"This tiny Vietnamese spot in the Tenderloin is a hot spot for a quick breakfast or lunch—the cash-only spot closes at 4pm, so you’ll have to swing by during daylight hours for your bún riêu (which rings in at exactly $15, but can easily feed two). But the best value lies in the $6 bánh mì. They’re made on plump rolls that soak up the mayo and pâté without getting the least bit soggy, and will easily power you through your inevitable midday slump." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
