Great food. Generous portions!
Loved this place! Made it in time for happy hour and the $3 buns were amazing—especially the five-spice pork, which was super tender. Great aesthetic and friendly staff. Would definitely come back!
Limited choice, pork is good
Ban Ban Shop, located across from Columbia University, is a charming fusion restaurant offering dishes like banh mi, baos, rice bowls, maki rolls, and grain bowls. Highly recommended for its tasty food under 15 dollars, it features a nice decor and friendly staff. The Five Spice Roasted Pork, whether in a grain bowl or banh mi, is tender and well-marinated. The rice bowl and overall atmosphere receive positive remarks, though the banh mi baguette could be crispier. Customers enjoy flavorful options like the lemongrass flounder sandwich, roasted sweet potato steamed buns, and shrimp maki roll, all praised for their freshness and crispiness. The casual vibe makes it a great spot for a quick, satisfying meal, especially during happy hour when bao bun sandwiches are just $3 each. Vegetarian options, including pork and tofu sandwiches, are also available with generous portions and tasty bread. Takeout is fast, making it a reliable choice for a casual, enjoyable dining experience.
