I love this neighborhood!
Rice Paper Scissors rules!
Agreed. A $9 banh mi?! Maybe if I was a wealthy fucking Googler I could justify paying that price. This is like that Creme Brulee place on 24th – just another fancy craphole for techie dorks with money to burn to go as part of their “SF lifestyle.”
But but, all the ingredients are locally sourced, farm to table, and organic!
WOW Housemade Mayo and only $9 dollars…what a bargain!
I concur. Suck a dick.
jesus, nine bucks for a banh mi? That’s some straight-up bullshit right there.
You know the deal. http://www.missionbanhmi.com/menu/
A-yuh.
Also, thirteen bucks for a bowl of pho is almost twice what it should be.
These places never taste right either. Broth is always missing something (maybe MSG) meat is too lean and they don’t have tripe and beef balls
I don’t get it. Wouldn’t you normally be desparaging this as yet another symptom of gentrification in the mission?
+1 …Regardless if I love Rice Paper or not or agree with their pricepoints, I also feel it is really hard for anyone to keep up with who you bloggers think is cool enough to be successful in the mission or anywhere in SF for that matter.. I guess the formula is friends with writer=cool enough to not get hated on and get some positive feedback on said business venture OR not known by writer or perceived recent transplant=not cool enough to succeed and sucking the life out of the SF that was once loved by all
Spot on. Who did they displace? is my question.
