Bun Mee

We had plenty of time to walk around the airport due to a plane delay. We stopped by here for lunch and decided to also try a drink out. We ordered the Mama Tran’s Chicken Pho, Five Spice Chicken sandwich, and a Matcha Cold brew. The noodle soup tasted great at the beginning but turn bland due to eating from a paper cup. The sandwich tasted great. The drink didn’t have much taste and could use an adjustment to taste more like coffee and matcha. It didn’t look anything like the picture on the menu. The staff were friendly and made our order quickly.

This has been my go-to-restaurant each time I come to this airport over the past 3-4 years. Sandwiches are great and the pho is also really good! They just need to give a beef option as I don’t think chicken in pho makes a whole lot of sense. It’s a bit pricey but the food is worth the extra dollar. Just be careful opening up the pho or chicken broth that comes with it. Let it cool first!

Absolutely delicious, fresh, hot Vietnamese Pho soup, sides and salads. Better than any restaurant even outside the terminal. They serve alcoholic beverages up to 11:00 pm. Friendly staff and fast. Terminal 1 B Gates for American Airlines. Highly recommend.

As usual eating in SFO is pricey but my God, this sandwich with tender moist flavorful stewed soy chicken in a crunchy baguette is out of this world. The pickled veg add a refreshing touch to the whole ensemble

I am from Vietnam and this is a Vietnamese restaurant. Order Chicken Pho at the Kiost thật show a nice big bowl of pho. Then came to have a very narrow small portion of pho nothing like what was advertised in the picture. You just never serve pho in a small narrow cup bc you need room for the chopstick and spoon (more like a flat stick) together. It’s owner priced for over $21.

Bun Mee was seriously my food savior when I was landing at SFO and realized The Club had a serious wait time. Thank goodness for Viet food that was quick and good. They offer an arrangement of banh mi sandwich options (and I think you could get noodle bowls too... hence the "bun," right?) I ordered the Lemongrass Tofu Banh Mi and subbed out the mayo for their curry mayo which is vegan friendly. My sandwich was done in a matter of minutes and I took it to go on my way out. The sandwich was everything and really hit the spot for me. Large slabs of marinated lemongrass tofu with all the pickled offerings and jalapeno, sandwiched between a toasty baguette with a vegan curry mayo. It was a veggie sandwich dream and for a fairly mid price of $15. Given it's SFO airport food, I'll take it. Would happily come back here again anytime I'm in the terminal and need a trustworthy meal.

Got a chicken bowl which had a good amount protein and was pretty good for the price considering it was at an airport. Also got a taro coconut cream cold brew and it was one of the best drinks I’ve had! Fast service as well

So pleasantly surprised: this is one of the BEST Vietnamese restaurants I've ever had. The workers were efficient and quick, even though they weren't rushing at all to accommodate all of the airport visitors. You could tell they were dedicated to the quality of the food preparation. They were so polite, helpful, and attentive to the growing line. The food was delicious!!! The fries were fresh, the sauce delicious, and the banh mi was so so good. I usually don't get jalapeños but felt the need to try the dish as it was intended to be made. I'm so glad I did. It's just soo good. And the tea I got was so fresh and beautiful; it really hit the spot. They gave me the tea immediately while I was waiting for the food, and it was almost gone when I got it. I'm debating on buying another before my flight. The price was so reasonable too. A whole delicious meal for ~$30 in California??? Incredible. And the packaging was sustainable! Love that. This is also too much food, and I'll have to pack it up for leftovers! I'm really winning here today. Also found a whole lychee and piece of lime in my tea once I finished it, and it was like the cherry on top to eat that thing after that gorgeous tea😘 They have 2 self-order kiosks and 1 counter space for ordering in person. 10/10 would recommend and go again. Incredible they're in the airport too ** Vanilla lychee tea with boba, lemongrass tofu banh mi, sweet potato fries

Very decent pricing for an airport all things considered and fairly quick service for the rush of customers. You order at a self kiosk Fries were very delicious and seasoned, and a lot in the pouch and decently priced ($5). Classic combo had three types of meat and very stuffed. Good flavor and can add jalapeños Cute decor and logo

