J-melon, I actually prefer Lee's but they never give me enough cilantro or jalapeno: I think I'm just going to have to bring my own.

Both are a little more expensive than the others mentioned. Over in that area I like the Hayes Street Grill, and just beyond, on Market St, Zuni.

I also agree with Nico's list, and will have to be the dissenting voice and say right now that I prefer Lee's to Saigon Sandwich. That's where I go for my banh mi fix. If ever there's room for explorations into Hayes Valley, Bar Jules is my absolute top pick. Nice roundup Sharon.

Silver noodle salad...but it's not totally veg since there's fish sauce) Larkin Express Burmese Kitchen has the best pumpkin stew and rice deal in the former New York deli-space, so you can still get some kind of meatwich last VietNamwich place on my list is another veg option, Lee's on Larkin, not to be confused with the downtown chain (although it is a chain). I'd go to Brenda's on Polk if I could have a two-hour lunch (and a two hour nap, please). favorites for when I actually leave my desk for lunch:

Morty’s on Golden Gate between Hyde and Leavenworth–
friendly to vegetarians and meatatarians alike

Le Petitt’s across the street–make their own sourdough rolls

What used to be called Wrap Delight on Larkin (Wendy always greets me with “Veggie no mayo extra spicy!) is a favored veg-friendly banh mi

Gyro King on Grove across from the library–I’ve been known to go there nearly daily

But if you want to go up Polk Street, there are two North African restaurants - one at Sutter and Polk and another just a bit further on Polk.
