Legit but not as good as.... Definitely good banh mi no doubt. However, I wouldn't say that it's the best in NYC. I would say that if you've already made it down to the LES, make the extra trek over to China Town's Saigon Bakery for a more authentic, cheaper, and generously portioned sandwich. The pork is different too - Nicky's pork is ground and is added with slight cream sauce whereas Saigon Bakery is more chunks of fried pork.…
Great place. They make great food! The chicken sandwich is my fav. From time to time the chicken is a little tough, but overall, this place is fab. Good price and great value.
Best Vietnamese. I've been a fan of Vietnamese sandwiches for a long time back when it was a little known side menu item in the court house district downtown. A few places in Chinatown served them but it was a very insider thing. They slowly got prominence from a few foodie articles in the New Yorker and Time Out, and that's about when Nicky's in the E.Vil opened. Nicky's in Brooklyn opened about 6 months later. Anyway, long review short... the sandwiches here (in both shops) are far superior to what you get in the court house area. Fresh baguettes... not hero rolls. Fresh jalape?o... fresh cilantro. The smell of the sandwiches is almost better than the taste, but not quite. It's a delicious olfactory experience. Now they have Pho, which is about a gallon of amazing soup which you drop fresh beef or veg into to steep and then eat... the ultimate winter food. And get some vietnamese coffee. So good. Ms. Dang the owner manager is also incredibly sweet, knows and chats with everyone, and gives it a totally smalltown but NY competent vibe that epitomizes Brooklyn. This place rocks... just remember it's closed Mondays.…
