Just for the record, that cite above is from Wikipedia, which, held within the website, is a collection of other peoples explanations of a Vietnamese Sandwich. Don't want to be accused of stealing.

Hm, yeah funny!

See Mpmav, you're almost getting it - linking to something is fine - but if you take what they say on wikipedia and pass it off as your own prose, then you have to cite your source, get it?

Don't worry, tomorrow's a new day.

Smashbrother, you're being an ass... as you were the last time you "contributed" to this site.

Subject: true

true, true. sorry all.

wow, yeah! YIPEE!

Okay, Hanco v Ba Xuyên . . . discuss.
(Ba Xuyên is in Sunset Park, 8th Ave and 42nd St, and is amazing. They tend to close/run out of bread by 6:30 -7pm, but if you can get there for lunch it's a beautiful bahni mi day.)

Ba Xuyen is way better and cheaper.

also Saigon Express on Mott st in chinatown is amazing as well.

Anyone have an update on Hanco's?

Ooh, I had forgotten about this - my recent layoff just got a lot less painful!

I can't wait until they open! I used to live in Cobble Hill and ate there all the time. The shredded chicken sandwich with bubble tea (minus the tapioca balls) is my favorite seven dollar meal! Woo-hoo!!!!

I love Nicky's. There's one off 1st & 1st in nyc, and another on Atlantic. I love em all!

Agreed! Nicky's on Atlantic is really great. I'm just happy to soon have an option here in the slope.

I finally made it to Nicky's on Atlantic, and found them to be distinctly ungreat compared to the Sunset Park places. The coffee was right on, but the regular #1 sandwich was not sublime.
I am a devoted fan of bahn mi. These were just okay sandwiches.

Specifically, Spicy order was not spicy, and the meats were meh. The pickled veg wasn't even as good.

Not that I wouldn't go there anyway . . .


but Ba Xuyen and the tiny place below Canal St are waaaaaaay better.

Something must have gone wrong then...maybe the regulars were sick and they had a temp making your sandwich, because if you ask for spicy they can usually burn your face off.

I WANT HANCO'S!!!!!! I have started walling on the other side of the street to avoid salivating when I walk in front of the sign. When, people!!!!!!!!!

Bah!!!!! I want to pick it up on the way home, not ride an hour to get it! Mmmmm bubble tea with vodka!!!!

You got it!!!!
