The 25 Best Restaurants In Oakland - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"A 20-ish block stretch along International Boulevard and East 12th is where you’ll find a concentration of Vietnamese phở houses, cafés, and bánh mì spots—like Banh Mi Ba Le. The counter-service place in Little Saigon is the answer when you need a not-so-sad lunch to power through (another) neverending week. There are 24 sandwiches on the menu, each generously loaded with the most flavorful fillings, from fall-apart grilled pork to meatballs, fish cakes, and sardines, and served still warm. The bánh mì mastery happening here isn’t exactly a secret, so prepare to exercise the ever-dying art of patience." - lani conway, julia chen 1
