Where Saigon Nostalgia Meets Balboa Street
At Ghien Banh Mi & Cafe, we pack the warmth of 1970s Saigon into every crackling baguette. Our banh mi are built on house-pickled daikon and carrot, bright cilantro, and grilled meats layered the old way. We brew our coffee slow, one phin drip at a time, sweetened with condensed milk over crushed ice. It is street-food soul, made fresh daily and served with a smile in the Richmond District.
