"Banh Mi Crunch is the best bánh mì shop west of Van Ness. They have eight options, each with rich fillings like sliced grilled pork or crispy lemongrass beef. Every sandwich is packed to the brim, all on bread that’s crispy on the outside and delightfully soft on the inside. The sandwiches are the best thing to get—and the most portable lunch option, which is important when there are only a few seats inside—but the big rice and noodle plates are an excellent heftier pick." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
