The pulled pork sounds predictable but is by far the tastiest thing on the menu. Make sure to ask for extra hot sauce to douse it in. The coconut shrimp makes a good sandwich to split with a friend.
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 23, 2011Inventive and delicious sandwich shop. Try the Five-Spice Glazed Pork Belly, the Grilled Skirt Steak or the Grilled Portobello – all are served on bread from Parisi Bakery.
- The Corcoran GroupAugust 2, 2011Serving what might be the best sandwiches in town. Try the Grilled Khmer Sausage Sandwich with Market Pickles and the Grilled Corn on the cob. Be ready for really long lines.
Village VoiceNovember 26, 2012Features sandwiches concocted by gastronomes like Marie Batali and Floyd Cardoz, so there is always something off the wall among the list of yummy regulars. Winner of Best of NYC Best Cambodian!
Halstead PropertyOctober 7, 2013At every location in NYC, the five-spiced pork belly sandwich never fails. The thick bread is a crunchy treat of its own and goes flawlessly with the soft pork’s sweet glaze and juices.
Natasha VoraFebruary 19, 2013Maybe the best sandwich I've ever eaten in my life. Veggie s'wiches usually leave something to be desired, but everything about this spicy tofu one was perfect. Definitely coming back for the others!
Best sandwich I have ever had in NY. The bread is to die for as well as everything inside. I personally love the skirt steak, but heard good things about pork and shrimp as well. Corn is a MUST!
Everything's great–second Naveen on the tiger shrimp–but the roasted cauliflower sandwich with eggplant spread is the absolute bomb. Upstairs there's sriracha at every seat (21st century's ketchup).
Grab a sandwich (I recommend the shrimp, pulled pork, steak... actually, pretty much anything) and go upstairs to watch those passing by from a secret graffiti-covered attic of sorts.
TanyaJune 21, 2012The brisket was delicious and tender as can be. Definitely will be back to try the other options as well. Also had the blood-orange lemonade which was refreshing and tangy. Also: Cash only!
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the smoky pulled duroc pork sandwich. Smoky spiced-honey-glazed pork is crowned with julienned pickled carrots, fresh cilantro & sliced cucumber. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011. Read more
Cash only. I eat at their locations frequently and really enjoy the pulled pork and sausage. There's a water cooler and plastic cups available, so don't bother buying a bottle of water
Real Cheap EatsNovember 5, 2012The hulking coconut tiger shrimp sandwich ($8) features a half-dozen shrimp on a toasted baguette with pickled vegetables, a spicy-sweet Sriracha mayo and toasted coconut flakes. Read more
This Cambodian place is my death row meal. Pulled Pork Sandwich w/ spicy mayo and veggies. Boom, Done. Extra hungry? Add a Coconut Tiger Prawn or a Roasted Cauliflower Sandwich.
Tiffany ChiangApril 28, 2012Yummmmmy!!I got the Pulled pork classic bun, the spicy mayo sauce is amazing (not exactly spicy).Watermelon juice doesn't taste artificially sweetened or diluted with… (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
delivery.comJune 28, 2012We LOVE the crazy combinations that go into the sandwiches at Num Pang. Try the roasted salt & pepper japanese yam sandwich!- Apex TacoMay 31, 2014Great sandwiches. Haven't had one I didn't like. Order downstairs, seating upstairs. Not too roomy, but the window seats are a relaxing view.
Jordanne PascualJune 15, 2013Pork belly sandwich for the win! The place is cash only with a small seating area upstairs; but you're better off taking the sandwich with you to a nearby park.
Dane BMay 11, 2012You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. The sandwiches have gotten a little dinky though. So definitely go for some grilled corn on the side.
Mario BataliFebruary 18, 2011tasty banh mi sandwiches made with seasonal greenmarket veg (try the cauliflower one) and an upstairs "dining room" overlooking a rental car garage make this a sneaky fave for perfection
New York HabitatOctober 28, 2011It's all about the pork belly sandwich at this tiny hole-in-the-wall Cambodian spot. Get it with the blood orange lemonade and your stomach will be forever grateful.
