahn mi and this one is my favorite. I come from redwood city and it’s always worth the 45-60 min drive.

Delicious Banh Mi, iced coffee, and spring rolls! A little bit of seating inside, and a convenient drive over after to park by the ocean! Friendly service and clean restroom.

Vegans items are not clearly labelled, would clarify with staff. Got the tofu bahn mi with no mayo. Very flavorful and still moist despite the no mayo as the tofu was marinated and moist. Small amount of seating inside and one small table outside.

Really delicious sandwich. Service is fast and the people are super nice. Doesn't look like much from the outside but totally worth it

Love this little place. Staff is always pleasant, food is great and price is good. I like the combo banh mi, the bbq pork over vermicelli and the bbq pork banh mi.

Third times a charm. They were open this time. So i put my laundry in the wash next door and headed over to Kitten. I had the shrimp Mayo toasted Bread. I thought it was great. Also had the egg roll plate. They were pretty good. Both items were served popping hot. I had to wait and let them cool. This is always a must for me... hot food needs to be hot. I had the BBQ pork sandwich. It was a little salty for me but im also getting over a cold and my tastey buds are probably a little wacky. The bread was fresh and perfect crunchy. All in all I will give this place another shot.

Was craving a good Banh Mi so I decided to give this place a try. I ordered for pick up through the phone and picked it up in <20 mins. Upon pick-up, the owners were friendly and welcoming! Ordered the BBQ Pork Sandwich and Vegan Sandwich. So good! The Banh Mis were packed with veggies… A+. Prices were cheap at only $7 a sandwich!

Sweet local vietnamese place. Kind and welcoming staff. Best to order a sandwhich to go and then enjoy it while facing the ocean. BEWARE SEAGULLS!

So I am rounding up on my review. I would prefer to give the food 3.7 stars. The sandwich had a generous amount of meat. I think the vegetables could have been fresher. They didn’t come off as crisp as they should have. The staff was definitely very kind. The egg rolls were good. Not overly greasy for something deep fried. I would like to go back and try the other dishes.

Nothing is better than a banh mi on the beach. Awesome to find this place not far from the beach. We picked up some food to go from this mom and pop shop with chill vibe. The staff was wonderful and got our food out quick. The BBQ pork banh mi and the BBQ rice plate were great choices and was the authentic deal. The bread was amazing in the sandwich and tasted super fresh.

I wanted to like this place but it was a bit disappointing. The chicken over rice was a bit sparce and dry, and the pork over vermicelli was just okay. Prices are relatively fair and definitely had worse, but I had higher hopes for this place given other reviews.

Vermicelli were cold and chunky. Bbq pork was ok. Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk so sweet that it was impossible to drink

I love banh mi, have travelled the whole bay area and to my different countries trying them. I can honestly say this place has the worst banh mi in the bay area and probably anywhere. I have never not finished a banh mi in my life. Got a number 1 combo, a number 5 grill pork and a Vietnamese coffee. It was the worst sandwich I ever had. I threw away the remaining half of each sandwich. Bread was super chewy, if u have bad teeth, good luck taking a bite. The overall taste was lacking. Not authentic, the owner put his own twist on things and it is not good. The grilled pork tastes and feels like it's been boiled. There is no grill taste normally found on this type of sandwich whatsoever. The coffee had a 90 percent ice vs coffee ratio. I finished my drink with a straw full of drinking, all liquid gone and left with a full cup of ice. The credit card machine will automatically select an 18 percent tip. I love family owned businesses and often purchase from them. This one needs a lot of work. I will not be back.

Ordered a pork Ban Mi, what I got was not a BBQ pork, but sliced pieces of what appeared to be thin portion of pork and ton of Turkey. Yes, Turkey. I could not get the after taste out of my mouth. It was gross.
