"Bánh was one of the best things to happen to the Upper West Side in the last few years, and the wait at prime dinnertime is proof. That’s why we love a weekend lunch here, maybe after a morning in Central Park, when the line for a table isn’t long. Get the BBQ pork bánh mì, or a very star anise- and cinnamon-forward bowl of phở if you need full body warmth after a late fall park walk. The best part is watching the bustle of the kitchen, which runs the length of the room, while waiting for your food to arrive." - sonal shah, willa moore, carlo mantuano, carina finn koeppicus, will hartman
