Definitely good banh mi no doubt. However, I wouldn't say that it's the best in NYC. I would say that if you've already made it down to the LES, make the extra trek over to China Town's Saigon Bakery for a more authentic, cheaper, and generously portioned sandwich. The pork is different too - Nicky's pork is ground and is added with slight cream sauce whereas Saigon Bakery is more chunks of fried pork.
Pros: Delivers decent, solid sandwich
Cons: Wouldn't say it's the best
