    Sam S.

    I'm so glad that I found this place near my office because it is affordable and tasty! I got the BTN bowl, which was quite filling, but definitely plan to come back again to try the Banh Mi next time I am craving some Vietnamese food. There's not much space inside, but it's great if you want some carry-out.

    A7 Shrimp Pho
    Amanda G.

    Back in the city at work and starving. I ordered the A7 Shrimp Pho and it was great for the price, with five huge shrimp, lots of noodles and a nicely developed broth. I didn't even have to ask for chili oil. They send it automatically, along with sriracha and hoisin. I wish I received chopsticks and a spoon but luckily my office has some to spare. I only work in the city from time to time, so I didn't know to request utensils with my order. Will be ordering for them again as I have yet to be disappointed.

    Pho Saigon

    Ordered a Pho Saigon. Rare or Cooked Sliced Flank Steak, Beef Shin & Beef Balls. The service was very good , in this small take out place.

    Bun thit nuong w/ Cha gio special
    Jenny J.

    With few Vietnamese options in the area, I have ventured out to Boi-licious to get my fix. Their noodle bowl wasn't bad, and their Vietnamese iced coffee is solid. What I take issue with is their banh mis. I've tried their Pork Belly banh mi and Sliced Duck Breast banh mi, and maybe I still need to sample the classic Banh Mi Saigon, but with my current experience, I'm taking the safer route and heading to Joju instead. The only flavors in the banh mis I've tried come from an overload of salt and black pepper, as well as mayo. As you can see from the photo of the sliced duck breast banh mi, there was not nearly enough cucumber--literally just one stick. (They also forgot to remove the jalapeños even though I asked for not spicy.)

    I was excited to get some Vietnamese food to go. I got bun thit nuong. It didn't quite hit the spot as much as I would have liked. The guy did give me a mango dessert though which was super nice! I would maybe try something different.

    Alisa J.

    Wait time during lunch was long. Decided to try the lemongrass tofu bahn mi with spice. The bread was absolutely delicious and the fresh jalapeños were pretty spicy. The vegetables and herbs were fresh. Overall there could've been more filling. Tofu was good but could've been more flavorful with lemongrass. Would definitely come back ans get this again.

    A3. Chicken Pho

    It was a cold day and I needed warm and healthy, and no line. This place usually has a line of people both ordering and waiting for their orders. They're fast...it's the demand for their fresh ingredients. I had the chicken pho this time, spicy on the side. It comes with a hoisin sauce and siracha packet, with enough spicy sauce to light you up. The broth is well wrapped in a smaller container. The protein and fresh onions, noodles and fresh green seasoning layered in the main bowl. I rush back to the office to mix it up and always feel satisfied and like I made a good choice. The staff are polite and efficient. I've had their bah mi in the past and it's good too...worth a good lunch. Price was about $12. This is a carry out place, no room to sit.

    Taro coconut milk tapioca pudding
    Lailah J.

    Absolutely superb!! I would've mistaken this hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese takeout joint for a cell phone shop and walked on by if it weren't for Yelp. Located on E. 44th off to the side of Grand Central station with an unassuming store front, this place makes some of the best banh mi in the city! The guy minding the counter told me the Banh Mi Saigon is his favorite sandwich here so that's what I ordered, and it did not disappoint! The bbq lemongrass pork rice box is also terrific, with tender and flavorful pork slices, served with a zesty sauce (your choice of dressing - I picked sesame basil). My toddler and I devoured the creamy taro tapioca pudding. I'm eager to try the pho, bun bo hue, coconut soups, and ramen next, but if this experience is any indication, I have high expectations of those other dishes too. I just love hidden gems like this - totally unembellished and unexpected, serving top notch food! The great prices are an extra plus.

    C15. Chicken Curry Soup
    Dylan M.

    The takeout spot is a hidden gem. I recommend ordering ahead of time before you go there because there is limited standing room inside and no seating. I had to wait 15 minutes since I didn't order in advance. I got the Chicken Coconut Curry Soup. It was a really good size for a pretty affordable meal. If you are a messy person, I recommend being careful because they serve the soup broth separately from the meat and vegetables.