For airport food, it is very good. This place is located in SF airport, terminal 1. They have good presentation and options of Vietnamese comfort food likes sandwiches (banh mi), phở, vermicelli (bun) and vietnamese coffee. The price is also decent for airport food. Pho is about $15, bánh mi (6 inch sandwich) $12, bun (vermicelli) $13, coffee $5. They have taro, coconut coffee... so good! The service is fast. You place self order via the tablet, get the number and wait for your order to be called. There are 3 ladies cooking, packing food and making coffee. I waited for less than 10 minutes. I had tofu vermicelli and taro coconut coffee. The vermicelli is pretty good with large portion. Veggies are fresh. The fish sauce is typical for the dish. No complaints here!

SF airport near gates F has a food court with lots of food - Chinese, salads, coffee, fried chicken, Mediterranean, etc. I chose this Vietnamese place! Plenty of seating with some booths and regular tables shared between every stall at the food court, though it can get quite busy at almost all times. Sometimes they have artists playing live music too!! I got the original classic sandwich (banh mi), which includes lemongrass pork, mortadella, pare, pickled onions and daikon, onion, Vietnamese herbs and garlic mayo. SO FREAKING GOOD!! The toasted baguette is truly toasted and so crunchy on the outside but soft inside, the lemongrass pork is salty but compliments the crunchy pickled components well!! Only thing is wish they were more generous with the protein. They also gave me a free water cup, which is so nice considering the other stores said they'd have to charge for the empty cup.

Bun Mee Vietnamese Eatery is a popular Vietnamese Restaurant. I like their sandwiches and rice bowls. I had the pork rice bowl today, not so good but it was okay. I just tried the Vietanamese coffee and it was okay. Service was good. Fastfood and casual ambiance. Check it out!

*FOR AIRPORT FOOD* this was excellent. It satisfied every craving for something crispy, refreshing, yet incredibly savory and buttery from the mayo/pate. The actual banh mi roll was not the freshest but the ingredients inside were solid. I got a viet iced coffee with taro and it was delicious. Do not skip on the drinks, i think it's a perfect treat for after the meal. If you're in the airport make sure you grab something here if you're hungry! I was not disappointed at all.

Glad to have Bun Mee available as an option for airport food! While it's not quite the best banh mi you can get in the Bay, it definitely beats a lot of other airport food options. Ordering is done on a tablet and food is prepared quickly. I got the combo banh mi for $14.25 which is pricey but again, we gotta remember we're at the airport so these are airport prices. Turkey and cheese sandwiches sell for similar prices at the nearby shops so I'd pick banh mi over those any day! The banh mi came quite packed with filling and had a great mix of textures between the lemongrass pork, pickled carrots/daikon, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro. Wish it had more pate and Viet mayo but overall a great option to grab-and-go.

In SFO so it's a quick service environment, I ordered on the mobile order iPad. The sandwich was okay to me. I felt like their bacon and eggs could've been warmer and the flavor wasn't necessarily to my liking but it was a very filling food option if you need that before your flight! Shareable potentially! I got the taro coconut cloud coffee, that was really good and I'd go back just for the coffee! Sandwich: 6/10 Coffee: 10/10

Consistently a letdown at the airport. The Vietnamese coffee is far too sweet; I recommend trying "extra ice, half cold brew" because a 60/40 split with cold brew still wasn't enough to cut it. The chicken banh mi was bland, dry, and overly heavy on carrots - it desperately needs more varied vegetables and less bread. Their pho is barely passable, and only in an emergency. Plus, $19 for a salad is simply outrageous.

This banh mi pretty much falls in line with what I expected from an airport banh mi. I ordered from a self-order kiosk (which I do admire them installing for efficiency), spend 3x the amount of a banh mi, my food arrived quickly, and was huge. So big in fact that I could barely fit it in my mouth. Everything in the sandwich should work. The mayo provides a bit of moisture, the cucumbers are fresh, the carrots are pickled and flavorful, and the 5 spice chicken is surprisingly tender, well seasoned, and juicy, however, the sandwich somehow falls a bit flat. I think it's related to the quality of the bread, the lack of butter, or an absence of jalapeño spice...or all three. I appreciate offerings like these in the airport, but if I weren't familiar with the sandwich, I'm not sure I'd choose this spot as my introduction. I wish them the best of luck though! They're certainly a popular stand!

