The Great Bahn Mi Phenomenon continues to roll across New York City, and indeed much of the country. And why not? The Vietnamese sandwiches that combine chicken, or steak, or tofu with pickled carrots, cucumber, spicy mayo and cilantro on a crunchy, small baguette are pretty much the perfect lunch--or dinner. The Obao mini empire of Thai and Vietnamese cuisines offers a fine bahn mi and much more: curry dishes, noodle soups, and light and minty spring rolls. For a fast but super tasty bite, hit one of their three Manhattan locations.
