"Banh Mi Crunch is the best bánh mì shop west of Van Ness. They’ve got eight different options, each with rich fillings like the sliced grilled pork or the crispy lemongrass beef. Every sandwich is packed with pickled daikon, carrot, cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeño, all on bread that’s crispy and crunchy on the outside while being delightfully soft on the inside. The sandwiches are definitely the easiest lunch option, but the big selection of rice and noodle plates also make a great refueling meal." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
