Baoguette: Great Vietnamese Sandwiches in Murray Hill, Possibly the Best Banh Mi in NYC

Just finished the classic ($5) and the Super ($7).

The classic was OK, but the roll was huge and doughy. Nothing crunchy to enjoy.

The Super was not super at all. The roast beef was of extremely poor quality; I took out all the meat and just ate the carrots, basil and cucumber. Even though it was spicy, it disappointed.

Service was wanting. Customers waited for orders, while the four people working there didn't pitch in to get them out quickly. The sandwich maker (Mexican? guy wearing a Burritoville baseball cap) worked hard, while a woman took her sweet time making one salad while he pumped out four sandwiches. The cashier rang up three customers in 30 seconds, and then stared at the sandwich maker the rest of the time. Another man sat tapping on a laptop, only occasionally turning around to chat with the Vietnamese staff.

I'm not going back, although I've been dying for a place like this to show up in my neighborhood. Food + service = don't bother.
