[VIDEO] This East Village Shop Turns Pho Into an Unforgettable Sandwich

In this episode of Sandwich City, we’re following Brendan Tran of Little Kirin in the East Village. His pho sandwich is a standout, combining two Vietnamese staples, pho and banh mi, and becoming a shop best-seller after its opening in August 2022.

But success didn’t happen overnight: Brendan spent a whole summer experimenting with bread types until he found the perfect one. And the broth and brisket? They're also cooked with care and attention. Watch Brendan share how the sandwich is made — and his journey along the way.
