Bun Mee Vietnamese Sandwich Eatery

Truly Distinctive Gourmet Vietnamese Fast-Casual

Amidst the usual Subway, Jersey Mike's, and Jimmy Johns, Bun Mee stands out by offering something truly distinctive. America is not just ready but eager for something new, and we're here to satisfy that craving with our focus on the banh mi as our signature offering.

Bun Mee is committed to building value and aiming to be the premier gourmet Vietnamese fast-casual dining option in cities nationwide. We are proud to represent the rich Vietnamese-American heritage of our founder, Denise Tran, and draw inspiration from the uniquely beautiful sights, sounds, and flavors of street food in Vietnam fused with modern California twists.

From Banh Mi to beyond, our mission is to build the most beloved Vietnamese fast-casual brand that wins over the hearts, minds and taste buds of every American.
