The secret is out: the next outpost of popular Cambodian sandwich shop Num Pang will be in Midtown.
Eater has revealed the owners of Num Pang in Greenwich Village are busy preparing the new spot on East 41st Street between Lexington and Third Avenues.
Ratha Chau and Ben Daitz' original location of Num Pang on East 12th Street between Fifth Avenue and University Place is constantly packed with customers chowing down on delicious sandwiches such as pulled duroc pork with spiced honey or the Cambodian classic of cucumber, pickled carrots, cilantro and chili mayo.
The college buddies went into business together after pulling stints in NYC's top restaurants, including Blue Water Grill and Tabla, and Chau was behind Kampuchea Restaurant on the Lower East Side, according to their bio.
Chau, whose mother is Cambodian, named the store Num Pang after the Cambodian term for "bread" or "sandwich," according to their bio.
The store touts its "house-made pickles" and at this point service in its two-story Union Square location is restricted to take-out or eat-in service. It's not clear whether the new location will offer delivery.
