Little Vietnam

This small, family-run sandwich shop serves rice plates, noodles, grab-and-go spring rolls and vermicelli bowls, but it's best known for its overflowing banh mi subs. Choose from ham paté, five-spice chicken, lemongrass pork, pork meatball and marinated crispy tofu, each topped with pickled vegetables, cucumbers, mayo, cilantro and jalapeños. Though there's limited seating inside, you can chow down at one of the sidewalk tables beside a mural of the San Francisco bay. Ask for the Peter's Special: the addition of a fried egg and special sauce is well worth the extra money.
