Num Pang Sandwich Shop

I have been frequenting this place for only two weeks now, but this place is amazing. If you want to eat healthy food without feeling like you are punishing yourself for your Friday night gluttony, you should give this place a try. Even if you are not specifically looking for healthy food, you should still give this place a try because everything tastes great. The portion size is perfect, filling without making you overeat. I would love to recommend one or two must-try items off the menu, but honestly everything is amazing.

Tasty fresh food, an exceptional place for an inexpensive lunch. We had the Ginger BBQ Brisket and Pulled Pork and both were delicious. Prices between $9 and $12 for the food. The iced coffee was also a nice pick even though I found it unusually sweet. Down side is that there’s not a lot of seats available and space is limited. It’s really meant for a quick bite or takeout.

I absolutely loved this place. It's quaint, but has a nice feel. We stared at the chalkboard menu for a few minutes and the worker noticed, so she offered recommendations based on how much time we had and what's popular (she was awesome). We both got the pulled pork (since it's their most popular sandwich) and it was superb. I don't know if I've ever had a better pulled pork sauce. Also, pretty decent price for NYC and good location.

Yes, this sandwich shop is small-- there's a counter across the room from the ordering area so that you can get your food, pull a 180, and scarf it without sitting down. But the flavors are big! I ordered the five-spice glazed pork belly sandwich and never looked back. I will note that most of the components are on the sweet side, but the tang of the pickles (though mild) coupled with the chili mayo help to keep it all in balance. Just the right amount of mayo on my sandwich, not overpowering or palate-coating. The belly is exactly what it should be in texture, nicely rendered, not tough in the slightest, and the pieces were glazed and shining, with a nice bit of char at the ends. The five spice was very muted, which I could see being a negative for some. I especially loved the pickled Asian pear! I honestly could have just eaten that and the slices of meat; the rest of the sandwich was just icing on the cake.
