TY Sandwiches

I have been here a couple times, usually when I’m in the area and when I am craving for a banh mi. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and understanding. Cool little spot for a quick bite, they offer authentic Vietnamese sandwiches (Banh mi), Vietnamese snacks, garlic noodle plates, boba, etc. Everything is made to order which is a plus and I don’t mind the wait since I am a very patient person. Most of the times I buy to go, when I get home the food is still warm and fresh. I recommend this place for anyone on a limited time or if you are just craving for a good banh mi. I definitely will be back to try out other delicious options they have to offer.

Sandwiches are a good value at $10. Everything from the tofy to the cha lua (fancy pork aka pork roll) was good - nothing special but great for the low price. Portions are a happy medium.

Small banh mi and boba shop that gets a bunch of traffic during the weekday lunch hour, especially from the nearby high school students. A coworker and I dropped by on a weekday around 12:45pm to grab banh mis and drinks. We managed to get in line before a wave of students joined but ended up waiting around 15 minutes for our order. The shop seemed to be run by two people, one person fully in the back, the other person jumping between taking orders and order prep. Alongside preparing in-person orders, they were also preparing online pre-orders, hence the wait. I ordered the fresh spring rolls with lemongrass tofu, 3 for $8. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan. They use some sort of ginger flavoring with the tofu, and it was too strong for my taste. I ended up smothering the spring rolls in the peanut sauce to aid in my consumption. My coworkers enjoyed their orders though. Card allowed!

Ordered the Lemongrass Tofu Banh Mi and it was seriously delicious. In comparison to other sandwich places, the tofu had a sweeter marinade. Highly recommend that you eat it right after you receive it!! The bread was also nice and toasty. Also got the mango green iced tea which was not too sweet which I liked.

This opinion is only based on the boba. I came here by coincidence and ended up getting a kiwi ice tea with boba and one Vietnamese coffee. The kiwi ice tea had a weird taste, i couldn't really enjoy the kiwi, but the boba was good and chewy when I ate it. The coffee was good and strong. Overall the place is small and clean and have different options, the service is ok. I hope i can come back and try some of the sandwiches.

Absolute gem. Come here twice now while our usual spot has been closed and even though it’s further away for us it’s been worth it. Friendly folks, great food, great pricing.

Overall good sandwich, what hit the home run is the banh mi(bread) itself. Nice and crusty. Also a lil buttery. Never had that before for a 'banh mi' sandwich. Been eating banh mi since I was a kid (I'm Vietnamese). Prices are much higher than in San Jose, then again it's SF. Pate is light and bland, aside from that, good sandwich.

Amazing bahn mis. I love the food here, I just wish they stuck to the posted hours. I live nearby and will often try to go after work and they will be closed an hour or two before Google says they should be.

One of my fave viet coffees! Not too strong and not super sweet. Love it! The pork and the chicken bahn mi is pretty solid too if you ever want to try it! Services is always fast and they are always very sweet. It is small so you can linger around inside and wait or wait outside. Parking can suck but thats all of Mission st.

I was looking for a quick lunch as I was buzzing through San Francisco, and happened upon Ty Sandwich. This is definitely going down as one of the less favorable lunches I've had in San Francisco. I ordered a Thai iced tea, and this has to be one of the worst Thai teas I've ever had. It lacked everything. It did not taste like Thai tea, I can't even begin to figure out what it was, but it was not worth paying for let alone drinking. The grilled pork banh mi was calling my name. I really wish that it hadn't. Allegedly they make their sandwiches traditionally, but I could not taste the pate. The bread was lightly toasted so it had that nice crunch and that was the best part of the sandwich. Grilled pork was nicely seasoned, but it was super chewy and tough, which made it difficult to even attempt to enjoy the sandwich. The people that work there were nice, but the food not so much.

