Num pang—Cambodian sandwiches similar to Vietnamese bánh mì—are the star at this tiny West Village sandwich shop, which is packed during weekday lunch hours with both students and suits. The hulking coconut tiger shrimp sandwich features a half-dozen head-off shrimp on a toasted baguette with pickled vegetables, a spicy-sweet Sriracha mayo and toasted coconut flakes. The shrimp are juicy and jumbo, griddled to be crisp on the outside but tender within. The result is a rare combination of high-quality seafood with a bargain-bin price tag.
