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 [...]

(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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.) [...]
