Asian-influenced sandwiches like Tsangwich, Tres Golpes, Mala Wrap
"Timed with its one-year anniversary earlier this month, this shop that previously operated as a walk-up window is expanding to add standing tables for 12 to 15 people inside, creating room to enjoy items like the Mala Tsangwich with fried chicken ($14)." - Melissa McCart
"If your standard bodega BEC isn’t doing it for you, check out The Sandwich Board. The tiny window on the Lower East Side serves sandwiches that draw inspiration from all over the place, like a tsangwich with peking duck on a bolo bao, a halal cart sandwich, and one called the Mulberry, with ham, pepperoni and mortadella. That tsangwich is pretty solid, but we’re more excited by their breakfast sandwiches, like the tres golpes, where thin patties of crisped-up Dominican sausage envelop eggs, sweet plantains, and pickled onions. Take your sandwich to go (there are only a few chairs outside the window reserved for waiting customers), sit on a bench in Sara D. Roosevelt Park, and watch people play soccer while you tuck into your breakfast. Food Rundown Tres Golpes Jammy plantains, a very thin layer of fried Dominican sausage, and pickled red onions make this sandwich worth seeking out. Add a tangy salsa rosada, and it's a huge upgrade from your usual BEC. photo credit: Will Hartman Tsangwich Made with your choice of peking duck or chashu pork and served on a bolo bao. Some more Chinese mustard would have cut the richness of the duck and balanced out the sweet hoisin, but we were still happy with this choice. photo credit: Will Hartman" - Will Hartman
"I stopped by The Sandwich Board, a simple sandwich shop serving breakfast sandwiches in the morning and lunch sandwiches like a salmon banh mi by midday." - Emma Orlow
"A Chinatown-window operation blending New York deli and local Chinese influences, offering items like tortas, an egg-and-cheese wrap with Chinese sausage, and a chicken-cutlet hero; the Tsangwich (Peking duck chosen over char siu) uses duck from a nearby restaurant and a sweet duck-sauce mustard that works well, but the choice of a very sweet, dense pineapple bun made the sandwich too heavy to finish, and seating is limited to a few sidewalk chairs — the reviewer did not find the Tsangwich worth the wait." - Tammie Teclemariam
