"Some of our favorite banh mi in New York can be found at Ba Xuyên. This casual takeout operation offers an impressive 11 styles of banh mi. We recommend the banh mi pate thit nguoi, with six layers of meats, or banh mi ca moi, featuring canned sardines in a vinegary chile sauce. After ordering, head to Sunset Park." - Eater Staff
"Take one look at the bánh mì thịt nguội from Ba Xuyen, and you’ll feel some things. Of course, there will be anticipation. How could there not be with layers of pâté, ham, head cheese, pork roll, and pork teriyaki, all dripping with globs of mayo? And there may be a bit of apprehension as you wonder how all of these different meat products could possibly work together. But just take a bite, and then you’ll experience something else: joy, which is only intensified by the fact that this mass of delicious, expertly organized ingredients only costs around $7.50." - will hartman, willa moore, hannah albertine
"The bánh mì at Ba Xuyen in Sunset Park makes the leap to superstar status thanks to what’s between the bread—layers of pâté, ham, head cheese, pork roll, and pork teriyaki, all dripping with globs of mayo. For around $10, you can get the bánh mì plus a side of shrimp and pork-heavy spring rolls, all of which you should eat on a bench overlooking Manhattan in Sunset Park a block away. It’s cash-only, so plan accordingly." - sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, arden shore, carlo mantuano
"Ba Xuyen makes some of the city’s best bánh mì, and all eight of the sandwiches on their menu are $8. The counter-service spot is take-out only, so head to a bench in Sunset Park for your first bite of the bánh mì thịt nguội. Flaky baguette, a world of pork, crunchy, pickled vegetables, and mayo, plus sriracha if you went spicy (go spicy), all washed down with a vietnamese iced coffee. Once you’ve come off the pork high, walk 20 minutes to Thanh Dah, another premiere Sunset Park banh mi spot, and do a highly scientific, side-by-side comparison. The Order: The #1 (the classic bánh mì thịt nguội). Also the #7 (sardine) or #8 (grilled pork)." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
