After the economy tanked last fall, Jean-Georges alum Angelo Sosa ditched his plans to open a swanky restaurant and instead decided to embrace a more el-cheapo spirit. Say hello to this Asian sandwich shop in Hell's Kitchen (it's pronounced "shay shay" and is Mandarin for "thank you" ). But don't use the "B" word du jour: banh mi it ain't. The sandwiches aren't strictly Vietnamese, and instead pull from wide range of pan-Asian influences borne of his travels from Hanoi to Hong Kong. The proof: succulent hoagies like tea-smoked chicken with egg salad, cilantro and pickled cabbage, as well as the signature Cha Ca La Vong (pictured), a turmeric-tilapia sandwich with dill, cilantro and onion jam. A handful of salads rounds out the menu. Sosa is also set to open an East Village location in the fall. Pit Xie Xie against Michael Bao Huynh's rapidly expanding banh mi empire Baoguette and we're pumped for a sandwich smackdown!
