Bánh Mì Saigon

The Best Bánh Mì In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"The #4 from Banh Mì Saigon in Chinatown is the apex of bánh mì engineering. The outer edge of the untoasted baguette cracks like delicate glass, and the squishy portion beneath absorbs a layer of pâté. Above that are four distinct slices of chả lụa, big chunks of crunchy cucumber, pickled carrots, and jalapeños (if you ask for it spicy). Each component would border on too rich, vinegary, or spicy on its own, but they’re all portioned and organized in a way that makes for a nearly ideal sandwich." - will hartman, willa moore, hannah albertine
