bun mee: market street SF
project details
Bun Mee is the second installment of the immensely popular Vietnamese sandwich shop from owner Denise Tran, whose original store opened on Fillmore Street in 2011, featuring authentic yet innovative bánh mì sandwiches. Although her charming Fillmore Street location is comfortably nestled in the Victorian neighborhood of Pacific Heights, this new venue takes a different approach, with its design cues coming from the chaotic intensity of San Francisco’s Financial District. Conceptually, it recalls the long history of the Vietnamese street food scene, where bánh mì is often served curbside amid the hustle and bustle of the urban fabric, and melds that with a more modern and urban street vibe consistent with the vitality of this Market Street location.
