Banh Mi is everywhere: Home S

MOD · January 2010

The buzz last month about a banh mi joint opening on 5th Avenue between 5th and 6th streets was on the money. On Friday, a place called Home S opened in the storefront next to Willie's Dawgs. All banh mi (classic, pork chop, chicken, etc.) cost $6, and bubble teas start at $3.75. There's no pho on the menu, but a guy working there said there's a possibility it might eventually show up.

Yep, it opened right next door to the new pizza place, got to try both of them. Excited to have a pizza place on 5th Avenue again. And, no, I don't like the pizza at the place on 3rd Street right off of 5th Avenue, blech

LTS - did you like that new pizza place - I didn't like it much - too me it's only a convenience if I'm on the way home and I'm hungry (something quick and cheap)

enough of the banh mi - when are we going to get some pho or a decent noodle shop?

Well there is the ramen/noodle place on 4th and Degraw. Everyone loves it so far.

Haven't been yet, when I walked by the other day, I had too much going on to stop in. What didn't you like about it? Too saucy? Crust too thick? I'm curious

this place is excellent.

and as it states above: "There's no pho on the menu, but a guy working there said there's a possibility it might eventually show up."

Had ZUZU when it first opened, quite expensive but if you don't want to travel to the city its good enough.

LTS, it was just a typical greasy pizza joint (and the pizza was swimming in grease) - and it just didn't seem fresh. Again, it was a couple of bucks for a plain slice and I woudl stop there for a quick slice to go if I was really hungry, but that's about it. I'd rather spend the extra few dollars and get a hot dog at Willies. I wouldn't even consider getting a pie from them for dinner.

Are you sure you didn't order the "Grease-Lover's Special?"

Went to Home S (what's up with that name) this weekend. Tastes just like every other banh mi place. So if you like banh mi you won't be surprised. They were a lot quicker than Hanco's. I'll give them that. But still no Vietnamese Meatball sandwich...just the basics.

We really like zuzu, don't find them pricey at all and they do a "kid's ramen" which is great if you have, well, uh, kids, lol

I was blown away by Zuzu... liked the ramen and broth much better than at Momofuku... the music was much too loud for my taste (yes, I'm old!).

zuzu is a park slope secret, but it shouldn't be.

it could stand on its own with the manhattan noodle places, for sure.

happy to have it in the 'hood.
