So disappointed :(
i just moved from texas to the UES, and i've been dying to get some good banh mi since january. i finally found this place and tried it today. i'm SO disappointed! i got the bbq chicken...it hardly had any flavor, and i think they used the same utensils to make it as they did with something that had fish on it, because a few occasional bites had a strong fish flavor. i won't be going back, and hopefully i can find some good banh mi elsewhere.

Perfect lunch if you're in the area
I just started working down here, so happy that it's right near a vietnamese sandwich place. The sandwich was excellent--the baguette was toasted and crispy on the outside, the filling was excellent, will be going back a lot.

So Very Delicious!
The bbq chicken sandwich is so good and so affordable! The bread is very fresh; crunchy crust and chewy inside. The chicken is very tender. The other ingredients make this sandwich just incredible--a mixture of tang and a touch of sweetness. This is my new favorite lunch place, although I wish it had a bathroom.

Delivery is a joke
Love the food at this place. It was once my favorite spot to order from. But the last 4 (yes, 4) times i've ordered...the food hasn't come. Actually, sorry, one time it came 2.5 hours later, soggy and cold. What's worse is that you cannot get in touch with these people. They don't answer the phone, don't respond to the 'Contact Us' submissions on their website...it's a complete joke. I thought maybe i just hit a bad stretch with their delivery, but it's just how they're running things now. I'm done with it. Seriously, you will be disappointed if you order delivery from this place. Your food will not come, and you will have no way of knowing if there is anyone on the other end of their 'online orders for delivery'...it's ridiculous.

Not recommended
I honestly don't get all the hype. I tried the original and it was a few slabs of cold, unnamed meat thrown on a stale roll with slimy sauce and meager vegetables.

only banh mi's in the area!
let's put it this way: if there was another place that sold banh mi nearby i would prob go there instead. i go here to get the baoguettes because theyre the only ones that sell it around the area. i wish the ones in chinatown were here. quality-wise and price-wise. they charge $5 for a small sized baoguette(compared to chinatown's $4 bigger and more stuffed sandwich). the many times ive had the sandwich it has not been consistent. sometimes theres a lot of pork and other times it lacks. i havent tried anything else because you dont really eat here. its a small place so you walk in and theres a bar seating that can seat like 4 people, literally. its worth a try

Yes!
Have now managed to try the original, catfish, bbq chicken and sloppy bao bahn mi sandwiches here and all are excellent and a good deal. Very tasty and fresh ingredients skillfully integrated into a soft yet substantial baguette. Both this location and the Christopher Street branch are top-knotch (but has to make me wonder why the heck the St. Mark's branch isn't!?)
