Verdict: Our expert take on Que Huong
Food (6.7 out of 10)
mentioned by 92% of the guests
It seems the food here offers a bit of a mixed bag, with a 6.7 score indicating its generally good, though customer satisfaction sits at a more mixed 62.2%. Many diners rave about the delicious banh mi, often highlighting the fresh veggies, savory deli meat, and perfectly crusty bread. With 61 positive remarks among 98 total comments, theres definitely a lot to love, especially the variety of banh mi options.
However, not every bite is a winner. Some experiences mention disappointing Vietnamese sandwiches with fatty pork, bland taste, or surprisingly small portions. Concerns also arose about the lack of traditional elements like pate, mayo, or a good mix of pickled veggies, contributing to 27 negative comments.

- banh miMy experience at this restaurant was fantastic. I believe this is the best banh mi in the city, even better than Saigon Sandwiches. The baguette they use here is a definite step up.
- banh uotIt's hard to find banh cuon and banh uot (steamed rice sheet noodles) in SF that also offer vegan options. This place does a great platter of both, veggie Banh Mi, and many other options. Their dessert (Che) is delicious too!

If you're craving a classic banh mi, especially the chicken or combo options, this spot is definitely worth a try for its fresh ingredients and great bread. Just be aware that some dishes, particularly certain pork sandwiches, might be a bit of a gamble in terms of taste and portion size.

When it comes to the vibe, many folks are really digging it! With 3 positive remarks out of 4, guests love that it has tables for dining in, and the noise level is just right, making it quiet and easy to talk. Some even call it one of the best in the city!
Overall, customer satisfaction sits at a 75% good rating, and the ambience score is an average 6.5. However, its not all sunshine and roses. The main sticking point, mentioned in 1 instance, seems to be the parking situation.
One guest noted that parking is a concern, even if they didnt call it horrible, implying it's still a hassle to deal with.

Delicious Banh Mi & Great Value
My experience at the restaurant was great! I tried the #11 Banh Mi Bi with Pate, which was a delightful "menu hack. " It offered a perfect balance of "savory and sweet.
" The staff were consistently smiling, and the "price is reasonable" considering the general increase in costs. The atmosphere was quiet and conducive to conversation, and the food was good.

Banh Mi Quality Declined Significantly
I used to get their Banh Mi and Banh Uot here because they were reasonably good for the price. However, I am somewhat disappointed now. The price has gone up significantly, but the quantity and quality have not.
I stopped buying Banh Uot from here. The Banh Mi Dac Biet has barely any Pate or meat (see pictures). They also only have pickled carrots; the pickled veggies should have a combination of carrots and daikon/radishes.
Three Banh Mi for $28 is not worth the price.

Delicious Banh Mi Deal!
My experience was a quick and delicious bite. I got the banh mi thịt nướng, and the pork was incredibly juicy. The banh mi itself had a perfect balance between soft and crunchy textures.
While I would have appreciated the veggies and meat being spread out more evenly, it was honestly one of the better banh mi I've had. The price of $7. 60 is such a great deal, and the ladies serving were friendly.
Just remember to bring cash!

Delicious & Affordable Banh Mi
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially considering the price. I ordered the bbq pork banh mi, and the bread was perfectly textured, not too hard and didn't scratch the roof of my mouth. The roast pork was flavorful with a good amount of fat, and the fresh vegetables added a nice touch.
Including the pate, the total came to $8, which is an excellent deal these days. I would definitely come back.

Kids Loved the Banh Mi!
I hadn't been here in years, but I had to pick up food for my kids because the Krispy Krunchy Chicken next door was closed on Tuesdays. I ordered two egg banh mi's, plain, and the shop didn't question it at all. I paid cash, and it was ready pretty quickly.
My kids enjoyed them, and I want to come back to try other sandwiches!
