b&b | Banh Mi & Boba - San Francisco, California

J

This is one of the more filling and worthwhile banh mi shops you'll find the city.

It's sometimes difficult to find proper French roll but the chew and crunch was just right. The fillings are extremely generous and tasty – we tried the five spice chicken, special combo and tofu. The staff is beyond friendly and the small storefront is very clean.

If I had one small criticism, it's that I wish the shredded carrots and daikon were pickled a bit more. A little acid would have further elevated these already delicious sandwiches.

Cute little new boba spot that opened a few months ago. I mean, it’s really little. They have bar seating for maybe 4 people. The sandwiches are fully loaded. The drinks are good too. Staff are really nice and accommodating.

The workers were so communicative. They let us know that our order was going to take a while because of how many orders they were trying to complete and asked if that was okay before taking our order.

Well… why wouldn’t we be ok with that! It’s a hole in the wall that we always drive past and see crowds of people waiting for outside.

Surely, we settled for a b&b combo and a bulgogi beef sandwich, as the owner seemed enthusiastic about his craft for those sammies when recommending us some options. We also got tempted and ordered the lychee love and the jazzy mango with some free boba topping, courtesy of Yelp check-in. Though sandwiches were a little on the more expensive side, our tummies were stuffed and taste buds were satisfied. Would recommend both b&b combo and the bulgogi beef sandwich because both were packed with meats/veggies and tastes fresh/flavorful. However, for the drinks, I would skip the fruit teas and maybe try a milk tea instead? The fruit teas were nothing special and seem to just use syrup with no actual fruit bits either.

Now, you’ve read me rambling enough, go try this hole in the wall for your own!

The boba drinks at this spot are expertly crafted. I consistently choose the real Taro with mochi and it never disappoints—it’s truly exceptional. However, the Bánh Mìs are the real stars here; they absolutely steal the show. The perfect combination of pâté, choice protein, and fresh daikon, carrots, and cucumber, all served on a flawlessly toasted baguette, creates an unforgettable experience. My only wish is for a Fairfield location. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant; it's well worth your time.

The boba here is so yummy! Stumbled upon this shop after getting my nails done. The service was really amazing, you can see how much they care about their food & drinks.

Hadn’t gotten a boba I liked so much in awhile think their parings are awesome for those who love fruit teas

Great spot for boba and Banh Mi sandwiches. Parking can be a trouble but expected in San Francisco. The food and drinks are all good, decent price and brought out quickly. The staff is nice and welcoming. Overall, a great place to pick up some quick grub.

If I could give zero stars I would. I came here today around 4 and got a Tai milk tea and a bam mi. The sandwich was horrible it smelles rotten and straight up like garbage. The smell was so bad I was on the bus and it stunk up the whole bus and I didn't know it was the sandwich until I got off and smelled my backpack which I might add I can still smell the smell in it. Maybe this was a bad day but this was a huge no. This company really needs to work on throwing out food that is past its shelf life.

The Dac Biet special combo was my favorite sandwich. The chicken was really good too. The bread was flaky without being hard or too crispy. The interior of the bread was light and fluffy. The pate on the Dac biet reminded me of the style from Vietnam. The Tiger tea was amazing! I will definitely be back.
