Vietnam Restaurant, San Francisco

This restaurant is located on Broadway, just east of Stockton. We were staying near Union Square on a recent trip to San Francisco, and walked through Chinatown midmorning en route to Yuet Lee, an old favorite restaruant. But low and behold, it didn't open until 11:30 and we were there almost an hour before that, too hungry to really wait that long before we had some breakfast. After a quick tour through Yelp on what our newaby options were, we came upon this little Vietnames restaurant. We have been marveling at the new found quality of the Banh Mi sandwiches at a local restaurant at home, and decided that we should try them here. Oh my goodness. Absolutely delcious. It kind of ruined the ones we could get locally for awhile, these were so much better. But the best part was that the two women assembling our sandwiches were fantastic. Two people came in to order while we were waiting, and as they were going through the exact ingredients they wanted in their banh mi, the women weighed in--no, you do not want to skip the pate, that is critical, yes you want cilantro, and so on. We got the sandwich they would prefer to eat, and nothing else. Which was pretty great. We ate sitting on a nearby park bench, watching the Bay to Breakers pariticpants run by, and decided that perhaps we need to spend a month in San Francisco once we retire.
