The grill pork bahn mi (#2) is one of the best if not the best I’ve had in the Bay. This could only be specific to the orinda location because it’s the only one Ive been to, but I can’t stop going here. The grilled pork is perfectly seasoned with lemongrass and juicy as hell. The bread is crunchy on the outside and pillow soft on the interior, meat to vegetable ratio is perfect and the flavor of all the ingredients combined is out of this world. In my opinion, it’s better than Banh mi bi le (in Oakland) grilled pork bahn mi! Which is saying a hell of a lot because that was my favorite in the Bay area until I tried this one
Really good spot, super convenient for anyone looking for a Vietnamese food fix in the immediate area. Very reasonable portions, ingredients seem/taste fresh, on par with pho I’ve had in other local restaurants.
Got food to-go, so can’t speak to the in-person dining experience.
Just had a great experience at Kibi’s! We had Banh Mi, Pho, and Vietnamese Coffee. All were really tasty. Our food came quickly, was hot, and very reasonably priced. Will be going back soon for sure!
Visited on Jan 3, 2026 on my way back to the East Bay from Walnut Creek on a whim. I’ll preface this by saying I’m accustomed to outstanding Pho in Oakland with bone broth that is prepped the day before and simmering for 12 plus hours. The pho broth was okay at best. The chicken was so tough I literally could not eat it. I set it aside and asked them why the chicken was so tough and they brought me another serving of chicken… One of the handful of pieces they gave me I could not bite through. Mind you I’ve had braces in the past and have a near perfect bite and have all of my teeth and I could not bite through the chicken to save my life. I hate say it also was not seasoned at all and the broth did nothing to mask the bland flavor. I won’t be back. I was so disappointed by my visit here. I truly felt like I wasted nearly $20. I went to eat elsewhere afterward instead.
Best bahn mi sandwich I’ve had in a long time. $10 bucks. Boom.
Update Jan 2025. finally tried their Pho. Had rare steak (Tai). No more driving to Walnut Creek for my Pho fix (sorry Kevin’s Noodle House…). Definitely a 10. True slow cooked broth. Vs what others are using that I believe to be canned broth.
