Xe May Sandwich Shop

Editorial Review

For a heaping dose of nontraditional Vietnamese flavors smacked between hot and fresh bread, cilantro, and crunchy cucumbers, Xe May is your destination. This East Village sandwich shop caters to banh mi non-purists with such unusual pairings as grilled meatballs with provolone, coconut curry with lamb, and beefsteak with pineapple chutney. The master of sweet and savory concoctions, Xe May serves salads, tacos, and enough Vietnamese speciality drinks to flush down two or three sandwiches (tempting). The best part: its $8 lunch special - sandwich, bag of pretzels, and a drink - is da bánh!
