I was in the San Jose area back in November for the NWSL Championship and was looking for a solid breakfast food option and found Aina’s Vegan Banh Mi and was absolutely blown away by the food and the service I received. The breakfast Banh Mi is one of, if not the single, best sandwiches I’ve EVER eaten. So fresh, so light, and the flavor was so memorable that two months later I still think about it every morning. I also had to pleasure of meeting Aina and her husband, both of whom were incredibly endearing and quick to conversation. We chatted about their time operating the restaurant, the way they prepare their incredible food, and what brought my partner and I to the area. I was also pleasantly surprised with the way that they both remembered the details of the conversation when we came back the next morning (the food is so good, we knew that this would be our spot while we were in the area). If you’re in the area and looking for some of the best vegan food that you will ever have, you absolutely need to make sure you visit Aina’s. Below you’ll find photos of their bbq banh mi, breakfast banh mi, vegan steamed vegetable bao, and bbq fresh roll.

Delicious and generously sized (but still affordable) banh mi in many varieties! The space is larger than I expected and could work for a group dine in (we did take out - they were super fast), and service is friendly and they clearly care a lot about their menu and answering our questions. Also recommend the viet iced coffee!

Vegan breakfast banh mi with JustEgg omelet inside the bread, containing spinach, onions, tomatoes. So delicious. Also the passion dragon smoothie was amazing, these smoothies contain more real fruit and have a thick creamy texture. Absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted.
