Wow, this is it! As a proud Vietnamese, I can confidently say that I have finally found the best Banh Mi spot around NY. The taste is simply out of this world, from the juicy meat to the freshly baked bread, everything just hits the spot perfectly! This is a must-try for anyone in the city, and I can't wait to come back for more! 100% recommended, you won't regret it! ❤️

This is EXACTLY the kind of place that Anthony Bourdain would have visited, loved, and endorsed.

You've never had a Vietnamese sandwich? You have to try this one.Their meat sandwich (#1) is smeared with butter and pate. Sweet and sour veggies, cilantro, and a long slice of cucumber on top of savory marinated pork. The only thing that could make this sandwich better is softer bread. It's crunchy, but can be difficult to bite into. It's the best Viet sandwich I've had overall though, because the toppings are unbeatable.I opt for no spice, but typically it comes with cut up chili peppers.I recommend you try an iced coffee too if you've never had one. A word of warning however, you might be jumping off the walls after having one.Bring $9; (+$5 if you want a coffee) they have an ATM in the shop.

Best Banh Mi! This is my go to place for great tasting Vietnamese sandwich. Have tried ones from different places but nothing compares to this. Owners are very friendly, too! They have limited quantities daily, don’t miss out!

Top tier Banh Mi. The bread, the fillings, the fresh veggies, the sauce is all perfect. CRONCH!! The ambiance of the place is terrible, but the food is spectacular. Do a takeout!Vegetarian options: They have tofu instead of the pork as an option. But not all the time, so you just get the delicious veggies then.

This is a good choice for lunch. The bahn mi are good and well priced. Not a criticism, but the menu is very limited so don't go here if you want anything other than a bahn mi.

Best bahn mi I’ve ever had, and the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Will absolutely be back.As a heads up, if there is a line inside it will likely take a while, but it’s worth it.

High quality food, prepared to order by a mom n pop shop. The sandwiches are DELICIOUS! Highly recommend.Wheelchair accessibility: You could probably get in with wheels. However the front stoop could be a tad high. No stairs, just a "step up".

This is the best banh mi I have ever had. Simple establishment and cash only. If you like a banh mi this is the place.

Complete hole in the wall with the good and the bad that the description entails. Minimal, on street parking, small menu, cash only, fantastic food.

This place deserves Michelin stars. It's that good. I don't mean this lightly too; I'm not a bahn mi expert, but I've had my fair share of viet sandwiches and this is the best one I've ever had, which I certainly didn't expect in Syracuse. I will occasionally plan weekend trips with excuses to drive to Syracuse from Utica just to go get the Bahn Mi from this shop, it is that darn good. I haven't had the whole menu, because its hard to deviate from the first sandwich you try since it seems so perfect. Really the only thing I have to add is bring cash and lots of it because this sandwich is nuts.
