Ive eaten here twice. The first time was a BBQ pork banh mi, the second was the bulgogi beef banh mi. The meat was not tender and didnt taste that good. For a $12 banh mi I expect better. If you want a good banh mi Id recommend the Banh mi and coffee closer to downtown San Rafael.

Hungry and tired of Burritos and Burgers, I stumbled across Banh Mi Zon just off 101 near the Civic Center. The building doesnt look like anything special but inside youll see a sleek stainless steel clad kitchen and fancy flat screen menus - kinda fancy! The food matches the snappy looking interior. I had the Banh Mi BBQ pork Vietnamese sandwich on freshly made french baguettes warmed with crispy/flaky crust, stuffed with a vinegar slaw with carrots, cilantro, jalapeno, and of course the tasty thinly sliced BBQ pork. Delish! I got my wife the vermicelli salad also with the BBQ pork, and there was so much food, she now has leftovers for her lunch tomorrow. They will have hot pot dinners to go, which I will try next, but its a great find!

Clean, friendly and informative staff. Ok. The food was delicious. We ordered 6 banh mi sandwiches. They also have boba, and ice coffee. No complaints here. Cute spot. Outdoor sitting and side parking. Will be returning here for the delicious food.

Don’t believe all the AI bot fake reviews they’re paying for on here. It’s not good food. I recently visited based on their great rating before realizing reviews were fake. Meat was low quality, I had to pull apart my sandwich by hand to take out beef fat/gristle that couldn’t be chewed. The standard Banh mi sandwich had a gross pate paste all over it, and still managed to be dry.It wasn’t cheap and there was no staff to talk to - you had to order/pay/tip all on an iPad. They don’t do refunds or exchanges either, very adamant about that too.It was also ~85°f in the store on only a moderately hot day. I won’t be returning and hope you don’t need to suffer like I did!

This is not Vietnamese soup. Fake, looks a little similar. It looks like Russian chicken soup, which for some reason added chopped chili peppers. And the lemonade is delicious.

The first bahn mi sandwich I had was in San Francisco was about 5 years ago. (2014) It was my first experience eating a Vietnamese sandwich. Although I dont remember the name of the place I ordered from, I do remember the sandwich being very delicious. Very fresh. Very filling, and a flavor of its own. I left really satisfied and thinking Bahn mi is something I cant wait to try back in Marin where I live . I didnt realize this was going to be such a hard task. The first time I saw the Bahn mi zon food truck parked near my work I was hooked. I would get a different sandwich for my lunch once a month or even every other week. I have since tried other Vietnamese sandwiches around loacal. They are all good. But lacking an authentic flavour. I knew Bahn Mi Zon had just opened recently and finally decided to give them a shot. The place was so clean and the menu had bowl options if you dont want a sandwich. Thai tea which I ordered and enjoyed greatly. The service was excellent and the staff was friendly. The sandwich was exactly what I was expect from an authentic Bahn mi. (I got the Traditional) Very delicious sandwich. Worth the price. Very filling and if your feeling extra hungry, you have options to add extras. I am looking forward to my next trip back to try different sandwich or a different item. YUM!

Decent Banh Mi but the wait is incredible. 30 min for a sandwich. Makes me want to not come back if they dont hire more.

1-star to balance out the HUGE amount of fake reviews this place is paying for. Food is overpriced and meat is low-quality. Cant recommend not going here enough.

Yum! I got the vermicelli salad with teriyaki chicken and it was delicious and huge! All ingredients tasted fresh and service was speedy. Will definitely be my new lunch spot!Seating is not abundant, but you could go across the street to the civic center and find a nice picnic table there.

Pho is one of my all time favorite foods, and out of any place I’ve been so far, this place is the absolute best. Delicious soup and spring rolls and fast service..I live an hour away and have come back twice and will be coming back again
