Vanessa PhamJuly 7, 2014If you're looking for the most traditional Vietnamese Sandwich, order #5, the pate supreme. And for $1 more get extra pate--treat yoself.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
JT ReddickJuly 19, 2016The best banh mi sandwich in NYC! If you are a fan of liver pâté, no. 5 pâté is a must!
I always get the #4 ground pork with sweet glaze & I order it spicy. Apparently walking food tours now stop here. It's still just as great & the owner just as nice
DensJuly 14, 2014Can't think of a better $5 sandwich. Minced pork (#3) is my go-to, tho bring a friend or 2 and do some splitty-split. Don't fear The Spicy.
I've tried all of the vegan sandwiches and they are all amazing! My favorites are the curry tofu and the lemongrass tofu. Cash only but cheep! Sandwiches are large and can be two meals. Get it spicy!
Hannah GMJune 12, 2016Best banh mi in lower Manhattan! Grab a Vietnamese iced coffee to go along with it and don't forget cash.
Noah WeissMay 4, 2015One damn good bahn mi, and just $5. Get the #3 with minced ground pork, perfectly juicy.
Chris CooksonJuly 16, 2015I work about a block away from here. Owner is very friendly, I love to get the Pork Glaze Banh Mi but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The lunch rush settles down around 1:30pm
Berk KapiciogluJuly 11, 2014This unassuming place has one of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted!! Get the house special. And it's only five dollars!! It could have been ten dollars and still would have been an amazing deal.
That GirlDecember 6, 2021A staple of the area. Get the classic pork #1 or the vegetarian curry chicken. Order it spicy if you want them to add jalapeños.
Serious EatsApril 23, 2013The filling in the bahn mi sandwiches are the best part here, abundant and tasty, the house special barbecued pork version is more flavorful than the pâté sandwich.
Chris EvansJuly 23, 2014#1 House Special is incredible -- and for $5 probably the best cheap eats option around. Careful though - they take requests for extra spicy REALLY seriously, so make sure you like it hot.
I've been coming here for years and the food is consistently fresh and the old man who takes the orders is super, super nice. Can't really beat $4.50 for a giant bahn mi (easily two meals).
Honghui YuNovember 27, 2017Delicious and cheap banh mi sandwiches. There's a pretty decent selection for vegetarians as well.
The Corcoran GroupMay 4, 2012This is our pick for the best Banh Mi in the city. Quick, fast, cheap, tasty and made to order! Our favorite is the #1 house special – make it spicy!
I get the curry chicken here all the time and have yet to be disappointed. Slightly more expensive (by $0.75) than the shop around the corner, but it's worth it.
jonfreezeJuly 29, 2013Omg is so good! It's not even that spicy if you get the spicy one. Though my pallet for spice is good. : Bánh mì xiéu mại - meatballs with pork and water chestnut
Matthew WongSeptember 13, 2018Subway sandwich style portions but more importantly delish! Get the seat by the window where Chuck from Billions sat 😂
I work in the neighborhood, and the $5.50 House sandwich (option 1), spicy, is probably the best value around.
One of the rare quality banh mis you can find for under $5. Next to the dumplings nearby, the best cheap eats in the area.
all the sandwiches are delicious. & the lil man behind the counter is the cutest, he even goes out of his way to walk up to you and hand you your order
Karen CooperNovember 13, 2016Yummy! I get lemongrass beef every time. Cash only. Try the canned lychee juice
Andrew ZhulidowJanuary 12, 2015I would recommend a chicken sandwich, it was really good. But shrimp roll had few pieces of shrimp. In three rolls I've had just one tiny piece of shrimp in each roll.
My favorite spot to grab a Vietnamese sandwich around the area. Great deal too!
The #1house special, spicy, is about the best bang for the buck this part of town. And one of my favorite sandwiches anywhere. So fresh!
- $5 Authentic bahn mi sandwiches. Easily only of the best and cheapest lunches in the area. Cash only but there's an ATM inside.
Lauryn GoldbergAugust 1, 2021This place is incredible. Sandwiches are big so shareable if you’re not super hungry and perfect if you’re starving. 10/10
Kimberely ChengDecember 28, 2012Delicious! I got the pâté and was pleasantly surprised. Add a little sriracha for that extra kick. Guy behind the counter is super nice and accommodating.
Bond StreetOctober 7, 2016"The simplest menu of all time. Banh Mi Pork or chicken, spicy or regular. I take chicken, spicy, no cilantro." - Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne, founders and creative directors - Public School Read more
Cole KennedyMay 1, 2015Get the #1 House Special, spicy. A big, delicious bánh mì sandwich for less than a cup of fancy coffee.- Nate BeattyNovember 3, 2015A contender for best lunch in the area, and at $5 for a banh mi, its definitely one of the best vaues
The best place in town for banh mi! Get the special with all the cold cuts + extra pate.
oh man is that good. #1 spicy for $4.75 is the way to go. far superior to Banh Mi Saigon Bakery a block away.
Philipp NassJanuary 31, 2018One of my go-to cheap lunch places. Can‘t go wrong with a Banh mi Saigon and a shrimp salad.
Colin LeeOctober 28, 2017Chicken banh mi is excellent. More expensive but slightly better than the other highly rated banh mi store
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenMarch 4, 2017#1 House Special and Vietnamese iced coffee. Incredibly accurate throwback to VN and a bomb banh mi.
for an extra kick, ask for your banh mi to be made extra spicy. to really get crazy, drizzle that sandwich in sriracha.- Viet coffee (hot) is can’t miss. My favorite amongst places visited in Houston and NYC!
These sandwiches are a steal at $5. And make sure the order them spicy. I'm a #1 kind of guy- The hype is real. Get the #1, pay $5, enjoy a delicious sandwich big enough for lunch AND dinner.
If this place took cards, I might not go anywhere else for lunch. Also, the spicy house special is not that spicy, it's just DELICIOUS.
Get the #10, House Special Vegetarian. (Tofu, Mushroom, Carrot & Sweet Radish) Ask for it extra spicy. You can't go wrong!
Bitter RootJanuary 6, 2015Great banh mi, and okay Vietnamese iced coffee. Take it to go, though...the shop smells a little funky.
Gizem KSeptember 28, 2014Hidden gem! Amazing bahn mi sandwiches and summer rolls. Very cheap, fresh and yummy.
Yedi PegueroMay 1, 2013My go to is the tofu curry sammich. So. Good. Never even liked tofu until I tried this and then I was hooked!!!!
Michelle WendyJune 13, 2013Go for the fresh pressed sugarcane juice!! So damn hard to find in this city but oh so worth it.- Ariel VieraOctober 17, 2014The sandwiches are only $5 and they are DELICIOUS. So the decision has been made, you're going. Now.