The pork sandwich is very good: the french roll is slightly crispy on the outside and light n fluffy n warm on the inside. Packed with BBQ pork, minced carrots, cilantro and a couple sliced jalapeno's make this sandwich disappear quickly. $10.80 with tax. Tip: two light eaters can share this. Decor: homey, only to go. No place to sit. Customer service: fine.

One of my favorite Viet sandwich places! I've been coming here since college and the food quality is always consistent, bread is nice and crunchy, and the service is great. This is just a hole in the wall restaurant so there isn't really much seating, but easy to just grab the food and go! My favorites are the combo, grilled pork, and lemongrass beef. I've ordered shrimp spring rolls a few times and I would probably skip it, I've had better. I've ordered a drink once or twice before and I remember it being decent as well!

I used to love this place especially when they first opened. I was happy as their business got bigger (opening a pho place next door). But after years of not being able to come, I got surprised how everything had changed. Unfortunately, their Pho place had closed. But more importantly the quality of both the food and the service is gone. I'm not sure if ownership had changed. There was NO SMILE at all from the lady in counter. Not even a hello. Just take your order, pay and wait. Sandwiches were also not as good as I remember them. Too bad.

The combination banh mi was generously filled but the bread was small (short to be more honest). The pickled carrots were very bland as well. I also got the shrimp and pork spring rolls. The sauce was weirdly tangy, almost to the point where it tasted like it went bad. Got me all paranoid I was going to get food poisoning but didn't. Would not recommend. While Ty sandwich is a bit cheaper than banh mi and rolls, the quality at Banh mi and rolls is much better.

I used to live around the corner 10 years ago and I was so psyched to have a bahn mi spot nearby. The bahn mi can be a little dry but I would just ask for extra sauce. Combo is the most solid choice. The spring rolls are very plain and the sauce doesnt have a strong enough peanut flavor. This a family owned business and everyone is very nice and they work quick. I ñ've ordered 30 sandwiches and they were packed and ready when i arrived. There's no space to sit so it's only grab and go.

Ty Sandwich is a casual shop serving delicious banh mi for about $10 a pop. I tried the grilled pork and combination sandwiches. Both were solid. Parking isn't easy. I witnessed a lot of double parking. Definitely call your order ahead in advance for efficiency.

Got the lemongrass tofu. Bun was crispy and toasted. Loved the portion of carrots and tofu. It was a tiny salty for me but I'm sure it was the right amount for everyone else. It's a big and juicy sandwich.

I've been here twice so far. I really enjoyed the fresh bread and quality meat. The service was quick and perky. It doesn't really have a place to sit. I'm definitely putting this on my list when I'm in this part of time, probably getting my car fixed.

This spot has been my go-to for banh mi in the neighborhood for over a decade! Unfortunately, like everywhere else, the prices have gone up over the years. The shop is very small, with just a counter for ordering and a few high chairs by the window for seating. The service is straightforward, not much to say about it. I usually call in for my orders and it'll be ready within 10 mins. My usual order is the combination sandwich with extra jalapenos. The sandwich is packed with meat and veggies, with the mayo and pate perfectly balanced, and the bread toasted to perfection. I'm also a huge fan of their vietnamese iced coffee! I believe they use the Trung Nguyen brand, which is my absolute favorite. Not many places use it since it's harder to source, but it makes all the difference!

Stopped by randomly for a quick bite. I would normally not bother trying this place since it's so close to Farolito but I had just eaten a burrito yesterday, and I wanted something different. I'm so glad I tried. This unassuming place has one of the best Vietnamese sandwiches I've ever tasted in this city. For those who try, it's take out only. That would be my only complaint

Friendly service with good food. This hole in the wall is a place to try. No seating inside it's a take and go kind of place.

They really pack the sandwiches with meat, which is greatly appreciated. The Vietnamese coffee is great. The boba would've been nicer if it had more flavor. Service was fast. The restaurant is cute and well-kept.