    Order: - Grilled pork bahn mi (5/5) - Pork summer rolls (4/5) Pros: - Great tasting food. The bahn mi was really filling. The pork summer rolls had a little too much mint for my taste, but was still really good - Affordable. One of the few places in the area where you can get a cheap meal and not be fast food - Quick service Cons: - Small store. Most people wait outside for their food to come out because of how small it is inside. Don't worry; the staff comes out with the food when it's ready Overall: Great place for a quick/cheap meal but great tasting Vietnamese food. I will definitely be ordering from here more

    I love this spot. It's a tiny hole in the wall joint but their pho and sandwiches are amazing. It's a small operation with one guy working the register and one guy in the kitchen, but they're fast and friendly. You can't go wrong with either their pho, curry pho or banh mi. It's a great spot to pick up dinner next to Grand Central. Their banh mi's are huge and very flavorful. The other day, I picked up a banh mi for myself and a breakfast burrito for my girlfriend down the street from Little Collins, and no disrespect to Little Collins because their breakfast burrito is really good too, but take a look at the size difference between the Boi-licious banh mi compared to Little Collin's breakfast burrito. And the banh mi was cheaper too!

    Sometimes the best food you'll ever eat comes from a hole in the wall place in the middle of midtown. It's so small, there is no place to sit so you'll have to be good with taking it out. But for all the small that Boi-licious is, there is a huge stamp of approval for quality and taste delivered in your Take Away Bag. As you wait in line, pay homage to the their little sacred place in the corner. For me, seeing it makes this place much more bonfide. IYKYK. The price isn't bad either. This is definitely that little shop that you'll want to keep to yourself. But don't do that, share your experience outloud so more people come. After all, we wouldn't want this little gem to disappear.

    I first found this place through TikTok, where people were hyping it up in Italy. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.

Google their name and "best" and get hundreds of hits, but the majors who crowned them "best sandwich" title include Saveur Magazine, the big one touted by the family; Eater NY, ranking La Paradiso the most elite Italian sandwich outside of Italy; Las Vegas Weekly, who crowned them "Home of the world's best sandwiches"; TripAdvisor, for whom the Italian original is the most reviewed eatery with a near perfect rating; and The Infatuation NYC guides who promise the execution of the crispy, airy schiacciata bread completely justifies the hype. All 17 options looked amazing, so I spoke to a regular in line, telling her I couldn't decide between "La Paradiso", the most praised (even though she informed me "mortadella is just bolonie" or the Hot Italian, which was more my style. So, I did what any gluttonous American would do and I got both. And a Diet Coke, of course. La Paradiso has thinly sliced bolonie for a savory base, with creamy shredded stacciatella cheese, with sweet but earthy pistachio cream, and a sprinkle of toasted pistachio for texture (that I didn't detect). It was good, but I will likely fuggedaboutit. The Hot Italian had thin, lean turkey, spicy and smoky spreadable Calabrian pork sausage, a balancing provolone, calabrian chili honey, and peppery arugula (that they claim adds crunch that I didn't detect). Were they life-changing? No. But I rank Paradiso a 8.8 and Hot Italian a 10. And because everyone is hard-working and everything is so freshly prepared and cut, it's a class act. They should seriously make a sign that says, "Can't decide? Get two!" and then give me free sandwiches on my yearly trips for the idea.

Why they hid it all the way in the back, I have my assumptions and suspicions. I had to get an order of soup dumplings here so I got the Crab Soup Dumplings ($15).

Soup dumplings was not going to fill me up along, so I got something off of their lunch menu and settled upon Orange Chicken w Brown Rice ($18.50). Chicken was white meat, which is battered and deep fried. It says it was spicy, but it really wasn't. Comes with a vegetable spring roll and a choice of rice, which makes this a pretty decent lunch deal for $20. Menu prices are cash prices. If you pay with a credit card, they will slap a 2% processing fee. Overall, service was pretty decent as well. Would come back again for lunch.
