"The baguette that Thanh Da uses for its bánh mì is so good you could fill it with any old cold cuts, and it’d be a pretty good sandwich. Of course, this Sunset Park spot goes a different direction with their fillings, using creamy pâté, a thick stack of chả lụa, and a bunch of crumbled BBQ pork. The result is one of the best sandwiches in the city. Get at least one, as well as the bún thịt nướng that comes with thin strips of intensely rich grilled pork over vermicelli." - sonal shah, willa moore, carlo mantuano, carina finn koeppicus, will hartman