Was craving a bánh mi but did not want to make my way to larkin st to my usual go to spot. Came across this gem of a place and ordered their chicken báhn mi and their spring rolls. Absolutely delicious! Super close to home, fair portions and hits the spot! Will be back

Date: Saturday, October 21st, 2023 Meal: Late Lunch / Early Dinner (Linner) Takeout Time Ordered: around 2:45pm Time Ready: about 15-ish mins later Food for a Party of: 5 3. Combination Sandwich ($9.99) x2 4. Lemongrass Chicken ($9.99), Extra Pate ($1.50) 6. Grilled Pork ($9.99), Extra Pate ($1.50) 10. Imperial Roll ($8) *Shrimp Spring Roll with pork ($8) x2 *Vietnamese Ice Coffee ($7) x2 *Bag ($0.25) I just realized after looking at my receipt, four sandwiches, three apps, and two drinks, with tax and tip, ended up being over $100. Oh inflation! Anyways, let's move on to my review... I got the grilled chicken with extra pate. The sandwich was pretty good. The pate nice and creamy. The veggies had a good crunch and pickle. The filling a good amount of chicken. I don't believe I tried any of the rolls, so cannot comment on that. The drinks looked standard. Not my cup of tea, (Or should I say coffee?) I like all my drinks pretty plain. Meaning no milk or sugar. Solid spot for banh mi, tho a little pricey.

This has been my go-to spot of late when I'm in the mood for a banh mi. I usually order the #3 combo. Bread is toasty and there's plenty of meat. Really enjoyed the pickled veggies which includes pickles which gives it a zing. Parking is not great but it's a quick grab and go, especially if you order ahead. A bit pricier for a viet sandwich but it's good portions.

Im sure we all had so many Vietnamese sandwiches over the years, many good& many dry! This is why TY is one of the better ones, their sandwiches come with yummy lemon grass flavor( mayo ??? But not 100% sure). The bread is soft/ flaky.I only eat the sandwiches here, I don't like their other foods/drinks. But maybe you will. No dine in either FYI. Give them a try. 5/5 Food 3/5 Service 1/5 Ambiance

Delicious banh mi in my neighborhood! The lemongrass pork banh mi is mine and my husband's favorite. He also likes the combo banh mi. It gets busy around lunch time so try to come before 12 if you don't want to wait too long, or order in advance for pick-up!

Wow I haven't had such a good banh mi in a LONG time. Perfectly warm and crispy. Affordable and generous with the portions. Owned by locals. Highly recommend!

Early morning and near the area. So we decided on some viet sandwiches. We ordered: combo - pretty hefty filling and pate! solid grilled pork - also hefty and tasty, a tiny bit fatty but well marinated. imperial rolls- SKIP it! tasted a little weird and the skin was chewy. they should cut a hole to let some steam out. spring rolls - good, sauce was okaayy. not badd but I could have made it better. 10% off if you check in on yelp! overall would come back for just sandwiches!

Overall a pretty tasty sandwich. The meat was well seasoned and super flavorful. I also had the combo which they were very generous on the pate portions. My only complaint is that the pickled carrots weren't "pickly" enough and didn't have daikon like typical banh mi's do. But overall can't go wrong!

It was quick and easy it's clean I walked in. Service was friendly. I can't wait to come back. It's within walking distance from Bart and muni. I enjoyed the space and not too big not too small. I liked all the options. The chicken sandwich was great. jalapeño spicy. I also got chips check in on Yelp and you get 10% off. I highly recommend and would come back. Thank you.

Ordered veggie banh mi and spring rolls. Loved them both. Really nice people who. Delicious food and they accept credit credits. Vegetarian/vegan options.

Service Combination sandwich Meatballs sandwich You're not going to beat the price for a better banh mi in the city

Delicious bahn mi with generous filling portion of meat. Would definitely recommend the #6 Grilled Pork! It is slightly sweet marinated pork with crunchy shredded carrot, jalapeño, veggies on a toasted soft bun. Staff was friendly and while it was busy for the evening with others ordering food and boba, my order took about 7 minutes to make and was quickly ready and hot/fresh when handed to me. I'll definitely be back to try other sandwiches!

