Here's the thing about Lee's Bakery...it is inexpensive, it is Vietnamese, and it has been dubbed THE place to get banh mi sandwiches in America by the New York Times. So, it's only fitting that this hot spot tops the list.

Rumor has it that Northern China Eatery is THE place to get dumplings. If you've ever had these pillowy, chewy, scrumptious tasty treats, then you need to visit this spot. Did we also mention that Sweet Hut was right across the street? Because that's just kismet if you ask us.
