replying to u/_TakeTheL: Not sure about pho, but this takeout spot called Saiguette in the UWS makes their bread daily for their banh mi. The roast pork one is the best in my opinion, my partner lovers the shrimp one also.
“their bread is way too airy and soft. there's literally no crunch at all. it's not befitting of of a proper banh mi”

replying to u/2u3ee: It's a big menu with not a lot of seating. So it's always been deterring me from going and ordering a bunch of stuff. This joint will require multiple visits. Added to the go-to list. Thank you.
