One of the best Banh Mi's I've tried in the city! It was filled with so much meat and toppings and the bread was perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft inside. I placed an order for in store pick up, and my order was ready within a few minutes. The price is reasonable! I'll definitely be back again if I'm ever looking for a quick lunch.

Great lunch spot! Loved the Hog (pork sandwich). Tasted fresh and was filling. Got the lunch special (sandwich + drink + chips) for ~18 and felt like it was a good deal!

Cold sandwiches awaits your visit at this hole-in-the-wall in the East Village. I tried the recommended super cub classic: BBQ pork, headcheese, pork roll, paté. It was pretty good. Staff was helpful and friendly. Definitely a neighborhood staple.

Love the place. It's small. whenever I get a yen for a Bahn Mi this is the place the other is Saigon on Broom. I have a frequent user membership card. No photos of sandwiches, I usually get them to go.

I read so many good reviews so I decided to venture out and grab one for the flight home. It was good but pricey. The bread is toasted just right.

I needed a quick last second lunch spot and found this local gem on Yelp. Yes, Yelp loves them! When I arrived it was empty, but not too soon after there were five people in line behind me. It's a takeout restaurant. You'll walk down some stairs into a cozy basement restaurant situation and order your sandwich. I opted for the lunch special and got a delicious iced lychee green tea, salt and vinegar chips, and the super cub classic sandwich. My order came out pretty quickly. There isn't seating available here, but you can take your lunch to a park nearby. My drink was so refreshing for a hot day. It was just the right amount of sweet. I also enjoyed my warm delicious bahn mi sandwich. I highly recommend checking this spot out.

We were on the road and I was hungry for something quick. Luckily, my boyfriend found this spot. Note this was a grab and go place. From the looks and name of it, I was intrigued if the Super Cub Classic Sandwich ($13) was going to have a deli sandwich twist. It even has head cheese in it, and not me thinking it meant cheese that I needed a Lactaid for. The sandwich was delicious. It was hard to tell there was head cheese inside, being how easily the taste was able to blend in with typical Viet ham. The bread was crisp, yet doesn't bother the roof of my mouth, like they sometimes do. One gripe was their chili mayo. The sauce was great, just a tad on the salty side, and it looks like there was black pepper on it too? For a unique spin on the #1, this was an enjoyable banh mi meal. I'm happy for the intro and would go back whenever I need another quick meal.

If you're looking for a delicious banh mi sandwich, look no further than Xe May Sandwich Shop! I recently visited this charming little spot and had a delicious banh mi sandwich. The only thing that's keeping me from giving this place 5 stars is the price (it's a bit on the higher end - $14 for the Hog - and I'm probably too anchored to some of the amazing banh mi sandwiches I could get in SoCal for $6 or so). The bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the fillings were fresh and bursting with flavor. I tried the "Hog" which was a grilled pork sandwich with scallion oil and fried shallots. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the vegetables were crisp and fresh. The pickled carrots and daikon added a tangy, refreshing touch that perfectly balanced out the flavors.

Had a chance to visit this weekend after having a banh mi craving for some time. I grew up living off of Lee's Sandwiches in CA and I really miss the days of $2 banh mi's. Those definitely don't exist anymore. Xe May is a tiny little hole in the wall that appears to only do takeout (and delivery?) post-COVID. When you go in, they caveat to you that the order will take 15 minutes. I was iffy about this and thought about leaving but then decided to just commit. Did not check to see how long it actually ended up taking but unoccupied waits made it feel longer, if I have to be honest. The prices are fairly steep - $14 for the Hog (Grilled Pork, Fried Shallots, Scallion Oil, Chilli Mayo), which was what we got. The sandwich itself was quite delicious since it was freshly made and did have a decent portion size. I don't have too much to compare it to in the city, so I will now be seeking other banh mis to compare this to!
