Banh Mi Crunch

Restaurant · Inner Sunset

"While there are plenty of great bánh mis around Little Saigon, if you find yourself on the west side of the city during the middle of the day, head to Banh Mi Crunch in the Inner Sunset. They’ve got eight different options, each with umami-rich fillings like the sliced grilled pork or the crispy lemongrass beef. Every sandwich is packed with the requisite pickled daikon, carrot, cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeño, all on a bread that’s crispy and crunchy on the outside while being delightfully soft on the inside. The sandwiches make for the easiest lunch option, but there’s also a big selection of rice and noodle plates that would make a great refueling meal after a long morning at work. And if you’re looking for even more bánh mì, we’ve got a guide for that too. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
