Eccchhhhh bubble tea. It's like tea with eyes.

Medium original, and it is hot and much better to eat right away.

7th Avenue at the corner of 10th Street. Can't wait for them to open! And LOL re the 'tea with eyes' comment!

sweet. this is deterring me- give us an update!

PM'd you.

tried to anyway, hope i did it right

really good. got there at 12:50 was served at 1:15. me and a friend got 2 classic sammiches spicy style. very tasty, but they put all the spicy in like one spot of the sandwich.

their numbering system was a little whacked, it went like 18, 23, 19, 24.

when i left at about 1:35 there were at least a dozen people waiting. looks like i just avoided the rush.

how are the prices?

Sandwiches are $7, bubble tea was $4 / $4.75.

But I'm still a bit hungry, there should be more side dishes.

Wow - that was some damn tasty Bahn Mi! Husband and I split a classic and a shredded chicken, both spicy. Those peppers will set your mouth ablaze. They are by far the largest Bahn Mi I've ever had, so you are getting more for the higher price. We also got a rice vermicelli, a summer roll and a garden roll, all of which the kiddo took part in along with her bubble tea. The rolls are huge and the vermicelli plenty to split three ways. The flavor explosion in each can't be beat. Savory, sweet, tangy, spicy, evolving bite by bite. Perfect food.
I called in my order and it was waiting for me by the time I walked the three blocks - they do deliver, but I like a solo stroll after a day of family time.
My husband and I both cook, a lot, and rarely order in, but I can tell you right now that we will be gleefully ordering Bahn Mi once a week for the foreseeable future.
The phone number, which I couldn't find on line but got by calling the other location, is 718-499-8081.
fyi - while the other location takes cards, this one is currently cash only.

OK, I have got to go and try this now, maybe tonight.

Really? They are pretty tiny by my standard. I agree they are good but I think they are quite expensive and about half the size of more authentic chinatown Bahn Mi. I think the price, while on the expensive side, is worth not getting on the train though. Anyone try the salads yet, they looked good and of a reasonable size.
