Choose a neighbourhood

Plan several shops without crossing the city

Chinatown

Traditional takeaway counters cluster around Grand, Broome, Elizabeth and nearby streets, including Saigon Vietnamese Sandwich Deli on Broome Street. Combine one sandwich with Vietnamese coffee or a walk through the neighbourhood’s food markets.

East Village

Saint Marks Place and Third Avenue offer newer formats, including house-baked bread, customisable fillings and wider sit-down menus. Astor Place and Union Square provide useful transport links.

Brooklyn

Start at Hanco’s on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, compare Banh Mi Place and Banhmigos in Prospect Heights, or head to New Banhmi Cafe on Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights. These are distinct neighbourhoods, so check your route and exact branch before ordering.

Queens

JoJu’s Elmhurst branch sits on Broadway near the Elmhurst Avenue station; Chef Papa is in Long Island City on Crescent Street. They serve different styles of bánh mì in different parts of the borough.

Bronx

Cơm Tấm Ninh Kiều on Jerome Avenue covers the Kingsbridge area, while Sàigòn Cà Phê on Hoffman Street is a café option near Belmont and Arthur Avenue. Check current menus and hours before a cross-borough trip.

Nearby Yonkers

Yonkers is a separate Westchester city, not a New York City borough. We have not yet verified an operating bánh mì shop with a Yonkers street address, so this guide does not mislabel Bronx or White Plains businesses as Yonkers shops. The two Bronx entries above are the closest confirmed additions for visitors travelling south.

How to order bánh mì in New York

Four details worth checking
  • Start with the house special if you want the shop’s fullest cold-cut and pâté combination.
  • Ask about heat because fresh chilli, jalapeño, sriracha and chilli mayonnaise vary by shop.
  • Confirm dietary ingredients including pâté, mayonnaise, fish sauce, pork-based house sauces and shared preparation areas.
  • Check the exact branch when ordering online because several businesses operate multiple New York locations.