Was choosing between the two breakfast sandwiches here and went with the Bulgogi sandwich. Order placement and payment can be self-serve through two kiosks on the left side of the store front. The sandwich was pretty good. Sliced in half for ease of eating and photography! Soft bun, good flavor from the pork and kimchi, a bunch of different textures including cucumber and a fried egg with runny yolk. One comment and one minor complaint. This is pork bulgogi - I didn't really mind, but I didn't read the description carefully and assumed beef. Some pieces of pork are on the tougher side and some are quite fatty (not in a good way). A pretty good option for airport breakfast.

Oh I'm so sadly disappointed, the owner is full Vietnamese and it's such a disgrace to represent viet food like this. I ordered the steak rice bowl for 18.99 and this is what I got. How are the other locations surviving? I also got a side of nuoc mam - and it tasted mainly like vinegar. How are the workers not trained to make our traditional dipping sauce right? It's not that hard. Please do better.

Super good food: spring roll and banh mi. The lady who took our order...not so nice. If you visit SF a lot and go to Asian restaurants, you know what type of service to expect. That's kinda what you get here. Good food, SF service...IYKYK.

Excellent Vietnamese option at the SFO airport, Bun Mee is my go to when I fly Alaska out of SFO. Everything tastes fresh and flavorful without being heavily sauced or salted. The pho broth is better than 90% of restaurants specializing in pho with the noodle properly al dente and soup piping hot. The bread of the bun mi has just the right level of bite and all ingredients fresh and well balanced. I've been to the Bun Mee near Union Square, and the airport branch is fairly consistent. Love that I can pretty much compost or recycle everything I bought, more fast food restaurant need to follow suit!

An amazing spot for airport food. I ordered at the kiosk and the food was delivered to me in less than five minutes. The sandwich was loaded with every ingredient and it was all fresh and so tasty! The bread was crispy but not stale. The pork so well flavored. And the boba was perfect and the cold brew very yummy. The paper straw is a bummer since it makes it hard to get the boba once it starts getting soggy, but it is what it is. Great spot!

Decent place for hungry travelers to eat bun mee. Food is mediocre. Not great. The fresh veggies are the highlight of this bun mee.

Great place to pick up a quick bite to eat before a flight. The chicken Bahn mi is very good. The meat was tender and there was a tasty mix of fresh vegetables. The sandwiches were well packaged for the plane and were cut in half. There is also a kiosk for quick and easy ordering.

What we ordered: * Five spice chicken Bahn mi Service * Minimal * Self checkout kiosk and sandwich was handed over in a to go bag Ambience * It's an airport food court so expectations should be set accordingly Overall, it's a pretty solid sandwich but there are so many (likely better) options in the same area.

Cute name and good location. I should give a disclaimer that I stopped here after five days of unhealthy eating since we were in LV for a business trip. Anything that isn't deep fried or covered in cheese is a biiiig step up from what I ate. Down the way from this place there was a chicken salad that could be overpriced but I didn't care, greens and avocado were like a pump in the deep fried desert. I'm from Hawaii, so pho is a major food group of mine. I saw it on the menu here and compared to my week plus everything else in the airport, I needed something warm and refreshing. It was good compared to the other options in the area. Service is a bit confusing though. We ordered from the kiosk because it looked like that's what you're supposed to do, but other people ordered from the counter as well. Overall, I was definitely motivated by feelings and hangryness getting here. Would I eat here again? Yes, if I had a layover like this time. Would I eat it if this was my first terminal and I had snacks in my bag? Probably not, but isn't that all airline food?

I didn't have a lot of time and I had a long travel day ahead of me. I ordered a noodle bowl with the lemongrass pork and a side of their pho broth to sip on. I have to say the bowl was disappointing. The noodles were all one big clump with ingredients dumped on top. The spring roll that came with it was great and I should have just got a full order of those. I wasn't sure if I was suposed to use the sauce from the spring rolls on the noodles but I did to mix it up a bit as well as some sriracha packets. The whole thing was still dry and unincorporated. It was like getting a bowl of pho and not having any broth. I did have broth I ordered on the side, but that wouldn't have come with it otherwise. The broth was delicious, but it was insanely hot. I burnt my tongue so baddly I couldn't taste anything for the next 24 hours. Next time I would skip the noodle bowl all together.

