- New favorite bahn mi in the city, just delicious. Cub Classic is utterly amazing, with superb BBQ pork, pate, perfectly toasted bread (+ jalepenos). Notice how many quality adjectives were used?
- Jenny WangAugust 13, 2017Unlike some other lemongrass chicken banh mis I've had the one at Xe May was perfectly tender and juicy. The "Hog" was also packed with flavor. They got the art of toasting bread down to a T!
- The cub classic is an absolutely incredible sandwich. Sublime.
- Alex RobertsonNovember 14, 2022Really good sandwiches. Iced Vietnamese coffee and limeade were bad, we agreed. It’s inside the building on the left of the album cover to Led Zeppelin’s “Physical Graffiti”
- Missy MackeyJune 26, 2020Sidecar beef bahn mi sandwich extra spicy on wheat. Very good and only $13 with drink & kind bar. Got it for takeout during covid they seemed sanitary, had a plexiglass wall & contactless payment.
- Rock RainesDecember 14, 2019super cub classic was top notch. My only wish is that their taco offerings incorporated Mexican style meats eg. A Vietnamese version of an al pastor spit would be incredible.
- Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014A perfectly crusty baguette pairs well with fresh and crisp fillings. You can customize your banh mi with one of three different spice levels.
- Anna FrenkelDecember 19, 2012Meat lovers - please please please get the Cub Classic, and make it spicy. It's definitely not a traditional bahn mi but that's what makes it even better.
- Luc DoanNovember 21, 2015Super sub classic aka banh mi dac biet. As blasphemous as it feels to verbally order a super sub here, I really enjoyed the sandwich. 7-8 bucks for a sandwich, cash only. Take it Togo.
- Zayed KhanMarch 21, 2013The Sidecar (grilled beefsteak w/ pineapple chutney banh mi) is one of the best sandwiches in the city.
- I've been coming here for years. If you're not washing your báhn mi down with a basil limeade fizz, you're doing it wrong!
- Fabian MartinOctober 22, 2021Slow service but fantastic sandwiches! I had the Super cub sandwich and it was very tasty
- Gianna NebbiaMarch 30, 2018Oh my gosh. They somehow get their chicken to taste like bacon. One of the best Bahn Mi’s I’ve ever eaten
- Michelle WilesJune 30, 2017Let it sit for a second so the sauce softens the bread a bit. Vegetarian bahn mi is pretty big. Also crumbs everywhere.
- Apex TacoMay 31, 2014Had 'The "Hog"', very tastey. Small seating, friendly staff - next time trying the "Super Cub Classic". Totally paid twice once on seamless, then again on p/u. They called me right after to refund.
- Jinnie LOctober 14, 2014This vietnamese sandwich place is great! the super club classic is popular but my fav. is the hog with iced lychee green tea >_<// so tasty!!!!
- Dina RughaniMay 1, 2015Order the lambretta. It is a perfect mix of spicy, the lamb is cooked perfectly and the bread is perfectly crusty.
- Brooklyn UnitedJune 19, 2013Inventive bahn mi. The Lambretta, a coconut curry lamb bahn mi, is excellent. The vegetarian bahn mi on whole wheat bread is also a great choice!
- Raphael LangenscheidtJuly 23, 2015The Banh mi is exactly what you want. And the spicy lambretta - awesome. They deliver, too - fast and pretty cheap. This place is great.
- Soma RoyOctober 26, 2014Always get The Hog, spicy, with extra meat (that last thing is not on the menu, but I can't get enough of that grilled pork!)
- Nick AndlingerFebruary 23, 2015Get a super cub or the hog and ask for it extra spicy. $9 weekday lunch special!
- Quick, easy and delicious. Note, cash only. Get the hog or pilot sandwiches and a side of the summer rolls.
- Natalie LeMossMarch 15, 2021The lunch special is awesome. I highly recommend the Sidecar, the pineapple chutney is to die for.
- Jenni GreenwaldMarch 14, 2017We go here all the time! The sandwiches are fresh and delicious and super cheap! It's cash only.
- Love the sidecar, but the classic is also excellent. Like the spring rolls as well.
- JDSeptember 18, 2014Don't fear the extra spicy. It's really just "Sriracha" (which you love) + jalapeños + a kicker of chili oil. No need to be a daredevil.
- Malcolm RingJuly 14, 2015Awesome bahn mi, preferred the sidecar over the original. Iced Vietnamese coffee is tasty, leaning towards sweet.
- AmateurConciergeJuly 7, 2015Wow the Lam'bretta with cumin lamb is fantastic. Skip the chicken offering: the meat is a bit rubbery
- Walt WalkerAugust 9, 2016The bahn mi's are delicious. I got the Hog. Watch out, the 'extra spicy' really has some kick.
- Serious EatsApril 18, 2013Newfangled banh mi with pleasing results. We like the sweet and spicy curried lamb sandwich.
- Jack GashiSeptember 6, 2014I go here at least once a week. Xe May is like a star wideout - just get them touches and let them go to work.
- Mild spice is plenty spicy. Go with the lemongrass chicken sandwich for hearty lunch under $9.
- Ashley RoseMarch 21, 2015Agree with consensus- sandwiches are super tasty but light on the meat. Ask for extra if you're really hungry. Got the sidecar
- Marian ElbertOctober 8, 2012I had the superclub classic banh mi which was good, but not amazing like some of the banh mi restaurants in Chinatown. Also I wish the bread had been taken out earlier.
- David MilbergDecember 13, 2016I get the classic sandwich on white bread. So good! The bread itself is so good.
- The fresh basil soda limeade is delicious! Super refreshing and yummy. The lam'bretta is also really really good. Love this place!
- Michelle LuongMarch 17, 2013The mean green vegetarian banh mi is incredible! 2 days later & I am still thinking about how good it is!
- Lizzy SaxeJuly 15, 2015All the sandwiches are fantastic. Especially the classic and the curried lamb.
- Gagan RanaFebruary 23, 2013Best Banh mi in the city. The super cub is superb. Always order with extra Sriracha!
- The Pilot Lemon grass chicken sandwich for $7.50 is a great affordable lunch.
