New Saigon Sandwich

Stopped by on a weekend to check this place out. They have nice appetizers like fried spring rolls, packaged meals, banh mi, bubble tea, and desserts. We were going to eat somewhere else so we just tried the spring roll, regular and veggie. Both were pretty delicious and I believe they can heat it up for you too. There's not really a lot of seating, it's definitely more of a takeout place. But I would definitely come again to try other items.

From the outside, it looks a little sketchy. Just look for the name. There were a couple of people in there, and I asked if they have been there and what they recommended. They recommended bbq beef sandwich. I bought 4 of them, of which 1 was spicy (jalepenos added). The sandwich was DELICIOUS! The flavor of the veggies (fresh) and beef was right on point. Also the bread they used was fresh, flaky on outside, soft on inside. The only thing I wished they added were more meat and veggie. As you can see from picture, it's hard to see the meat. But at the price point, you can buy 2. So 4 sandwiches and 1 thai iced tea cost only $20. For the location, you can't beat that. I am debating whether to go back now and grab more before i leave Boston.

Bahn Mi Heaven Incredible delicious inexpensive bahn mi from this cash only hole in the wall shop in Boston's Chinatown. Some excellent vegetarian options (tofu and fake beef). The Vietnamese coffee (hot or iced) is also terrific. The ready to go fresh rolls are also very very good. If I'm in or near Chinatown, this is a must visit for me. Simply the best.

I love this place for what it is - a very inexpensive way to eat healthfully on a tight budget. Strictly takeaway, they sell their tasty banh mi sandwiches (a Vietnamese version of a classic cold cut sub) for under $4 and they are well filled with fresh veggies and your choice of protein. Don't expect much atmosphere, and they aren't the BEST banh mi in the city, but they are quite good.
