Xe May Sandwich Shop

Great lunch specials-- try the Lychee Green tea

Banh Mi sandwiches are the new hotness around the city. Xe May has one of the largest menus of the tasty Vietnamese sandwich to be found. Go for the Sidecar, a fairly traditional version with beefsteak slabs, a pineapple chutney that isn’t overly sweet or overpowering, and plenty of daikon and carrot shredded up on a delicious roll. Make sure you get it spicy. The fresh jalapenos and sriracha counter the sweetness of the pineapple and only add to the experience. Go on, be brave! The bread can make or break a good sandwich, especially banh mi, and the bread here is perfectly crisp, but not hard, and soaks up the juices well. It’s a bit hipstery and the space is tiny, so an early lunch is suggested.
