Chef Papa Vietnamese Kitchen — Long Island City, Queens

Chef Papa Vietnamese Kitchen adds a full-service Vietnamese option to the Long Island City stretch around Crescent Street. Its current ordering menu includes a classic bánh mì layered with grilled minced pork, pork belly, Vietnamese ham and pâté. That makes it a useful stop for anyone who wants a traditional mixed-meat sandwich rather than a fusion version.

The restaurant also offers pho, rice dishes and other Vietnamese plates, so it works for a group whose members want different meals. For the sandwich, check the menu at the time of your visit: the ingredients and price may change. The Long Island City address is 42-44 Crescent Street, Queens, a short trip from Manhattan but firmly within the borough.
