Bun Mee Information

Bun Mee is an award winning fast-casual Vietnamese sandwich brand built on a simple belief: Vietnamese street food—especially the banh mi—deserves a permanent place in America’s lunch culture. Founded in San Francisco in 2011 by former attorney Denise Tran, Bun Mee blends bold, Southeast Asian flavors with fresh ingredients, thoughtful execution, and hospitality with soul. From the start, Bun Mee has been recognized for both flavor and execution. The brand has earned extensive local, national, and international press. In 2013, Bun Mee was named to Fast Casual Magazine’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers—ranking between Panera Bread and Five Guys—and was again recognized on the list in 2025. In 2025, Bun Mee was included on Bloomberg’s list of the world’s best airport restaurants. We grow deliberately. Behind every Bun Mee location is a disciplined operating platform designed for consistency, speed, and quality—because we believe strong foundations matter more than fast headlines. Today, Bun Mee operates five corporate locations in San Francisco and at San Francisco International Airport with franchise partners expanding the brand nationally. We’re building for the long term, partnering with people who value culture, craftsmanship, and sustainable growth. Bun Mee, built to last.
