Mooncake Foods (Octopus With Spinach Noodles and Smoked White Fish Salad Sandwich)

Posted on September 22, 2010 by mheusler

Mooncake Foods is sort of like in Asian diner that resides the border of Soho and Tribeca. It’s very fairly priced and everything they make is excellent. I’ve never had anything bad there and for the most part, every dish is under $10. The octopus with spinach noodles is a refreshing steal at $8.95. The [...]

Baoguette (Classic Banh Mi Sandwich)

Posted on September 2, 2010 by mheusler

I don’t think the banh mi sandwiches at Baoguette are better than they are at Paris Sandwich and Vietnam Banh Mi So #1 but they are better than anything else that you’re going to get North of Houston street. This sandwich is from the location on 26th and Lexington but Michael Bao now has about [...]

Sau Voi (Roast Pork Banh Mi, Noodles WIth Shrimp and Shredded Coconut Cake)

Posted on July 8, 2010 by mheusler

The Mecca. Well maybe not exactly the Mecca but Sau Voi was the first spot in Manhattan to start selling banh mi sandwiches which means that they deserve royalty checks on a Dr. Dre type of level.  However, just cause you’re the first certainly does not mean you’re the best and that is a perfect [...]

Pho Bang (BBQ Pork Bun & Vietnamese Iced Coffee) (Max’s Pick))

Posted on April 14, 2010 by mheusler

(Max’s Pick will now be used to denote something that I highly recommend whether it be a restaurant, product, cocktail etc. It will be used only for things which I believe to exceptional and feel comfortable recommending to anyone) It’s funny because when I first went to Pho Bang about 8 year’s ago on a [...]

New Chao Chow (Chicken Curry Soup & Beef Stew Noodle Soup)

Posted on March 17, 2010 by mheusler

You know how every once in a while you eat at a restaurant and you’re so happy with what you ordered that you want to come back and eat through the menu? That’s how I felt about New Chao Chow the first time I was there. New Chao Chow  is one of few restaurants in [...]

Asia Grill (Bo Luc Lac And Curry Thit)

Posted on December 15, 2009 by mheusler

When it comes to Vietnamese food I prefer to frequent the small spots in and around Chinatown at which you usually have to eat at a communal table, my favorites being Bo Ky and Pho Bang. Next to where I live (somewhere on the Upper East Side/Midtown East) there has been a huge space directly [...]

Baouguette Cafe (Chicken Bun)

Posted on September 23, 2009 by mheusler

There aren’t many places I go to fulfill my Vietnamese food cravings. My two usual suspects are Pho Bang on Mott Street for pho, bun and bbq meat over rice and Banh Mi So #1 on Broome street for banh mi, fresh coconut water and freshly prepared dumplings and noodles to take home. I’ve visited [...]

Paris Sandwich (Dragonfruit Juice And House Special Banh Mi)

Posted on August 26, 2009 by mheusler

I’ve always felt like the banh mi at Paris Sandwich’s were not up to par with other offerings around the city. First of all the actual restaurant feels like the branch of a chain located in Chinatown. The # 17 at Paris Sandwich is a Buffalo Chicken Baguette and I cannot see that offered at [...]

Viet-Nam Banh Mi So # 1 (House Special Banh Mi)

Posted on June 6, 2009 by mheusler

This is where my banh mi love started, the little shop on Broome Street. Ownership has changed over the last couple of years and quality has slightly dipped.  I’m not sure if they still make the best Vietnamese sandwich in the city (Baoguette and Nicky’s offer up serious competition and I’ll be visiting them both.)
