Loading ...Bánh Mi In Chinatown
Posted by Foobooz on February 13th, 2009
David Snyder discovers a faithful version of the Vietnamese bánh mi at Q. T. Vietnamese Sandwich in Chinatown.
Bánh mi enjoys a mini-cult following based on two factors: bold flavors and ridiculously low prices. Q.T. delivers on both fronts. Each sandwich starts with the same base: A large hoagie roll that’s crispy on the outside, yet light and airy in. On the inside, fresh, crunchy cucumber slices lie alongside sweet and tangy pickled carrots, adding cool balance to the bite of jalapeños. But each sandwich truly owes its distinctive characteristics to a long sprig of fresh cilantro and a rich swath of påté. The primary filler (including a tofu option not listed on the menu) is up to you.

went today. nice staff and delicious flavor (though the texture can be a little weird if you get a bite with a lot of pate, but that doesn’t take too much to get use to with that flavor) and i only ate half the sandwich for lunch. now that is a deal!
