New York Gets a Taste of Saigon with $28 Banh Mi

People sit on small stools and eat from skillets. This looks like a street food spot in Vietnam, but it's in New York.

The place is called Phe, a Vietnamese coffee shop in Manhattan. It's one of the best new restaurants in New York.

The banh mi toppings are served in a hot skillet, just like in Vietnam.

Phe is related to another Vietnamese restaurant called MAM. MAM is known for a dish with rice, tofu, and shrimp paste.

Phe is named after the Vietnamese word for coffee, but it's famous for its weekend banh mi.

The banh mi comes with a skillet of meat, egg, and cheese. You can get refills of pickles and sauce.

The New York Times said Phe's bread is special and looks different from other bread.

The backyard of Phe has small stools and tables, like in Vietnam.

The backyard is where people like to sit and eat. They can watch the food being made.

The banh mi costs $28 and is only available on weekends. You can't make a reservation, you just have to walk in.

People on social media like the food and the setup. Some think it's too expensive compared to Vietnam.

Phe has a special coffee drink with fish sauce and milk.

Phe is also known for its unique drinks, like the fish sauce latte.