While waiting for my flight at SFO decided to get the hawker bowl with chicken and rolls. Very happy with my choice. The rolls had great flavor and were very crispy. The bowl was perfect. Great mix of flavors with nice brightness from the veggies. I got it half rice and half lettuce. Service was quick and friendly.

I was passing through the San Francisco Airport and was looking for something on the lighter side. I saw this cute little place and decided to give it a try. I ended up ordering the Bacon and Egg Banh Mi for $14.25. When the sandwich arrived it looked great however the bread was stale and extremely crumbly. Also I don't think the warmer for the eggs was on as they were cold. I loved the addition of the Pickled radish and carrots, it gave great crunch and acid and moisture to the bread. From the photo, you can see it only came with two tiny pieces of bacon. As for the service, I had to wait a while as the lady behind the counter was having a conversation with somebody about a customer that came through. When she finished her conversation she turned around and was shocked to find me there. Also they charged me $0.25 for a bag I didn't get, so check your receipt.

I usually avoid airport food at SFO as I know many good late night spots in the area but on this night our kids were hungry and tired coming off a long flight and bun mee rose to the occasion with fast service and a solid pork bahn mi sandwich. The meat and vegetables were fresh, loved the generous helping of carrots on top; there was a little too much bread and it was slightly stale perhaps due to it being nearly 11 pm. It's a safe, above average option and would go back again if in a pinch.

I ordered a noodles bowl with BBQ pork and it came on round rice noodles with Vietnamese style vegetables salad. Fried onion sprinkles were delicious too.. I was satisfied with the quality that this place provided given that it's in the airport. Well prepared

Had a late flight and I've heard great things about this chain in the city however I wish I had saved the money and gotten something else instead. The positive- line moved very quickly and prices were not crazy for airport food. The negative- they just threw everything onto the bread and called it a day, making the bites super uneven. The bread was so hard it made my mouth hurt even hours after eating it. The cashier sounded and acted like she hates being there and couldn't be bothered with questions about the menu. The most disturbing part was the guy calling the names of the meals- he would call people's names and if they didn't show up after calling them a couple times he would just say "f*ck you then" or cuss about them for not coming to grab their meal! I was SHOCKED and so were the people around that area because he would very loudly say it?! I understand it could be frustrating but there's no need for that. It's an airport, people will step away to grab something else at any moment and even then just leave it there until someone grabs it. Uncalled for.

Bun Mee, at SFO airport, is a Vietnamese kitchen and counter (among others in a food court) serving Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches and bowls with fresh ingredients and lemongrass pork. AMBIANCE Food court style dining SERVICE Line up, self order at kiosk or via staff at register, quick kitchen prep, pick up at counter. FOOD 4.5/5 lemongrass pork banh mi: crisp bread, flavorful lemongrass pork, tart pickled carrot and daikon, creamy garlic mayo, fresh jalapeño slices that kick

As we all know airports are expensive but this place in SFO terminal 3 is definitely worth the money. The quality of the food and the portion size in relation to price is great. It's self service ordering but the guy behind the counter prepping everything was really nice. Very clean counters and you can tell they are very organized.

A quick and easy but delicious meal! Kiosk and person ordering options. Went for the ban mi (lemongrass pork) and was thrilled. Crisp vegetables, awesome bread, and succulent pork! Also don't sleep on the egg rolls. Located right by F gates food court with some general seating behind. Definitely faster/more grab n go.

Great place to stop by if looking for a quick and portable meal for your next flight! Ordered a tofu banh mi sandwich which was delicious and this definitely beat out the less than stellar options that were available for purchase during the flight. The self service kiosk was easy to use, the staff were extremely busy and yet were very efficient with getting the food out to everyone who ordered--my wait time was around 5 minutes. Not much to say about the ambiance as this is a stall in the middle of the airport. A solid option for travelers!

Quick and easy self order machine More veggies then chicken Bland and dried five spice chicken Service was quick and friendly. But that couldn't justified the $13 price. Clean restaurant stall in sfo.

