"The menu at this giant Vietnamese spot is longer than your never-ending to-do list, but focus on the phở, especially the dặc biệt phở kho. The rich, smooth broth is served on the side (it’s practically two dishes in one), and the long egg noodles come loaded up with peanuts, tendon, flank, brisket, tripe, and rare steak. Follow that up with the creamy cà phê sữa đá sweetened with condensed milk for the perfect wake-me-up kick. Just get here early because they close at 3pm and have no qualms about kicking you out immediately—they have a big space to clean. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
