This place is so damn good. The egg salad sandwich was probably the best I’ve ever had, and the Bollito was ?. I’m definitely going to make this a regular spot.
As other reviewers have written, the CP 3, Mom’s meatballs and JoJo’s Bollito were meaty and pricey at $16 per sandwich not including tax and 15% gratuity on top . My favorite was the CP 3 for the excellent pork fillings! We were disappointed in the Gombo-Ppang of which 4 “donuts” were sold to us dry and a day old at the original price of $5 . They either should have been sold for a significant discount or been sold as “day old” product . We absolutely missed out on the yeasty fluffy peanut donut with custard filling by not buying the day of creation. But as seeing it is not on the present menu, I guess it wasn’t the best seller especially with its short shelf life.
It was good. Very good.The star of the show is the bread. Perfect in every way.The sandwiches are large, but because the bread is both fluffy and crunchy I didn't feel overly full afterwards.My only disappointment was that they used Jalapeño rather than birds eye chilli's in their "Bahn mi". This is a personal thing, but I cannot find a place that doesn't do Jalapeños and I find it just wrong. Was hoping ...Very good. But expensive.
I had the CP No. 3 and Vietnamese iced coffee. The bread is amazing! Crusty on the outside and soft/chewy on the inside. It's a perfect sandwich. Coffee is delicious; not too sweet. I'm coming back again!
Pretty bland and lackluster for a $20 sandwich. I had the ‘CP’s 3’, and you can get much better banh-mi sandwiches elsewhere in SF
Congrats to Chuck’s Takeaway on bringing refinement to the humble banh mi sandwich! I was happy to see they were open on Presidents’ Day and stopped by early afternoon. It was a small but friendly storefront with a small counter to eat in. I ordered the #3, a peanut butter cookie, and an iced coffee. What struck me immediately was the fresh herbs and veggies and the bold clean flavors of the pork and pate. This was all encapsulated by a crisp flaky baguette that had a soft interior. You could tell that the employees took pride in working for the business. They were friendly and answered questions. I’m looking forward to trying something else on the menu on my next visit!
My vegetarian eggplant sandwich was delicious. It is extra expensive but that’s how it goes in this town.My friend and I ordered online separately. Our sandwiches were estimated to take two hours but his were done at noon and mine were done at around 1225 even though I put my order in a few minutes before his. The estimated time they’d be ready was 1245. So anyway I think they’re just starting up and they’re very busy so don’t be too big of a rush
I ordered Jo Jo's Bollito and it was almost inedible. The Bread and sauce were great. However, there were gobs and gobs of fat (or something resembling fat) that was so tough it couldn't even be chewed. I had to pull it all out of the sandwich, which left a bun and about 1 bite of the succulent braised belly meat. So disappointing.
Picked up an egg salad sandwich and Thai Iced Tea. Fantastic! The egg salad was delicious! Great bread with a nice green topping of parsley (I think)! A side of something pickled which I didn't eat but I'm sure it was good. The Thai Iced Tea was perfect. I highly recommend!
Warm welcome to the Mission! I commend this crew for being brave enough to open here with this concept. We can support normalizing that Vietnamese food can be priced as much as Italian, American, or French sandwiches that run the same prices in SF
