can anybody recommend some of their favorites in murray hill?

Great Sichuan on 3rd Ave. and 26th St. would work for you. There's a long thread here -

I only ate there once (so many restaurants, so little time) but I liked it fine.

Mad for Chicken is a few blocks away.

Are you also interested in Japanese/Sushi?

+1 on Phoenix Garden.
They rush you a bit, but still like the Cantonese dishes.

If I am not mistaken Phoenix Garden is BYOB and Cash only.

There are also two banh mi places nearby. Baoguette and Luu’s Baguette.

How is the Luu's Banh Mi?

I've had their buns, which I don't think they make, and they're not always fresh. I've been scared to try the rest.

[kathryn]

Haven't tried it yet and can't compare to, say, Baoguette. The buns sound a little alarming if they are not fresh. What kind of buns are they?

[sugartoof]

Pineapple, coconut, sometimes pork buns, etc.
When they're fresh they're fine.