I had the Pulled Pork banh mi. It's every bit as nomalicious as everyone says. This is deffo the real deal. Cash only, seating is upstairs a small spiral staircase. Lots of sriracha bottles. Yes!
Hard to go wrong with any of the choices (although I can't speak for the vegetarian options). The bread used for the sandwiches makes all the difference.
Get anything - you won't go wrong. Grab extra napkins too, because you WILL make a mess when you stuff your face. Go ahead, order another sandwich, you know you want it.
Maad BenchAugust 30, 2012Catfish is great, meatballs are great, corn on the cob is amazing! Still need to try the rest. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Best sandwich in NYC. Literally my only gripe with this place is the sometimes uneven distribution of sandwich contents.
Excellent banh mi sandwiches. Pork belly was awesome. I'll be back! Better for takeout given very limited seating (upstairs). (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Juston PayneJanuary 4, 2012The Tiger Shrimp sandwich and Veal Meatballs sandwich are standouts. For a side, order the corn with that mess of sauces and spices dripping off of it.
Jamielynn De LeonSeptember 27, 2011If u love Corn, you'll love it here. The music is very cool and relaxing. For a an upbeat vibe, come in the afternoon when it's poppin!!!
The Wall Street JournalApril 27, 2010Try the pulled-pork. It's spicy and savory with succulent pork, cucumber, pickled carrots, cilantro and chili mayonnaise all on a lightly toasted roll. Sandwiches range from $6.75 to $8.75. Read more
It's hard to call this place Bahn Mi, since it's way more expensive and gourmet than most Bahn Mi places, but it's totally worth it. Try every sandwich at least once.
Dear Foursquare, this is not a Vietnamese restaurant. It's Cambodian. Try the coconut shrimp sandwich with some blood orange lemonade to drink- perfect lunch!!
Brooklyn365August 1, 2011Try the Ginger Brisket Sandwich. This one gets a bit messy so we recommend sitting upstairs rather than scaring children on the street as you devour this in a semi-possessed state.
Kris ConcepcionJuly 19, 2014The best Vietnamese sandwiches in the city. I can never decide between the pork belly or steak sandwiches.
Paul LeeSeptember 29, 2012Try the 5 spiced pork belly sandwich - Delicious! Pork belly is so tender and the pickled Asian pear is good!
I favor the pulled pork sandwich. The tiger shrimp one is pretty good too. If somehow that doesn't fill you up, there are also yummy shakes and tempura-fried pickles across the street at The Stand.
Rafael GonzaqueJanuary 18, 2013The Grilled Khmer Sausage or Veal Meatball sandwich is a great tasting alternative to the fatty Pork Belly one!
Hotin TongJune 18, 2012The peppercorn catfish sandwich—while a bit small—is fantastic. The grilled corn on the cob is also great.
Frances TranFebruary 2, 2014The kind of sandwiches that you dream about... A little bit pricey but totally worth it!
Brook FrazierApril 11, 2013Amazing amazing sandwiches! Pork belly is the best so far and the bread they use is heaven.
agnes chanJuly 7, 2012Solid ginger BBQ brisket sandwich with a good kick and fresh banh mi veggies. Chase it with a nice ginger beer.
Amanda MNovember 9, 2011Pulled pork and coconut shrimp are the best ones, but any sandwich from here will leave you satisfied (and hooked for life!).
Best Vietnamese sandwiches in the area. Vegetarian options, like the tofu and cauliflower, are awesome.
Michael MilazzoOctober 16, 2012One of the better Bahn-mi type sandwiches I've had. The pork belly was really tasty and the bread was pretty much perfect.
Carlos RojasMay 4, 2013Try the Grilled Khmer Sausage (Brooklyn Bangers) - Excellent! Get it with the side pickles
The lines are long for good reason! Everything on the menu is delicious!
The pulled pork sandwich is good, but the real hero here is the veal meatball sandwich. So delicious and more flavorful than the pork. I could eat two!
Ingvild M. PlosivOctober 19, 2012Had their Pulled Pork sandwich my first day in NYC, and that set the standard for all sandwiches to come. So far no one has reached up, so I keep coming back here.- My favorites are the Pulled Pork and the Brisket. If I want something lighter, I get the shrimp or veggie ones.
