NG Cafe

The 13 Best Banh Mi Sandwiches In Austin

"Longtime fans of bánh mì in Austin might remember Ng BMT, a spot that bounced around to different locations before closing in 2016 for a few years. They've since reopened as NG Cafe in North Austin. The sandwiches are smaller and more compact, with a generous layer of pâté and housemade mayo. But the bread—a toasted French baguette with a crispy exterior and a soft center— really brings it all together. We’re big fans of the classic here, with Asian ham and pork head cheese, but the shredded pork skin version is a close second favorite." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
