Profile

Don't be fooled by the jewelry-store facade: This schitzophrenic Chinatown storefront is actually home to some of the city's best Vietnamese sandwiches. In case you're unfamiliar with the concept, imagine a baguette-style roll toasted and anointed with mayo and hot sauce, then stuffed with various pig products—in this case, paté, pork roll, and succulent roast pork. The coup de grace is the lovingly applied vegetal matter: sliced cucumbers, hot peppers, pickled carrots, and cilantro. No less a connoisseur than chef Sara Jenkins gets her bánh mì fix here, after grabbing her ticket at Di Palo across the street. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Been searching for the best bah mi in NYC, and by gosh I've found it... in a jewerly shop. Who would have thought? For less than $4 get the pork bah mi and take your first bite. Trust me you wont regret it. Better than Nikki-- larger and taster even. Not really a place to sit down and eat-- just order and go.

Great sandwiches

I think banh mi's are an acquired test and if you like them, I definitely encourage a visit. The sandwiches are quite yummy. I myself prefer the pate and cha.