Very good sandwiches made here ... small selections but everything is delicious, friendly staffs , quick service when you ordered for to go n pickup

One of the more affordable Banh Mi places in the neighborhood. It is a little difficult to find parking in this area though, but otherwise their sandwiches have a great portion size you definitely get your money's worth. We usually get the combo cold cut and it's absolutely packed to the brim. Every bite was absolutely delicious, I specifically real enjoy the pate taste.

This is becoming my favorite spot in the city for banh mi. It is relatively inexpensive compared to a lot of places and is actually delicious. The fancy pork with pate was on point because the creaminess of the pate balanced so well with the pickled carrots and the bread. The pate might not be for everybody but once you grow on it, it's very tasty!

Best Banh Mi I've had in SF. I am use to the quality of Wesminister (Little Saigon) banh mis and this place doesn't miss. I ordered the lemon grass beef banh mi and it was absolutely delicious. The aromas had me salivating. Biting into the flavors are prominent with the perfect texture of sinking your teeth in with a crunch of fermented veggies and jalapeños. Before I knew it the sandwich was gone and I was craving a second. Will visit again when I'm in the area...and probably get 2 sandwiches

This small business is located along Mission and Onondaga Ave near the Post Office. Super accessible by bus and local to many of the residents nearby. Service is quick and easy, and there's even an ordering system directly on Yelp which is how I usually order my stuff. The inside of the shop is cozy--no seating area so everything is for pickup/to go only. I've had the banh mi sandwiches on a few occasions, and they are absolutely delicious. Although I've tried the different flavors of banh mi, I'd say my favorite one is the lemongrass beef one. The beef is so tender and full of flavor, and the picked vegetables, cilantro, and sauce complement the beef well. The bread is also crispy and fresh. As for the boba drinks, they're good, but not my first choice of place to get drinks. I got the lychee milk tea and mango milk tea one time, but they tasted almost identical. I couldn't tell the difference. I'd be willing to give the drinks another chance because the photos do look good, but I'd get a different flavor instead. To be fair, their main specialty is the sandwiches, and this place definitely hits the mark with them.

I got another combo with extra pate and butter ugh 10/10 must try every time I'm visiting the bay!!!

Ordered on Ubereats! First of all, I love that they stuff the bread with lots of meat and veggies so you don't feel like they're holding back. Definitely on the pricier side, I paid $11 for a combo with pate and same for the pork banh mi! The bread wasn't hard and was crispy but definitely cut up the roof of my mouth. I wish it was a tad bit softer. All in all, filled my banh mi craving!

Love this place. I eat here all the time. Great food and friendly staff. Small whole in the wall with Food to go only, pretty much. But I guess you can stand and eat at the window shelf. But if you want the best bahn mi in excelsior. This is your spot

I ordered 12 banh mi for a party from Ty Sandwich and they made it super easy to make an order and was very accommodating. I called them 2-3 days before and asked if they can cut up the sandwiches in half and put in the tray for me, like catering style! Everyone at the party loved the sandwiches and were asking where I got it from. If I ever need to order banh mi for catering again or just want banh mi in general, I'll definitely come back here! No photo unfortunately because people devoured them before I got a chance to take picture.

Tried them for the first time today. Got tofu and five spice chicken banh mi and they were perfect. Their Vietnamese coffee is so delicious. The lady was sweet and welcoming. Will be going there regularly.

The best Vietnamese coffee in San Francisco has been hiding in plain sight! I love that they don't charge extra for boba and it's always nice to be recognized by the business owner! I got the whole office hooked :)

I'm glad that Ty is still up and running because I know where to go for the nostalgia when craving a banh mi or spring rolls. I used to get my sandwiches from here religiously when I lived close by because the staff were always so patient, warm and welcoming. At the time, it wasn't a sit down spot and I don't know if it is now, but I'd still choose this place because there's something comforting about the interior. Overall, good food, good drinks, great staff and I'd recommend to anyone looking to get a good meal.

