Crema's Take

This San Francisco spot has earned serious devotion for crafting some of the city's most craveable banh mi, with reviewers consistently praising the fresh, crusty bread and perfectly balanced fillings—the BBQ pork and combination sandwiches are standouts that have converted longtime banh mi hunters into loyal regulars. Whether you're rolling through the drive-thru for a quick grab or settling in for a slow sit, you'll find the operation remarkably clean and efficient, with generous portions of quality meat and thoughtful mayo ratios that elevate even a simple sandwich into something memorable.

Amazing Banh Mi, by far the best I've had in town, will most definitely be returning. The bread is fresh and delicious and so are the veggies. I went with the BBQ beef as was recommended to me and I am very glad I did. They are very generous with the beef portion! There is no where to sit, it's just a to-go place, and the prices are very reasonable about 12 bucks per sandwich. Food comes out fast, maybe waited like 5-10 minutes for two sandwiches.

Ordered at a take out window and picked up about 10 minutes later. Pretty standard prices and bread. Pieces of combo ham were thick. I’d come back if I were in the area.

This was my first visit here. Looked and smelled so good I forgot to take a picture before we started eating LOL I was going back and forth between getting this place or Saigon Sandwich (which I have nostalgia for) and man I’m glad I chose this place (no diss to Saigon Sandwich that’s just my OG cheap eats spot). I feel like this Banh Mi was more “American style” in the way that it was packed with meat vs a lot of cheaper banh mi where it’ll be like a strip of meat. The place is a walk up there is no seating so I ordered (2) banh mi - one bbq pork, one chicken, (2) iced coffee, and an order of imperial rolls to go. When I picked up my order I picked up the bag that thing was heavy, we drove around the park and found parking by the beach and ate. It was really good would definitely recommend. On top of the food just being good and the banh mi being packed with meat and having really good flavor, the roll was off the hook. Flaky on the outside, yet chewy, hearty to hold the goods, but still super soft **chefs kiss** Thank you will definitely be back.

I accidentally saw cars coming here and buying fast food. I bought breaded shrimp. Incredibly delicious! Hot! Fast! Very neat and clean. I recommend.

Really enjoyed the bbq pork and combination sandwiches. After trying 5 banh mi restaurants in SF this is my favorite and will definitely return. The meat was tender, mayo portion was on point, and the pickled veggies were nicely tangy.
