Sing Sing Sandwich Shop

While the sandwiches are smaller at Sing Sing than Saigon Sandwich , Sing Sing's sandos are authentic , they make Vietnamese coffee (iced or hot), and have nice, ample seating .

The bread and ingredients are quality and well-portioned — what you would expect to get on the streets of Ha Noi — for $4, Sing Sing's banh mi makes for a yummy and affordable lunch in a nice setting.

The banh mi are authentic — far more authentic than Saigon's super-sized and sloppy sandwiches — but I'm a sucker for Saigon's monster, dripping, and insanely affordable sandos , so I'll stick to them.

At last, a banh mi with head cheese . And it tastes really good - moist, savory and well balanced with the coriander and pickles .

For much of his cafe 's quarter-century history, Harry Lam only made one kind of banh mi : the classic Saigon-style blend of cold cuts and pickled vegetables . It's still the one to order here. Read more

There's often only one sandwich , the combination ($3.50) with pork and pate , though you sometimes might luck out with the meatball option ($3.50). Read more