Loved the combo sandwich. Been coming here for a while's. But noticed recently they started adding these meat jelly pieces in the combination sandwich. It's like these big chunky jelly like pieces in the sandwich that i didn't like... has anyone else noticed it? These parts in the sandwich weren't there before..: i want to know what it's called so i can ask not to have it

I wish they had more vegetarian options, but their lemongrass tofu Bahn Mi sandwich is pretty good so it evens out. Plus, they have some very tasty boba drinks, so I recommend also getting one of those! Also, it looks like there used to be dine-in tables inside, but not anymore. I have only visited post-Covid and now they operate a takeout-only operation. So go take a nice long walk to drop off your mail at the Odondaga Post Office, grab a delicious Ty sandy, and head to the park to enjoy the day!

Best Vietnamese sandwiches in the Excelsior district! Friendly and fast! Easy take out! Parking can be a challenge but that's anywhere! Favorite is the lemongrass chicken! Love having them so close by! Cute little shop! Wait inside while you sip on some tea!

This place has false advertising for their hours. They do not close at 7pm. Today I placed a doordash order at 6:15pm, and it was stuck in queue for over 15 minutes. There was also no one answering the phone. That means they closed early and didnt follow posted orders

I ordered their grilled pork banh mi and it was tasty! There was tons of meat in it and enjoyed the texture of the bread. It's a small restaurant, but definitely a good spot in the area if you're craving banh mi sandwiches. Service was a bit slow, but I believe they were understaffed the day I went.

I love finding new banh mi shops, and I'm super excited for TY sandwich bc it's in my hood! Cheap delicious eats for under $10 are my favorite. Lemongrass tofu sandwich. Something about lemongrass tofu that gives it a much more filling taste than just plain or seasoned tofu. The lemongrass adds depth and aroma. With each bite, the combination of lemongrass, fresh cilantro, pickled carrots, fresh baguette, and soy sauce is just the best thing to smell. Vietnamese people know what they're doing. Bread is great quality, but soft, if you prefer crispier bread I'm sure you can request them to toast it a bit longer. $7 and they accept card. Love it. They also have a few other food items, such as spring rolls, and a full boba menu. It's a whole meal for $20!! Great spot in the neighborhood and ate here twice in 1 week. Yup, that good :P

Love the banh mi here! Fast, quick, and delicious. Banh mi did not hurt the roof of your mouth but still crunchy and soft on the inside. Pate was plenty. Meat was tender (both chicken and combo). Would come again but it is pricier than other spots.

This sandwich shop is very small but the staff is very nice and friendly, the food is very good as well. I love there spring rolls and there sandwiches there's so much flavor. This was the 1st time we went to this shop we seen something about it online and so we had to try it out when we were in SF for me for my drs appt . It's well worth trying out even though you have to eat your food in your car or somewhere else. And they get fresh bread delivered daily when there open. I would recommend this shop if you're in the area it's so worth it. We will definitely be coming back again

My family has been getting bahn mi from Ty's for years. This past weekend I placed an order for 30 bahn mi to feed a large group for a work event. We ordered pork, chicken and tofu. The sandwiches were excellent with plenty of meat and other fillings. Bread was very tasty. Had a leftover sandwich two days later and it was still awesome. The staff are very friendly and easy to work with. All the people we fed were happy with the bahn mi and since most were from out of town, it was nice to show off a local SF eatery. Ty Sandwich is a great place for bahn mi in the City!

I ordered a grilled lemongrass chicken banh mi. It was very flavorful and delicious. I was expecting to have liverwurst in my sandwich, but there wasn't any. I was thinking maybe because it's chicken. Nonetheless, I loved the sandwich bread roll was warm, the chicken was tasty and had nice large pieces and it had some good pickled veggies:
