Vietnamese Food Stand

Time: 11:37am/71°F partly sunny
Purpose: Walking out from WF bank across the street saw a line with people waiting patiently. I got curious with excitement thinking another new food spot away from mainstream Fi-​Di area. Walk up and saw a makeshift canopy about the size of a portable toilet stall.
Set-​up: 3 ft rolling ice chest, folding convention table, 5 gallon mini waste basket, canopy, microwave/​toaster, cold case display, Honda EU 3000is generator, sandwich ad board, white Ford pick up.
Staff: Man and woman could be husband/​wife duo. Speaks with accent but they can understand you right from the get go, so don’t worry in this case, you’ll still have banh mi. The man drops off the equipments for the lady sets it up then takes off to his job I guess. Looks like a contractor or construction job paint on jeans and truck.
Cleanliness: Grade B-​, not the worst but her microwave and toaster oven looks out dated with debris stuck on sides/​handles. Hopefully it was just that moment I saw it, will be clean up when she has a moment.
Eats/​Drinks: Pork sammie with all fixings $ 3.75. Didn’t get any drinks or rolls just wanted to try sammie out first time. However base on this sammie I will definitely be back for their rolls ingredients are fresh as it gets, no skimping here.
Products/​Services: Sammies-​combo, chicken, bbq pork, vegetarian, special ham all $ 3.75ea. Spring rolls-​chicken, shrimp, veggie tofu all $ 5ea. Combos-​Any sammie, spring roll and a drink $ 9. Assorted ice cold drinks sodas/​water $ 1.25ea.
Punch Lines: Portable mobile, limited choices, good portions, fresh, bread has slight crunch (perfect), friendly, within 2 mins order is ready, no seatings, no desserts, cash only, strictly to go, Fi-​Di, cable car, banks, all modes of transportation, hotel, federal reserve, drug store, cafes, PG&E, ferry building, water fronts.
Tradeoffs: Now if you’re craving for Vietnamese fast food with limited choices, no time on hand. This can be the closes without treking over to TL or Chinatown.
Final Thoughts: For people who haven’t try Vietnamese food, having it for the first time it can be frustrating and daunting task. With that said if you know your basic eats/​drinks things can be easier. Some people walking by just wants to ask questions but no intention on buying. Asian eating may elude lots of people especially if it looks weird to them. As for me I’m a veteran of these type, being raise around SF as a kid I had connections to Chinatown, Little Italy, Japantown, outter Richmond/​Sunset basically all areas of map cover. I get my grubbing at a early age. Glad to see a stand like this in heart of the Fi-​Di.
