The banh mi and the iced coffee doesn't quite taste like the ones I had in Nam, but it will have to do. I was disappointed that it didn't seem to have the pate on it, and only bit and pieces of pork and a cold cut on it. Putting all the comparisons aside, it was a tasty sandwich in its own right.

Don't get me wrong, this one is okay too but the other one has "Pho Sure" a little pho restaurant int he back. I'm Vietnamese. I've grown up eating pho & banh mi and I've been to Vietnam and had both there. This place has, in my opinion, the best pho in NY. It's hearty and comforting. The ingredients are fresh. the chef gives Vietnamese food a tiny modern twist while still remaining completely authentic. It reminds me of how my grandma used to make it but probably even better because of the superior ingredients (Sorry ba noi!). The beef tongue is also exceptional. The sandwhiches are good. I prefer the original the most. The others I could live without. The pho- I could not!! I can not stop raving about this place!

I had to order a few times and even then, they still somehow mixed up the "eat here" vs "to-go" option. Not a huge deal, but it made the eat in experience extremely hectic. Second, the bagette sucks. I like Nicki's and Bao Noodle's banh mi bread where it's nice and fresh baked. Baogette's was hard and crusty. When I bit into it, it scratched the roof of my mouth. I got the standard $5 pate sandwich and the meat was also just a tad salty for my taste. I drank all of my Snapple and wasn't half way done with my sandwich yet. If you're already in the area, I'd recommend going to Bao Noodles many many times over. The one surprising ray of sunshine out of the experience was the delicious and fresh summer rolls!! Totally delicious!
