“ Their banh mi special is the best banh mi I've had in San Diego. Their pate is really something else! Service was so sweet and thoughtful. Ambiance is casual but colorful and interesting. Parking is easy but maps will take you to the wrong side of the building. Just circle around back and you'll find it! ”

“ Best chicken Banh mi ever!! My finance and I took a short trip to San Diego and stumbled across this place! The food was toe curling, eye rollingly good. ”

“ **Note this review is focused only on food, as I got take-out only** A great Vietnamese restaurant with a nice variety of dishes and a few inventive ones with a Viet spin. Solid representation of Viet cuisine. Highlight for me was the pho banh mi, the dipping broth gives you the best of both worlds for a quick bite and something hearty. The broth is legit Pho Broth and delicious. Dipped with the banh mi, it makes for a very nice combination of umami and convenience. I also grabbed the dirty fries, which is kind of like the Viet version of carne asada fries topped with a fried egg. The meats are marinated in viet flavors and make for a nice complement to the fries. Overall recommended for a good respresentation of viet cuisine with a little bit of inventiveness! ”

“ First time trying this restaurant. I saw an instagram reel recommending this place for banh mi and stopped by since I was already in the area. I walked in to a friendly greeting and good service. I like that there's both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a nice size restaurant with a cozy modern feel. There's also a good variety on the menu. I ordered a Grilled Pork Banh mi with extra veggies. I'm not used to being charged for extra veggies but I'm glad I got them. Banh mi was delicious and each bite had really good flavor with the aioli, grilled pork, sautéed onions and those veggies gave it a nice fresh flavor balance. Tip- parking is in the back and restaurant is on the front side of Rosecrans. ”

“ PHO-nomenal! I've been on a bit of a Pho run lately as I've been craving pho as we've hit the winter months. I was in the area after a workout today and decided to try out Banh Mi Hoi An. I've driven by tons of times but finally made it past the parking lot. Banh Mi Hoi An is quite the hidden gem in Point Loma off of Rosecranz. Parking was easy and the space is perfect for quick dining in or take out. I opted for the Filet Mignon pho and the classic grilled Banh mi. Delicious. Pho was served piping hot with all the fixings and the banh mi crust was chef's kiss!! Perfectly crusty and literally the best I've had in San Diego. Large portions and even better pricing. Bring your appetite because this one is a winner! Thanks Banh Mi Hoi An, I'll be back! ”

“ Oh this place is GOOD! I got the braised pork belly (thit kho) - it came with an egg. The flavor was strong and so tasty. The meat was cut small but there was enough and I didn't feel cheated. I loved how it also came with the pickled veggies on the side :) they focus on grill items which is cool so it's more intentional. Service was quick and friendly. The place is small and clean. Some cute plants inside to add some charm. I'd for sure come back! ”

“ When we randomly selected this restaurant on a whim, I never expected that it would become one of the most delicious eats of our trip. Banh Mi Hoi An is a gem. I got the GRILLED PORK BANH MI ($8.95) and savored every single bite. The pork was super tender and nicely marinated, being slightly sweet with underlying notes of lemongrass. The edges of the meat also had a light char from the grill which added extra flavor. In addition to the cucumber, I loved the crunch from the pickled daikon and carrot, which had the perfect subtle tang, alongside the heat from the jalapeño. A drizzle of creamy mayo quelled the spice and was the perfect final touch. The bread was terrific as well, being soft and light inside, with a slight crunch on the outside. The banh mi was so good that we stopped by again to pick up an early lunch before heading to the airport on our last day. The gentleman at the front who took our order was friendly and we could tell that our sandwiches were crafted and wrapped up with care. This is proof that sometimes an unassuming spot can turn out to be the most pleasant surprise. Very reasonable pricing too! ”

“ If you're looking for authentic delicious Vietnamese food...this is your spot! I am from the Bay Area where there is a plethora of good Vietnamese food. I've been on the hunt to find a great spot here in SD and I strongly believe this is the one. All of our food came out piping hot and all the flavor was there. I ordered the crispy tofu banh mi ($8.95), my husband got the grilled chicken banh mi ($8.95) and my toddler had a small beef bowl of pho which contained thin slices of beef, rice noodles and vegetables ($13.47). Plus two yummy cups of jasmine tea ($2.70 each). The broth surprised us the most because of how tasty it was. I met with the owner who is also a cook here, he told me the broth is marinated with beef bone for more than twenty hours. I absolutely loved how much flavor is packed into each dish. My tofu was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside, soft and delicate on the inside. Even my picky toddler approves this restaurant. The total of our meal came out to $40. Which is soo affordable compared to other restaurant prices in San Diego. The staff was very attentive and kind. There is seating inside and outside. I think the seating area inside could use some remodeling and updating, but other than that -- this is a spot is perfect. ”

“ Solid Vietnamese restaurant that hasany other items beyond banh mi. The ambiance was casual, nothing special, but it's nice to have plenty of parking around the back. Our server was VERY young (maybe family business...) - she was friendly and helpful. Pork and shrimp spring rolls were tasty, along with the peanut sauce. I opted for the pork belly banh mi and it was decent, but I think maybe the grilled pork would have been even better. The pork belly was okay but not super flavorful and not as fatty / tender as I would have hoped. The rest of the sandwich complimented the meat well though. ”

“ Somewhat lackluster service but solid Vietnamese basics and excellent bang for the buck at this unassuming spot! Pho Bo (beef bone broth simmered for 18+ hours served with sliced filet mignon), Noodle with Lemongrass Beef (served with pickled vegetables, bean sprouts, fish sauce, chopped lettuce, mint, & cilantro and garnished with green onion and crushed peanut), and Grilled Pork Sandwich (marinated with lemongrass and garlic) all had good depth of flavor and were generously portioned. ”
