Ratha Chaupoly and Ben Daitz met on the Clark University Campus in 1992. When the college buddies reconnected in New York City in 1998, they were surprised to find that they were both working in the restaurant industry. With Chaupoly at Blue Water Grill and Daitz at Tabla, the two discussed their similar experiences with striving for success in the competitive New York restaurant industry.
While helping Chaupoly during the opening of Kampuchea Restaurant in the Lower East Side, Daitz fell in love with the sandwiches his friend had created based on his mother’s Cambodian-style cooking. More than ten years later, the pair opened the original Num Pang Sandwich Shop in Union Square.The 2nd location opened 140 East 41st Street, near Grand Central Terminal.The 3rd location opened at 1129 Broadway @ W.25 St. The 4th location inside Chelsea Market opened May 6th with more locations coming soon.
