"Recently opened in Boston’s North End, Suasday is a Cambodian sandwich shop." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Arriving in Boston’s North End on June 10, Suasday is a tiny Cambodian sandwich shop in the former Cobblestone Cafe space at 227 Hanover St. I learned the name comes from the Khmer greeting meaning "hello" or "welcome," and the restaurant explores the Cambodian American heritage of cousins Jessica Chiep and Menghong Hak with co-owner and chef Ronald Liu. The 300-square-foot counter-service, grab-and-go spot is lined with Cambodian textiles, stenciling and family art, woven light fixtures, wood accents, and a plant wall. The menu centers on toasted num pang baguettes stuffed with fillings such as a kroeung beef curry—made from fresh turmeric, lemongrass, and galangal ground into a paste, braised eight hours with beef brisket and coconut milk, then shredded and paired with house-made pâté, butter aioli, and pickled green papaya, daikon, carrots, cucumber, and cilantro—which Liu says is his favorite sandwich; all sauces and pickled vegetables are produced in-house. Other offerings nod to the North End with an Italia Twist (prosciutto, mortadella, black forest ham, provolone, aioli, pâté, and the same pickled vegetables), a crawfish-salad sandwich riffing on a New England lobster roll, salads, a calamansi limeade, a 16-hour Cambodian cold brew coffee, and pandan desserts such as pandan rice cake, pandan mousse, and pandan custard. There is no indoor seating yet (patio dining is planned for the future), and delivery will be available through third-party apps; initial hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 11 a.m.–2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m.–9:30 p.m., with a goal of longer seven-day hours." - Stephanie Carter
"This little Cambodian sandwich shop from Jessica Chiep and Menghong Hak will serve a variety of sandwiches on toasted baguettes — including an 'Italia twist' that mixes prosciutto, mortadella, Black Forest ham, and provolone with aioli, pate, green papaya, carrots, daikon, and cucumber — along with salads, drinks like calamansi limeade and Cambodian cold brew coffee, and desserts such as pandan mousse; watch for pop-up previews on Instagram." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"I say hooray for Suasday, which brings Cambodian sandwiches to the overly homogeneous North End and promises to add much-needed variety." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
