My first time in NYC and I was told to check out the shop. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich cos the pork belly ran out. The sandwich was quite good. But my first reaction was that I felt the meat could have been a little more. Also I wasn't expecting carrots either my pork. But it worked with the sandwich. Kicking myself for not trying out the peach and bacon sandwich. Maybe I'll go back for it in a few days.
grabbed a sandwich here once and the place was crowded since theres a lot of customers and the place is quite small.but anyhow,i enjoyed it much,its freshly made..!the price is reasonable knowing how big the portion is.and its very tasty and lots of flavors.
Must-try!

The sandwiches at Num Pang are delish. With a glut of Vietnamese banh mi from so many places, it was a breadth of fresh air to sink my teeth into a roasted cauliflower (yes, that's right!) sandwich with an eggplant paste that was brimming with flavor. Any Goan would be excited about the pulled pork flecked with honey sandwich. One special sandwich created by restauranteur Jean-Georges Vongerichten was a big hit and one that I still dream about was a chicken salad with so much spicy flavor that I went back to have it again. What is appealing about eating here is that each and every ingredient and that includes the bread is top notch. Hence, flavor between sliced bread. There are also sides like grilled corn and salads but I find the sandwich so filling that I have not had the chance to taste those. This place, which has several branches, should be on your go-to list.
The sandwiches look pretty good. Its pretty much just a to-go place. But they have really good coconut juice that is hard to find. Sandwiches are $7-9 drinks are $2-3
Hoisin Meatball Sandwich & Chilli Corn on the Cob. A really delicious sandwich with a lot of flavors popping, a little messy but so worth it. The corn on the cob, also messy, but so worth it (covered in chilli spiced mayo & coconut). I'm not usually a big fan of mayo but I decided to get over it for these items and I'm glad.
Num Pang will not do substitutions, modifications or alterations of any kind, so be aware if you have picky eaters with you.
The only negative is they forgot our beverages when they handed us our to go order- we didn't realize it until we got the bag back to the office and it wasn't worth it to walk back. Oh well. $hit happens. It was still a really great lunch!
I am addicted to Num Pang. I live in a place where I can eat in a different restaurant every night of the year and not repeat one I eat here at least once a week. The bread, meat, cucumber, cilantro and sauce make every mouthful an adventure.
Good sandwiches but a bit overpriced. Good sandwiches. Had the one with the shrimp. Not much in the way of sitting area. The upstairs has a counter and a bench but getting up there requires going up stairs built for a firehouse.
But in all the sandwich was nice and flavorful. Cost around 8.50 which to me is too much for a sandwich.
Num Pang (Twitter handle: @NumPang ) is a small Cambodian sandwich spot near Union Square. For about $7.50, plus tax, you can get a tasty sandwich loaded with meat. $7.50 may seem like a lot (that's what I thought at first because I was accustomed to cheaper sandwiches in Chinatown or even in Curry Hill's Baoguette), but for the location, it's a good deal. Yes, you can get a similar sandwich at other places for under $4, but you definitely get your taste buds singing with their food. Rewind .. what's a Cambodian sandwich? Num Pang is the Cambodian name for "sandwich." Similar to the Vietnamese sandwich, bahn mi , it is meat, pickled vegetables, and cilantro packed in a freshly baked French baguette. At Num Pang, the sandwiches are made with a protein (beef, pork, veal, etc.), sliced cucumber, shredded pickled carrots, cilantro, and chili mayo on semolina bread. They even have a little kick to it, thanks to the chili mayo. Just be sure to get a lot of napkins - these sandwiches do get a
the pork was VERY juicy. This is generally a good thing, but can also mean that your dining experience may be messy. In my case, I had juice and honey running down every finger and finding its way into every crevice. Even the wet wipes I had received didn’t have nearly enough cleaning capability to completely de-grease my hands. A good hand washing was required, so keep that in mind if you are grabbing this sandwich on the go.
Num Pang is a very small place but they have a spiral staircase leading to a sweet little seating area that allows for some people watching while you munch. ( i might have seen someone shirtless in an apartment building across the street)
The meat was moist and the bread was not too overbearing, as it can often be with these sandwiches. I thought the little eating nook up the spiral staircase was charming and felt like a little hideaway from nearby Union Square.
One night, I found myself searching for a (super) quick 'n tasty spot for dinner with a friend. I was on a tight schedule, but this was the one mutually free time for me and my friend during my trip. As such, I wanted our meal to be tasty and
I have been meaning to check out Num Pang for some time now. It's another Vietnamese, pardon me, Cambodian sandwich shop near my place.
