Ray Lin

New favorite bahn mi in the city , just delicious. Cub Classic is utterly amazing, with superb BBQ pork , pate , perfectly toasted bread (+ jalepenos ). Notice how many quality adjectives were used?

Jenny Wang

Unlike some other lemongrass chicken banh mis I've had the one at Xe May was perfectly tender and juicy. The "Hog" was also packed with flavor. They got the art of toasting bread down to a T!

Anil Dash

The cub classic is an absolutely incredible sandwich . Sublime.

Alex Robertson

Really good sandwiches . Iced Vietnamese coffee and limeade were bad, we agreed. It’s inside the building on the left of the album cover to Led Zeppelin’s “Physical Graffiti ”

Missy Mackey

Sidecar beef bahn mi sandwich extra spicy on wheat. Very good and only $13 with drink & kind bar . Got it for takeout during covid they seemed sanitary, had a plexiglass wall & contactless payment.

Rock Raines

super cub classic was top notch. My only wish is that their taco offerings incorporated Mexican style meats eg. A Vietnamese version of an al pastor spit would be incredible.

Lori Luo

A perfectly crusty baguette pairs well with fresh and crisp fillings. You can customize your banh mi with one of three different spice levels.

Anna Frenkel

Meat lovers - please please please get the Cub Classic, and make it spicy . It's definitely not a traditional bahn mi but that's what makes it even better.

Luc Doan

Super sub classic aka banh mi dac biet. As blasphemous as it feels to verbally order a super sub here, I really enjoyed the sandwich . 7-8 bucks for a sandwich , cash only . Take it Togo.

Zayed Khan

The Sidecar (grilled beefsteak w/ pineapple chutney banh mi ) is one of the best sandwiches in the city .

Omari Allen

I've been coming here for years. If you're not washing your báhn mi down with a basil limeade fizz, you're doing it wrong!

Fabian Martin

Slow service but fantastic sandwiches ! I had the Super cub sandwich and it was very tasty

Gianna Nebbia

Oh my gosh. They somehow get their chicken to taste like bacon . One of the best Bahn Mi’s I’ve ever eaten

Michelle Wiles

Let it sit for a second so the sauce softens the bread a bit. Vegetarian bahn mi is pretty big. Also crumbs everywhere.

Apex Taco

Had 'The "Hog"', very tastey. Small seating, friendly staff - next time trying the "Super Cub Classic ". Totally paid twice once on seamless, then again on p/u. They called me right after to refund.

This vietnamese sandwich place is great! the super club classic is popular but my fav. is the hog with iced lychee green tea >_<// so tasty!!!!

Dina Rughani

Order the lambretta. It is a perfect mix of spicy , the lamb is cooked perfectly and the bread is perfectly crusty.

Brooklyn United

Inventive bahn mi . The Lambretta, a coconut curry lamb bahn mi , is excellent. The vegetarian bahn mi on whole wheat bread is also a great choice!

Michael Anthony

Tacos were amazing. Spring rolls were ???? too

Raphael Langenscheidt

The Banh mi is exactly what you want. And the spicy lambretta - awesome. They deliver , too - fast and pretty cheap . This place is great.

Soma Roy

Always get The Hog, spicy , with extra meat (that last thing is not on the menu , but I can't get enough of that grilled pork !)

Nick Andlinger

Get a super cub or the hog and ask for it extra spicy . $9 weekday lunch special !

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Quick, easy and delicious. Note, cash only . Get the hog or pilot sandwiches and a side of the summer rolls .

Natalie LeMoss

The lunch special is awesome. I highly recommend the Sidecar , the pineapple chutney is to die for.

Thrillist

Xe May puts has an eccentric take on bahn mi ... so eccentric that they're mixing grilled beefsteak with pineapple chutney to create the tasty "Sidecar ." Read more

Jenni Greenwald

We go here all the time! The sandwiches are fresh and delicious and super cheap ! It's cash only .

andrew

Love the sidecar , but the classic is also excellent. Like the spring rolls as well .

Nate Beatty

I can not get enough of the lemongrass chicken sandwich . So good.

JD

Don't fear the extra spicy . It's really just "Sriracha " (which you love) + jalapeños + a kicker of chili oil . No need to be a daredevil.

Malcolm Ring

Awesome bahn mi , preferred the sidecar over the original. Iced Vietnamese coffee is tasty, leaning towards sweet.

Wow the Lam'bretta with cumin lamb is fantastic. Skip the chicken offering: the meat is a bit rubbery

Daniel Grayson

That super cub classic is a wonderful thing to push into your face hole.

Colin Lee

Pilot (chicken ) sandwich is tasty. The tacos have a banh mi taste as well

Walt Walker

The bahn mi 's are delicious. I got the Hog. Watch out, the 'extra spicy ' really has some kick.

Patty

The super cub classic was a decent sandwich . A good old classic.

Serious Eats

Newfangled banh mi with pleasing results. We like the sweet and spicy curried lamb sandwich .

Jack Gashi

I go here at least once a week. Xe May is like a star wideout - just get them touches and let them go to work.

Harry Raymond

Mild spice is plenty spicy . Go with the lemongrass chicken sandwich for hearty lunch under $9.

Ashley Rose

Agree with consensus- sandwiches are super tasty but light on the meat. Ask for extra if you're really hungry. Got the sidecar

Marian Elbert

I had the superclub classic banh mi which was good, but not amazing like some of the banh mi restaurants in Chinatown. Also I wish the bread had been taken out earlier.

David Milberg

I get the classic sandwich on white bread . So good! The bread itself is so good.

Alexis Bendjouia

The mean free sandwich on whole wheat is delicious. Really tasty.

Tiffany Li

The fresh basil soda limeade is delicious! Super refreshing and yummy. The lam'bretta is also really really good. Love this place!

Michelle Luong

The mean green vegetarian banh mi is incredible! 2 days later & I am still thinking about how good it is!

Lizzy Saxe

All the sandwiches are fantastic. Especially the classic and the curried lamb .

Evelyn Ling

The Sidecar was amazing. Can't wait to try the other sandwiches !

Alexandra Fanning

Best bahn mi out there ???????? hands down - the classic is essential

Gagan Rana

Best Banh mi in the city . The super cub is superb. Always order with extra Sriracha !

Harry Raymond

The Pilot Lemon grass chicken sandwich for $7.50 is a great affordable lunch .
