Description

There are eight varieties of the Vietnamese sandwich called banh mi at Ba Xuyen, which moved across Sunset Park to comfortable premises with more than two tables. Our fave is heaped with meatballs, pickled veggies, and cilantro, and we always ask them to squirt on extra chile sauce. But maybe you'd rather pick sardine or chicken.

2009 | Best Fast Food

RobtS: I've got to admit that whenever I want some fast food, I get on my bike and pedal to the best banh mi shop in town. SarahDG: Hey, you were just telling me about how dull Vietnamese food had become! RobtS: A real banh mi, untinkered with, is still a joy to behold. Luckily, I don't often have to pedal far from the Voice building. My favorite is still Saigon Banh Mi Bakery, which is the place that used to cower in a tiny stall under the Manhattan Bridge. The place they moved in to a... More »
2008 | Best Hero

Robert Sietsema: The best evocation of the famed Brooklyn roast-beef hero is found not in Bensonhurst, but in Hoboken--home of that Portuguese-surnamed singer, Frank Sinatra. Carved from a steamship loaf at Fiore House of Quality, the pink-tinged beef, caramelized on its surface, is shaved onto a baguette, layered with homemade mozzarella, and inundated with brown gravy.Sarah DiGregorio: What is more heroic than a banh mi? The best Vietnamese hero in the city can be had at Ba Xuyen, wher... More »
