The 16 Best Vietnamese Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"The East Village followup to the Upper West Side’s Bánh (see below) is ambitious. The bánh mì is baked in batches throughout the day, rice rolls come warm and silky to your table, the noodles are made fresh, and all the cold cuts in their stellar “OG” bánh mì are made by “auntie” at Bánh. For a restaurant that’s casual enough for a weeknight dinner with friends, or a solo bowl of phở at the kitchen counter, that kind attention to detail is impressive, and the flavors are too. You can’t go wrong, but we especially love the tableside chả cá lã vọng with juicy catfish, and the showstopping bánh ướt chồng tower for DIY rice rolls." - sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, carlo mantuano, molly fitzpatrick
