Wow!

The lovely human at the front desk was such a pleasure to deal with. She explained everything so well. We ordered the cheerful and the simple delight. The roll was still warm it was so fresh! Go here! The donut place next door is incredible and does the best iced coffee.

Best Banh Mi

Located in the same shop as the famed vegan donuts, Aina offers a wonderful and affordable (in this day and age) $10 banh mi that is fully vegan, and they have a lot of options to select from as well.

I ordered their Ocean Sub - reminiscent of a tuna sub in a toasty baguette with all of the traditional tasting fillings you'd expect from a banh mi. It was immediately love at first bite. The sandwich was excellent especially since I haven't had "tuna" in years, and really reminded me of my childhood. I ate it so quickly that I wish I had ordered another sandwich before leaving and heading back to Santa Cruz where I live.

It's so good that you won't even remember that it's fully plant-based. Aina's banh mi really are the ish and I can't recommend them enough for anybody wishing to explore more plant based options in the South Bay.

Don't forget to order a donut next stall over for dessert.

Awesome Banh mi

I love me a good vegan banh mi sandwich and this hits the spot. The owner is very polite and patient. I went for the simple delight option and it was really very good. The food seemed fresh, flavorful and was very reasonably priced. What more can you ask for. I had the lychee zero calorie drink to accompany my sandwich and it was really very good too. Overall, it was a great meal. I will be going back here.

Pros: Good food, Price is right, Great staff

One of the Best

Really reqlly really good. Bread is so good. Crust is thin and crispy, crumb is soft with a light chew. Mock-meats made in house. Thai basil, which is always awesome. And the price?! Aina Saya she just wants good vegan food to be accessible to people. What a hero.

Ordered the combo BBQ sandwiches and the spring rolls.

All very flavorful and freshly made. Good prices and portion sizes

Aina (owner) was very kind and helpful with explaining the menu and making friendly conversation.

Shares a venue with Vegan Donut shop. Nice relaxing atmosphere to sit down and eat

10/10 would recommend and come back for more ☺️

Pros: Flavors, Prices and portions, Atmosphere

Delicious!!!

Great food for great value! The banh mis were very impressive and reminded me so much of banh mi that I grew up eating. The owner was also very friendly and allowed me to try both sandwiches (half and half). I loved both! Even if you're not vegan, these were really solid Viet sandwiches!

Pros: Excellent food, Great value, Good portions

Delicious!!!!!

Got both of their types of sandwiches. Ridiculously delicious! Found this place when visiting the vegan donut place that it's inside. Owner was super nice and welcoming trying to share her passion through vegan food! Definitely coming back when in the area!