Stopped by Bun Mee and tried the Hawker Bowl...really solid choice. The ingredients were fresh, and the bowl had a nice balance of textures and flavors. Loved the mix of protein, rice, and crisp veggies, and the sauce tied everything together well. It wasn't overly bold in flavor, but it had a clean, satisfying taste that worked. Portion size was generous and service was quick and friendly.

Really good rice and noodles bowls! Fast, friendly service, everything was made for us in just a couple minutes. Excellent spot for a hot meal while in the airport. Prices elevated but not too bad for the location. They did a great job with a gluten allergy too. All meats are gf, a rarity.

I got the lemongrass pork banh mi. The French bread was crunchy, nicely toasted, the pork was very well seasoned and tender. All of the condiments were delicious and fresh. I added avocado, it's probably not traditional, but it was delicious. Couldn't help but to get an order of garlic and jalapeño fries, but unfortunately it was disappointing. The fries were not hot and were just ok. Overall, I love this place for a yummy banh mi fix.

I don't often bother writing reviews for places in airports, but Bun Mee surprised me. I got their "Pho-Rench Dip" sandwich, and although a bit expensive, it was really quite good. Very warm and comforting. A nice little something before a long flight. Highly recommend!

Great for an airport meal. I love the banh mi and the rice bowls but im sure everything is good here. Service is really quick for when you need to run. There's a bit of seating too if you want a place to rest.

They inadvertently added a fried egg and gave me steamed rice instead of fried, but the rice bowl with pork was tasty.

I had a quick 1 hour layover here, so I quickly looked for food near my gate. The choices were stylized and cute but not local or authentic. This place did look alright based on the pictures and food on display, so I took the bait! The bun was crispy, which tasted good! The meat was well proportioned inside, so that was a major plus. However, the flavors were not accurate nor authentic. It was very expensive for this one sandwich. It was a good option for traveling (I don't like eating heavy when traveling) but not the most exciting food.

A quick grab and to go place at the airport. All I have to say, I saw small cockroaches crawling around the utensils. The workers just tried to wipe the cockroaches off the counter instead of tossing away the tin can of utensils. The was at the JetBlue area, terminal 1.

Got the Hawker rice bowl with garlic rice and pork. It also comes with pickled veggies like in a banh mi. It was delicious! The fried egg with the runny yolk was perfect. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because the rice was a little bit wet like the garlic sauce wasn't fully cooked in so I had a couple of wet clumpy spots where the rice was mushy and over-garlicky. Still delicious and better than most Asian fare as the city I live in sucks for good food let alone good Asian food. I wish this chain was in my city. I would go there on the daily. Customer service was meh but to be expected as it's in an airport and they're just cranking the food out. And the seating area is clean if you can find a table as it was crowded. But what do you want? It's an airport but SFO probably had some of the better eateries for an airport.

Foods decent for airport food. The fries were far too fried it was literally rock hard.

Solid airport spot for a quick bite that isn't super greasy. They've got some good options for bowls and sandwiches as well as drinks and a few mochi treats. I got the rice bowl with lemongrass pork, a Vietnamese coffee, and a guava cheesecake mochi donut. Everything was pretty good for airport food and very filling. The airport wasn't busy but they prepared everything rather quickly. The veggies seemed fresh which is very important.

Overpriced, tasteless, poor service. I get it, you're at the airport about to catch a flight and see a banh mi spot and you think, what a great easy-to-carry easy-to-eat sandwich for your journey. But for $15 and it's not even good? Disappointment ensues. I had the Lemongrass Pork Banh Mi, Combo Banh Mi, and Taro Boba. Nothing was good. Save your money and calories and go elsewhere.

Overall satisfied with my visit. You order at the counter and sit somewhere in the food court. The ordering process was a little confusing - I stood at the counter for a while being ignored before a staff member finally told me I had to order on the little screen. I saw other people who placed orders orally so not sure why I couldn't do that but NBD, self service is fine with me. It just would be nice if it was a little clearer that that's what's expected. I ordered the tofu banh mi and it was decent. The tofu itself was marinated and flavorful. It was sliced pretty thick though which made the sandwich a little difficult to eat. As far as veggies it was mostly shredded carrot and cilantro. I would have preferred more of a mix. The bread itself was perfect - nice and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. As far as value for what you pay, I think this is a decent option at SFO. It's a little overpriced but so is literally everything, and you get a pretty flavorful and satisfying meal.

