NY Staples

Amber: Very decent Thai food for very decent prices. And cute enough to use as a date spot but casual enough to stop in for a rushed lunch special. All around solid.

Serious Eats: The filling in the bahn mi sandwiches are the best part here, abundant and tasty, the house special barbecued pork version is more flavorful than the pâté sandwich.

Amber: The fried chicken sandwich is great. Add the pimento cheese. Or if you are really a pro, get two of the mini fried chicken biscuits with pimento cheese and hot honey.

Amber: Get the spicy square. Pepperoni for dayz. (Honestly, don't waste your time with anything else, the spice square is why you're here).

Real Cheap Eats: Try the roast pork over rice ($3), "stuffed to the gills with fluffy white rice, a few decorative pieces of broccoli, and more roast pork than should physically fit into the volume of the box." Read more.
