Banh mi requirements: Good, cheap, with seating, in Chinatown
I have a friend coming into town, whom I'd like to introduce to banh mi. I usually go to the one on Broome (I think it's Broome), which is great, but I'd like a place where we could sit down. I recently read about An Choi, which looks to have seating, but it's quite a bit pricier. Any suggestions?

Seconded ... great bánh mì at Banh Mi Saigon.
There's a bench seat up front sans table, and they also have counter seating with perhaps eight or ten stools along the wall on your right hand side. Enjoy.

Third!! I'm actually currently chowing down on my leftover half of a chicken bahn mi from there, the sandwiches are so big that I can usually only eat half at a time! The prices can't be beat either, $4.25 for a chicken bahn mi, and I think the pork version is cheaper. I like their summer rolls as well, and the papaya salad with shrimp is also good.
