"You’ll have to schedule your phở date with Mắm, but it will be worth it. This tiny Chinatown restaurant rotates through different Vietnamese specialties, and you need to pre-order on Hot Plate to reserve a seat. Keep an eye out for phở days. We’ve spent many a rainy Monday dipping pieces of skin-on poached chicken into their lemongrass chili sauce before spooning it into our mouths with noodles and a flavorful but light broth. Or, look for a phở bo night if you’re more interested in fatty beef and an extra herbaceous broth. Both bowls have wide rice noodles with a bit of a bite, and the meat-to-noodle ratio properly treats meat as the main." - will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, carlo mantuano
