My friend Dan showed me around this spot. This joint is a super underrated spot serving authentic Vietnamese food . It's worth going out of the way for.

Blair Mikels

Roasted chicken bahn mi is great -- exactly what it sounds like for a good price, fast. The original bahn mi is a little sweet. Won't be going back for that one.

Moses Nakamura

the bánh mi (very spicy ) is a wonderful sandwich . the flavor is intense enough that the face-blasting spice doesn't drown it out. it's also structurally very sound. would recommend

Shelly

I still say, best banh mi in NYC !!! Get traditional pork , with fried egg , extra spicy for an unforgettable treat.

Kate Furman

Great for a cheap quick eat . All items on menu are under $10 and tastes authentic .

Michael Landas

Very underrated Vietnamese food . Awesome bahn mi .

Alex Cohen

Best Vietnamese restaurant around. I highly recommend the clay pot ginger chicken .

Wesley Bliss

Hidden gem . Possibly the best banh mi for miles. In the top 3 for Vietnamese coffee .

Anson Wang

Legit bahn mi + legit pho makes this place a double threat. Get the fried egg on the bahn m.

Ben Mackey

If you are here for dinner get the Pho , Vermicelli Noodles with Beef or the hidden gem : the yellow curry .

Andrea Plasko

Deliciously affordable , authentic cuisine ! Can't go wrong here!

Netsirk

Order EXTRA spicy if you want some good, hot chili banh mi ! Especially tasty with pork .

Patrick Hayes

The soy protein sandwich is the best vegetarian banh mi around. You won't regret it.

Howard Walfish

Surprisingly good vegetarian pho . You can get a fried egg in your banh mi for an extra $1

Nick Nick

Great Pho for verrrry reasonable prices!

Without a doubt, best banh mi in NYC . Bahn mi that leaves a brain imprint akin to addiction.

Best summer rolls in the area! Trust me. I've tried them all.

Awesome sandwiches for just $6.50. You can add a fried egg for another $1.

Erik Michielsen

The fish banh mi is a solid choice. Bring thunder and order it xtra spicy .

Beef pho is legit, much better than Sao Mai nearby

Saarim Zaman

The birds eye chillies in the extra spicy banh mi gives you a sweaty workout

By far the best bahn mi in the East Village .

Lauren Schoenfeld

Veggie pho . Wouldn't get again. There's hardly any veggies and the tofu is cooked funky

Asha

Cute little family owned hole in the wall w excellent homecooked food and kind owners.

Ariella V.

Everything is great

Les Vital

Get the pork bahn mi with a fried egg in it! They go perfect together like a turtleneck and chain!

Shelly

Pork pate ...best banh mi I've ever tasted. Been thinking about it for a month!

Matt Raoul

Skip the allure of adding a fried egg to your sandwich , but split an order of spring rolls if you wanna get frisky. They are solid.

Luc Doan

Good pho and banh mi sandwiches .

Vivian Vo

If you ask nicely, the bathroom is in the back!

Rachel

Banh mi sandwich with a fried egg ????????????????

Elizabeth Yang

To my horror, a mosquito alighted upon me and bit me right as I was enjoying a bowl of their delicious pho :(

Chris Castiglione

Veggie pho with soy is amazing and extremely filling.

Jerry Wong

Banh mi is cheap and tasty.

Jess

Veggie pho is out of this world

Tariq B

Very filling and worth the price but the bread was not as fresh or crispy as the top places and neither were the veggies .

Craig Cannon

If you're going with the veggie pho , get the soy protein .

Audrey Chou

Vermicelli bowl is alright. Doesn't taste as refreshing as I'm used to. Bahn mi not bad

Kimberly Holcombe

Tasty sandwiches - no public bathrooms !

@phiunit

This banh mi is amazing and I'm Vietnamese I would know

Amina Hussain

best banh mi in nyc

Kenji Summers

Get the crispy sunfish (red curry sunfish sandwich ). It is great!

Asim Jaweed

Congratulations! You, sir or madam, likely through divine intervention, have stumbled upon the best bành mí this side of the Pacific. Try everything, though the understated banh mi classic amazes.
