"Cambodia's answer" to the banh mi craze, this quartet dispenses "damn good" sandwiches "worth standing in line" for, with "more-than-fair" prices and "speedy service" sweetening the deal; despite an overall "no-frills" feel, most report "you can't go wrong" here.
This Chelsea Market outpost of the popular Cambodian sandwich shop blasts hip-hop, feeds good food to the masses, and goes heavy on big flavors. Num Pang's pickled toppings are a light, bright, vinegary complement to their rich, savory meats. I loved the coconut tiger shrimp, five-spice pork belly with pickled pear, and ginger barbecue brisket with pickled red cabbage.
