Overview

About Bun Mee

Founder-led since 2011, Bun Mee offers early upside with systems built to scale. Bun Mee owns the banh mi category, offering entrepreneurs a rare white-space fast-casual brand. Small footprints, simple ops, and multiple revenue streams drive strong unit economics.

Bun Mee is taking the banh mi, Vietnam’s most iconic sandwich, and bringing it to the American mainstream. In a saturated category full of predictable subs, we’re the first national brand leading a completely untapped space: gourmet Vietnamese fast casual. With proven airport and street-side performance, a simple, scalable model, and zero major competitors, Bun Mee is positioned to become the “Shake Shack of Vietnamese sandwiches.”
