I came to their Smorgasburg booth. It was a good sandwich, not amazing and a little overpriced. I did appreciate the vegetarian options.

Amazing Spot for a quick Izakaya / Jazz bar . Love the vibe and I would agree that this spot is much better than Tomi Jazz.

This is such a cute and cozy Vietnamese restaurant, but guess what? It turns into a speakeasy/Jazz bar after 8 pm. The restaurant has really cool vibes. We went for lunch and got the vegetarian Ban Mi, which was large enough for two people. I'm looking forward to coming back for the jazz/speakeasy experience one of these days.

Not gonna lie, I kinda low key love this place and the food. The pork rice bowl was incredibly filling and flavors felt very authentic.

Stumbled upon by Mama's Cupboard vendor at Winter Village Bryant Park today. Mainly based on Vietnamese banh mis, empanada puffs, and different skewers and sauce with a Thai twist. Standard pricing for Midtown West, about $15 to $25 as the range. Can get steep if you decide to get a soft-shell crab sammie or coconut shrimp sammie. Accepts both cash and credit/debit card. Fast service from friendly staff. Once you've placed an order, he/she hands you a small slip of paper as the receipt and then you wait for your # to be called. Got myself a huge-looking grilled lemongrass chicken sandwich for $14...$15.24 with the tax included. The bread stayed crispy from start to finish just the way I'd liked it, even when there was a slab of spicy mayo in between of the sandwich. Nothing had gotten soggy or slimy from the spicy mayo as in texture wise. Didn't hurt my teeth or the corner of my mouth when taking a huge bite from the middle. Another thing, the pickled veggies weren't overly sour as in taste wise. Flavorful and just enough! Now moving onto the grilled chicken, it was tender, juicy and meaty plus flavorful but nothing was burnt which was marvelous! Always loved the freshly taste of cilantro in my banh mi sandwich. Some people might not like its unique odor/flavor but I absolutely love popping it into my mouth before devouring the tasty creation!!! Now, that is what I would call a REAL & satisfying banh mi sandwich!!!

Came here for a pre-dinner snack on a Saturday. The entire restaurant, which is very small inside, was completely empty. A few people came in later on but it doesn't seem to get crowded and is probably more of a local spot. The woman working the counter was very friendly. She took our order easily which was a lemongrass chicken bahn mi. There's a nice bathroom in the back of the restaurant and limited seating. Since the restaurant is below street level, you get a cool view out the window which is lined with potted plants. The food didn't take too long to come out. The bahn mi was delicious! Stuffed with meat and vegetables. It was very savory. I thought it was perfect but one of my sisters thought the bread was slightly over toasted. It wasn't burned just very crunchy which I personally like! Very cute and quaint place and promising food! Wish I got to try more and hope I can in the future.

A really good, somewhat hidden Vietnamese cafe on 53rd St in Turtle Bay. It's on the basement level so easy to miss, but the banh mi here was a fabulous discovery! The sandwiches are packed with tons of fresh veggies and tender meats, and the bread used seems pretty fresh. I've tried the regular banh mi with grilled pork and the caramelized pork belly one and both were absolutely fireeee. And the value is great -- around $13 for a giant, delicious sandwich! The vietnamese iced coffee was also great, as was the service -- the lady taking orders at the counter also served us at our table and was kind and attentive. I would highly recommend checking out this spot whether for a quick coffee/tea or something more substantial!

This was a random Vietnamese place my friend and I stumbled upon. It is located down a staircase and is actually very authentic. We both had bowls of grilled pork with rice vermicelli. They are generous with the portions of meat and big on flavor too. We also some cups of Vietnamese coffee which were excellent too. The place is not fancy and only has three small tables inside for dine in. However, if you are looking for excellent quality Vietnamese food, this is where you'll find it.
