Saigon Banh Mi specialized in hero, making its own perfect baguettes having some rice flour mixed in with the wheat, and dressing them with fillings that ran from pâté to barbecued pork to chicken . Read more

No 7 (Banh mi 'Beef stew ') is my go-to sandwich . Soft braised tendons and generous cuts of tender beef on crispy bread . The regular banh mi is solid too. Cash only , not too surprising.

"The banh mi is a barbecue pork sandwich with sweet, tender pork and crispy vegetables . I have one at least once a week when I pick up my restaurant equipment down the block." - Chef Albert Di Meglio Read more

Fabian Martin

Very solid choice! The meat is deliciously caramelized and the bread is crispy . A bit dry and too much cilantro but overall very good especially for 8$!

Alex Jen

The classic Banh Mi (listed as #1 on their menu) is a souped up version of a classic. The cilantro is super fresh and the roast pork is sweet, tangy , and just a little bit crispy .

Dan Lam

Great Vietnamese sandwiches and fast service too. This shop is run by mostly ladies and it's not overpriced. BBQ pork is my favorite and its traditional. For dessert get the rainbow ice.

Dáša Janíková

Oh my gosh. I’ve tried three sandwiches and all of them were very delicious. My daughter had chicken rolls and she was satisfied as well .

NYC: The Official Guide

Get the classic #1. Fragrant, sweetly caramelized , slow-cooked pork is stuffed into a hot, crusty baguette along with fiery chilies, cool cucumber , shredded daikon and a fistful of cilantro . Read more

Kathy Sun

#6 Buddhist spicy ! cheap and generously stuffed with many veggie goodies - wood ear, shiitake , baby corn , tofu and your usual banh mi fixings. whole wheat baguettes available

Brian Park

For the value, it's the best Bahn Mi you can get, period. Get the Spicy BBQ sandwich , cus it's outrageously good.

Amy Chen

Delicious cheap banh mi sandwiches . You can't go wrong with any of the options. Follow @foodaholic_anonymous on Instagram.

Pork Bahn Mi : Shuko chef Nick Kim says it’s the freshly baked baguettes : “Like the rice with sushi , the bread is often overlooked, but it’s so important.”

Victoria Lee

Great banh mi saigon (pork ) sandwich ! YUM! I always aim to eat here when I get a chance!! Previously located on Broome St but moved to this bigger location which they share w/ a jewelry store . :]

Victoria Taveras

Even when you are in a hurry and have to get one of the pre-made Bah min it's still a great meal for $4.50 . I had half for lunch and the other half for dinner

Bram Hubbell

Best bánh mi in Manhattan with great vegan options . I love the curried mock chicken

Village Voice

House made pork sausage forms the basis for Sandwich #1. Added to this is the bland, Bologna-like pork "pate ," pickled root vegetables , spears of fresh cuke , and wads of cilantro - cheap and delicious!

Once ensconced in a stall under the Manhattan bridge , this distinguished Vietnamese institution was reinstalled in the rear of a jewelry store . Read more

Pauly C

More expensive every year by $.25 and less pork and pickled vegetables . Will think twice when going here from now on. Currently priced $5.25. Been eating this when it was $2.50.

AskMen

Get the Banh Mi . It's a Vietnamese sandwich . If you've never had it, go there and try it. Everybody that ends up trying this place usually makes it regular stop for food.

Valerie Petrov

Chicken curry is great. The spicy version was not hot at all. Opt for extra spicy if you're in search of a kick

Jen Shin

hands down one of the best bahn mi sandwiches ive ever had. extremely cheap as well .

Jennifer Yu

Grilled pork banh mi every time. Their baguettes are better than the average in the neighborhood . Flaky and soft!

Oliver Huang

#4 is the way to go. It's the classic Vietnamese cold cut banh mi . The BBQ pork banh mi is over cooked and not as satisfying.

Victoria H.

Pork Banh Mi and Chicken Banh Mi were very tasty, however, the bread was a little stale and the spicy-ness was lackluster.

John Fontein

Its good...but there's more hype than substance here. Saigon Sandwich Deli around the corner is definitely better 😋🥙🥪

miachel pruett

Just as good as the hype. Large sandwiches stuffed with fresh ingredients , all < $5 including tax. Try a coconut milk dessert for a sweet finish.

John A

Yummy Vietnamese sandwiches . Seating along the walls and two vegetarian sandwiches on the menu. Recommend the BBQ pork Banh Mi .

Luke Pack

The bbq pork bahn mi is great value for $4.50. Just as good as the ones you pay $8-$10 all over NYC. Cash only .

Serious Eats

Good bread when it's fresh and the pickled veggies are abundant, but meats here are just alright. The one exception is a meatball variation , which is quite juicy.

Paul P

Great for vegetarians - try the vegetarian sandwich with mushrooms , tofu , baby corn and make it spicy (jalapeños ). Mock curry chicken also tasty. Only $5 each for huge sandwich !

City Food Tours

Newer New York food trends include the Vietnamese staple sandwich , Banh Mi . Combining Sweet, Savory, Sour and Umami, it should fit the bill for any craving

陳雄暉 弟兄

INSIST that your ice coffee be done right. CRUSHED ice all the way. Don't let them skimp you with that cubed ice. It's NOT the same!

Michael Anthony

Got the classic bahn Mi sandwich . It was good but the bread was so stale.

I3 I2 /\ [)

One of the best Banh Mi Sandwiches I've ever had. Cheap and delicious...pork is my fav!

Savannah Petrick

incredibly fast, CHEAP , and yummy, but the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired- it's definitely a grab-and-go kind of place.

Kimmie Ohh

You obviously come here for a bahn mi sandwich . Get the spicy pork

Jen P

If you want a banh mi to go for the next day just let them know and they'll put the veggies on side.

Peter Lada

Number 1 is great. So is most of them. And the Baum mi ladies are super nice.

Seb

Best Sandwich ever! I tried nbr. 1 bbq spicy pork .

David Greenberger

$5 lunch , so good. If you've never had a bahn mi , in for a treat. Spicy #2.

Simon Leung

In the mood for a Vietnamese Sandwich ? This place is probably the best in town . Don't buy jewelry in front but at least it's amusing.

Ben K.

Great, cheap banh mi . Get the signature BBQ pork and an iced coffee .

Chau Tran

Reasonable price and superb quality bang my!!!

Demetri Karagas

House special extra spicy , best banh mi in NYC. Note it is cash only .

Max Wendkos

Nick Kim, chef/partner of Shuko, recommends the Pork Bahn Mi .

New York Habitat

For $4.25 get the #1 Bahn Mi Saigon pork sandwich . Loaded with pork on a crispy baguette , it fills you up and is light on the wallet.

Valentin Guerin

Number #1 was great, I which their mayo was a bit more spicy .

Cary H

Guys, the banh mi are great, but the one liter Wheat Aloe juice is where it's at. two fifty, and it's got a secret opening top that you'll have to have one of the locals show you how to open.

Claire

Excellent and cheap bahn mi - $4.50 for pork #1 - prices have gone up since previous ratings.
