About Bada Bing
Bada Bing is a sandwich shop in Manchester, at 125 Oldham St, serving NYC-style deli subs and hoagies under a Sopranos theme. The bread is made fresh in house, so each sandwich starts from the shop's own loaves. The classic Bing comes with giardiniera, and the muffaleta is dressed with gochujang mayo. A lemongrass chicken banh mi appears among the specials. The sandwiches are very large, which suits anyone planning to share one. Lunchtime usually has a queue and Saturdays are busy, though service moves quickly and there is limited space to sit. The shop is open daily.

“These sandwiches are so delicious! They are massive as well so you definitely get your moneys worth, I always end up saving half for another day because even my boyfriend can’t finish it. Very cool place too, it’s really got character. I would 100 recommend this place, me and my friends go a lot.”

“Classic hoagies done right - full of fresh ingredients and super tasty. Nice vibe, good music and not fussy or overdone. We had the classic Bing and the Banh Mi special and both were very good but the classic was our favourite - the giardiniera is so good!”
- Michelle Kostin
“Sandwich top tier (must get chicken Parm) and the larger goes down a treat. Inside bloody freezing from aircon. Also note that the sandwich is big, you can easily share one”

“Reminds me of the kind of energy you see in shows like The Bear! I buzzed off the location on Oldham Street—easily 10/10 for good vibes. The staff are happy, polite, and full of great energy. At first glance, the price point for the sandwiches seems steep at around £12, but they are so packed that it nearly beat me, so I would 100% say you get your money's worth. I had the turkey and avocado, and my son had the spicy Italian one—definitely not for the faint-hearted, and he can handle his heat! I would 100% go back, and I definitely want to try the hot beef and cheese one next!”

“Top. Notch. Subs. Oh my god. We come into Manchester specifically to come here. I’m from the NYC area and I swear these guys make it better than they do back home. The quality and size of these sandwiches is absolutely worth the price. Chicago beef, Caesar parm, and the Bing are all absolutely killer.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come for New York style deli subs, with the classic Bing named most often and praised for its giardiniera, while the Italian sub, Chicago beef and chicken parm also draw strong words. Portions are the recurring theme. Several call the subs massive, one saves half for another day, and another says a single sub is easy to share, so most feel the higher prices are justified. The lemongrass chicken banh mi special divides opinion. One reviewer calls the moist, flavourful chicken the best sandwich they have had, while another calls the fatty chicken thigh with cucumber disgusting and not worth the price. A muffaleta with gochujang mayo gets praise, though that reviewer did not love the provolone. Staff are described as friendly and polite, the bread is said to be made fresh in house, and service stays quick despite a long queue. Complaints are loud music, an inside that feels freezing from the aircon, and a busy Saturday with little room to sit. One diner on a foodie tour named the Italian sub the best eat of the day.
