Ky Duyen - Syracuse

You've never had a Vietnamese sandwich? You have to try this one. Their meat sandwich #1) is smeared with butter and pate. Sweet and sour veggies, cilantro, and a long slice of cucumber on top of savory marinated pork. The only thing that could make this sandwich better is softer bread. It's crunchy, but can be difficult to bite into. It's the best Viet sandwich I've had overall though, because the toppings are unbeatable. I opt for no spice, but typically it comes with cut up chili peppers. I recommend you try an iced coffee too if you've never had one. A word of warning however, you might be jumping off the walls after having one. Bring $9; $5 if you want a coffee) they have an ATM in the shop.

Top tier Banh Mi. The bread, the fillings, the fresh veggies, the sauce is all perfect. CRONCH!! The ambiance of the place is terrible, but the food is spectacular. Do a takeout!

I always get the #4. Best bahn mi in Syracuse! Cash only!

On No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain claimed the Song Que Deli in Arlington, VA made the best bahn mi [he 'd] ever had outside of Vietnam. I ate at the Song Que Deli before it closed; I had their bahn mi. The bahn mi at Ky Duyen completely knocks that other one out of the park. THIS is the best bahn mi outside of Vietnam. It perfectly blends the savory, the sweet, and the spicy together into a mastery of the form. I haven 't been to Vietnam, but it 's quite possible this is the best bahn mi in the world. I will report back after visiting there. If you are a fan of hole-in-the-wall sandwich shops, this is the pinnacle of the genre. It 's located in an old pool hall. There is a cart near the entrance that says bahn mi. They make three sandwiches, which are all variants of the same sandwich. This place is a treasure of Syracuse cuisine, and one of the best things I have had the privilege of eating on this earth. See you next time! She knows you 'll be back, and you know it too.

Wow, this is it! As a proud Vietnamese, I can confidently say that I have finally found the best Banh Mi spot around NY. The taste is simply out of this world, from the juicy meat to the freshly baked bread, everything just hits the spot perfectly! This is a must-try for anyone in the city, and I can't wait to come back for more! 100% recommended, you won't regret it!
