  • replying to u/mcnuccy: in rough order the burrata from casa della mozarella near fordham and the zoo in the bronx (mikes deli nearby also incredible) pastrami on rye from katz’s the dennis from parisi bakery in nolita the banh mi from banh mi co ut in little italy the pig & egg sandwich from C&B in the east village the caesar salad sandwich from l’industrie in williamsburg (don’t think this is always on the menu) the anthony & daughter from anthony & son in williamsburg

    I had one of these recently for the first time in years and the spice level was 0 (like, not even black pepper spicy) and it appeared to be drenched in mayo.

  • replying to u/DoobieLift: Banh mi co ut is the best banh mi in the city imo and a few stores down is Malaysia beef jerky which is also super fire

    Every time I've given banh mi co ut a try: Their bread is hard. The ends of the bread are pointy therefore theres no fillings on the ends. The filling is also already low to begin with.

  • Ive had it twice and both times, the bread was so damn dry and hard both times that it blistered the inside of my mouth after a bite. The inside of the sandwich is easily best I've ever had

  • replying to u/Lankience: I can give you some suggestions, but I want to highlight I am by no means an authority on this. If people have corrections or better places feel free to chime in because I'd also like to try them! Tasty dumpling- great steamed and fried dumplings, really thick chewy dumplings, I'm a big fan. Yi Ji Shi Mo- really little spot for rice noodle rolls, really good for a snack cuz they're small, but very cheap and tasty. Tai Pan bakery- I like grabbing a coconut bun, sesame balls, and my favorite- chinese style egg tarts May way fast food- fried pork chop is dynamite. I was impressed with how tender it was and it tasted awesome. Yin Ji Chang Feng- had a lot of good stuff but great congee here. Went here with a buddy after someone working at a tea shop we went to recommended it. Silk Road Cafe- the aforementioned tea shop. My friend and I split an excellent pot of oolong tea. Nice place to sit down and drink a beverage, will definitely be going back. Mei Lah Wah is famous for their pork buns, they just always have an insane line. If you go at an off time and the line is short, def check it out. Deluxe Green Bo- great spot for classic chinese and chinese-american dishes. This is the first place I ever ate soup dumplings and they were awesome. Right next to Mei Lah Wah Chinatown Ice Cream Factory- a little pricey, but they aren't shy with tastings if it isn't too busy and they have a lot of really fun flavors, the black sesame is a personal favorite. Right across the street fr…

    the one with virginia ham is just flawless in my opinion. their sit down restaurant is also really unique and delicious and not super busy.

  • replying to u/ronimaru: Is it the same pho as the one in "Banh Mi Co Ut" on Elizabeth St? I think it's the same owner but the pho there tasted horrible IMO.

    I've gotten takeout beef pho from both locations and did not like it.

  • replying to u/fearingdragon: Bánh Mi Cô Út is very good and has a nice selection of prepared foods like Ba Xuyên. There are two locations very close to each other

    I did not see it in my bánh mì.

  • replying to u/justflipping: Wouldn’t say unusual, but maybe different when some people think of the typical sandwich - Little Kirin - Ba Xuyen - Banh Mi Co Ut - Syko - Xian Famous Foods and Spicy Village if you count their lamb / beef burger - Tokyumatcha and Onigirazu

    Banh mi co ut is the best banh mi in the city imo

  • replying to u/Lost-Pen-2984: Banh mi co ut, B&H Dairy, Raku

    Banh mi co ut is the real deal. I used to live in Hoi An, Vietnam, home of the best banh mi anywhere and I’ll make a special stop at co ut from time to time to get my fix.

  • replying to u/notanothertim: +1 to hien for the best, it’s pricey but a nice treat Ngl I also enjoy Banh Mi Co Ut’s, for $5 it scratches the itch pretty well

    Bánh mì cô út is probably my favorite bánh mì-only place in Manhattan

  • replying to u/edditvillainx: Aside from Banh Mi Co Ut being a little smaller, it's pretty good. You should give it a try again.

    Banh Mi Co Ut is delicious and a good price.

  • As a Viet person no other Banh Mi in the city comes close as they’re the only ones that bake their own bread the right way.

  • replying to u/hiimomgkek: It mid imo, I like Saiguette and Baxuyen more

    the pork belly from this joint has me wishing they wouldn't toast the bread to a crisp

  • replying to u/VisualReality4495: Tbh, I can’t imagine slicing into this hard bread, filling it, closing it, wrapping it, and cutting it in half and not noticing that it’s not worth selling. I don’t know what went wrong. Maybe they bake baguettes everyday but bring out some from the freezer when they run out. For how serious the owner talks about how high quality her food is, I did not see it in my bánh mì.

    It's been hit or miss for me. Bread always feels a bit stale but sometimes when you bite into it, it just melts in your mouth. Sometimes it's just stale

  • replying to u/JayMoots: I also thought Banh Mi Co Ut was kinda mid. Ba Xuyen is the best I've had in the city. There are two bougie places I've tried that are making surprisingly good ones, also: Diem in Brooklyn Heights and Two Wheels on the Upper West Side.

    I agree banh mi co ut was mid.
