Dinosaurs Sandwiches - San Francisco

The peanut sauce is warm and delicious. Love the roles. Easy, fast and cheap.

They have really good tofu spring rolls and a crispy tofu banh mi sandwich. Make sure to top it off with an avocado shake for a complete lunch.

Dinosaurs is a modern Vietnamese sandwich shop with a small space, small menu, and good food. Although they also serve meat and dairy, they have put effort into making about a third of their (clearly labeled) menu vegan. They also sell a couple of the key ingredients they use, like vegan fish sauce and vegan sweetened condensed milk. They offer a really nice array of beverages, like avocado smoothie and watermelon shake. It's a bit more expensive than the hole-in-the-wall bahn mi sandwich places, but it's worth it for high quality fresh food. There's room for maybe ~20 people to sit if the weather is nice, some tables outside. It's a casual place, so you order at the counter, grab a table if you can and wait for your number to be called to pick up food. A lot of people take to-go as well. Recommended!

This restaurant is our favorite takeout spot in the neighborhood. The crispy tofu sandwiches, avocado shakes, and spring rolls with vegan sauce are all delicious and satisfying. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location across the street from the public library is convenient.

The crispy tofu banh mi at this restaurant is fantastic. Don't forget to also sample the Vietnamese coffee served with condensed coconut milk - it's a must-try!
