Num Pang

Union Square·$$

Pulled Pork Num Pang

$14.50

Slow-roasted pork shoulder with honey-soy glaze, chili mayo, and traditional pickles on a baguette.

Tip: The pork is very juicy. The chili mayo is the secret—it's not too spicy but adds a great creamy depth. The pickles are essential for cutting through the fat of the pork.

Saigon Special Sandwich

$8.95

The classic banh mi with pâté, ham, pork roll, and various pickles.

Tip: Ask for extra chili if you like heat—they use real jalapeños that can vary in spice. The pâté is remarkably fresh, so don't skip it even if you're unsure.

Ginger Barbecue Grass-Fed Beef Sandwich

$15.50

Tender grilled beef with a ginger-heavy BBQ sauce and pickles on a baguette.

Tip: The beef is much leaner than the pork but still very flavorful. It's the best option if you want something substantial but slightly lighter. Ask for extra cilantro for more freshness.
