If you’re in the Bay and like bánh mì, you’ll absolutely LOVE The Station Saigon Smash. The vibe was super cute with fire pits, heaters, and of course the food was well worth the visit Léo did his big one with this genius fusion burger. The fries were also delicious tastes like a McDonald’s fries but 10 times better. We also tried the traditional Smashburger definitely one of the best we’ve had in the Bay Area. We had the pleasure of meeting Léo who was is so kind, passionate and hospitable. We will absolutely be back!

This place is fantastic. If you like junk food, the burgers and fries are top notch. If you like healthy food, the Hippie Bowl cannot be beat! A perfect place to eat if, like me, you're a Gemini who enjoys BOTH healthy and unhealthy! It's kind of amazing that a place that is famous for smashburgers ALSO makes delicious vegetarian options. This time around, I got the Hippie Bowl. It's like a vegetarian sushi roll exploded into a bowl. Ingredients include brown rice, avocado, shredded carrots, kim chi, pickled onions, “jammy” egg, cucumbers, a little shredded radish, a light dusting of sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds, plus cilantro and pickled ginger. EXTREMELY SATISFYING.

Ehat an awesome place!! Burgers are really good. True smash burgers. Also tried the Saigon chicken burger and it was amazing too! Fries were well salted, crisp ans fresh! We were craving some good burgers ans saw this place on google and ended up driving 45 miles one way to eat it. Well worth the drive! Team taking orders was friendly and the atmosphere and ambience is a typical down to earth and semi covered. No inside spaces.

New ownership has made great changes! The fries are 10/10 and i love the soft serve. UPDATE the vegetarian impossible has improved since the first month - they’re giving it the same smashed crispy edges as the real burger. And the hippie bowl is sooo good, the veggies are all perfectly seasoned. I get that more than the burger most visits. My only real complaint is that this place seems to be frequented by the type of bougie neighbors who don’t discipline their kids :)

Amazing burgers and fries, likely one of the best smashburgers I've ever had. Fries were also top notch. Atmosphere is nice, chill outdoor airy sunny venue. If I lived closer I'd definitely be a regular! I got 3 patties and it was awesome, $13 for a triple smash burger is an incredible deal, let alone it was one of the better ones I've ever had!!
