Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
This is the closest Vietnamese sandwich place to my office. They’re pretty good, but definitely not as cheap or tasty as Saigon Sandwich.
Grilled lemongrass Kurobuta pork, pate de campagne, mortadella, fried egg garlic mayo, shaved onion, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, jalapenos, cilantro. $8.50
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was fine, but the cashier overcharged me and had such an attitude. So lame!
Caramel mayo, shaved onion, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, jalapenos, and cilantro. Add fried egg. $7.95
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was pretty tasty. I liked the flavor of the five spice chicken and the added egg made this a pretty substantial sandwich for lunch.
Cauliflower relish, red curry mayo, jalapeño. With added pate. $7.50
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
I liked this, but I thought that I would need a little more substance so I got pate added. It tasted pretty great!
Kurobuta pork belly, radish relish, shaved onion, pickled carrot and daikon, jalapenos, cucumber, and cilantro. $6.75
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
This tasted great. I wish there was more pork in it, of course, but the ingredients were quality and Bun Mee always makes great sandwiches. The roll is kinda harder than I like, but the mayo helps soften it.
Cubed mango, shredded napa cabbage, chili lime dressing topped with sesame seeds. $3
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
This salad definitely needed more mango! And everything was too acidic so there wasn’t any balance. Gonna have to pass on this next time.
Shipping container cranes, Port of Oakland.
Crispy fried turmeric catfish, red curry mayo, shaved onion, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, jalapenos, cilantro. $6.75
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
I pretty much like all the sandwiches at Bun Mee, I just wished there was more fish in this one. I still tasted great but it felt like it was mostly veggies.
Westbound 152.
Fried egg, shredded papaya, lotus root relish, pickled carrots and daikon, topped with Vietnamese herbs, spicy mayo, and fried shallots over brown rice and grilled pork. $11.75
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was a great, creative Vietnamese salad. The combination of ingredients was great and it was pretty hearty for a salad. I’m a sucker for eggs on top of everything so they had me there. I especially liked the lotus root relish because it was very different.
Red curry ground beef, house garlic mayo, shaved onion, thai basil, jalapenos, sunny free range egg. $7.75
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was good, but it didn’t blow my socks off. I thought that the red curry beef could have used a bit more flavor. My favorite part was the sunny egg and jalapenos. The sandwich did maintain its Vietnamese roots in its flavor profile which was nice. I thought it was really good quality so I’ll probably return and try some of the other banh mi’s.
