Banh Mì Zòn
4.5 (265)restaurant
A tiny Alphabet City counter serving Saigon-style banh mi with house-made meats, crispy bread, and gluten-free options.
Description




Named for the Vietnamese word for "crispy and delicious," this shop specializes in baguettes toasted to have a light exterior crunch that remains easy to bite. The Saigon-native owners build their sandwiches with classic accents like earthy liver pâté, pickled daikon, and fresh cilantro, offering fillings like lemongrass chicken and house-made Vietnamese pork sausage. To round out the meal, the counter whips up drinks like salted limeade, Vietnamese coffee, and lychee mint smoothies. It is a compact operation focused on fresh, straightforward assemblies.