The review is just for the beverage. My daughter was just not in the mood for caffeine, so she asked milk tea with boba, the staff said they can make it. As soon as my daughter took a sip, she said this is the worst milk tea she had ever had. I tried it too. Very bad.... And it was pack with2/3 of a cup with ice for total bill 6.00 dollar........ and there is barely any boba under the ice..........

I love Bun Mee, had the chance to try this spot in San Francisco downtown last time I was here and saw this at the SFO airport right before I boarded my flight. Note the sfo airport location menu is definitely more money $$ than in downtown city locations! But what can we do, food airport prices suck! It was at 6am in the morning and I was so relieved that they had warm bone broth soup! I was not in the mood for any egg sandwiches, so I ordered the bone broth plain, chicken Pho and a green tea matcha. The broth was still piping hot as I got to enjoy this on my flight. And the chicken pho, yummy!!! This is what I call a healthy breakfast! Service was quick and lines were manageable. This is my fav spot at SFO!

Bun Mee still remains one my go to airport food spot, although I've found it a bit more inconsistent over repeat visits. I tried a bowl with lemongrass pork and wasn't a fan, meat was a bit dry, now I always stick to chicken. Unfortunately, the banh mi with five spice chicken was also a dud, the bread tasted stale and the chicken imo didn't work super well in the sandwich. I've also found the quality of the chicken can be hit or miss, sometimes it's not as tender as my initial visit. But, the saving grace is that the sweet potatoes fries here are excellent (one of my favorite sweet potato fries in the Bay Area). I'm pretty sure they always fry it to order because it always takes a while and is piping hot when I get it.

Solid sandos at SFO! Bun Mee offers Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, bowls, and more. He got the Lemongrass Pork sandwich. I got the Lemongrass Tofu. Both come with garlic mayo, shaved onion, carrots, daikon, jalapenos, and herbs. And both were delicious! The sandos are made to order and can be customized. Service was fast and efficient. Bread and veggies were fresh. For airport pricing, we thought this was a good value. These sandwiches were generous in size and packed with flavor! We'll definitely order from Bun Mee again.

Got the lemongrass pork banh mi before I ran off to catch my plane. Nice crispy baguette and a very flavorful pork. It's dark brown and actually looks like it might be beef, it must be the lemongrass sauce coating it. The carrots and daikon were nicely pickled, not raw, and were a nice contrast to the richness of the lemongrass pork. I've often been so so on banh mi and I quite enjoyed this one, without the cucumber. Relatively quick turnaround on lunch orders.

Bun Mee (previously fillmore) in the airport? It's such a gourmet and a luxury. It's expensive alright but: the bun mee combo (good pork) with egg and avocado add on, and the five spice chicken sandwich, also tiger strip boba, vietnamese coffee, there's a cheese foam lychee drink that looks fantastic ($7+ drinks). Yes again not cheap but so satisfying. The chicken pho soup bowl (in a cup and be taken togo), makes you feel warm and happy after rushing to the airport and going through checkpoints. Or upon a slightly late arrival. We picked up something at 9pm last night it was awesome.

I have ordered food to go at Bun Mee, more than once. I have even gotten a banh mi sandwich after landing, to take home -- that is more a testament to quality, since I could have foraged for various options once on the ground. My wife has partaken as well. Everything is good, prepared quickly, and priced reasonably considering it is where it is (and airport food is invariably marked up). I have just one comment. It is not a criticism. Quite the opposite. It is a compliment. But it also is a caveat. I hate food waste; it is a moral wrong. So the thing to bear in mind is the portion size is generous. You will have leftovers (I am 5-9, 175 pounds claimed, though sometimes verging on 185 pounds, and my primary care physician says I need to lose 30 pounds -- point is, I have a healthy appetite, and I cannot finish the meal). If you are a party of two, one sandwich split between you, plus a bag of chips, will suffice. Or if you are a singleton, save the other half for when you are peckish in the air. I would say Bun Mee is among the best options in the terminal.
