"Unlike professional soccer, there are no ties in bánh mì excellence, so we're declaring #4 the best sandwich here. Inside the untoasted baguette is chả lụa, big chunks of crunchy cucumber, pickled carrots, and optional jalapeños. There are no tables inside this counter-service spot in Chinatown, just a line to order, and a line to wait for your order—amongst other people who understand the importance of a well-made sandwich. And though #4 is the winner, the #1 sandwich with sweet BBQ pork is a close runner-up." - sonal shah, willa moore, carlo mantuano, carina finn koeppicus, will hartman
