"Ordering nothing but phở at this breezy Greenpoint spot is like only listening to pre-psychedelics Beatles. You’ll be happy, but oblivious to the fact that it can get even better. That’s why alongside your beef phở with wok-seared brisket, or the lighter version with poached chicken, your order should include a few more things, like crunchy chả giò packed with pork and shrimp. This pastel-colored restaurant has been packed since it opened in 2018, and while you could come here for a cocktail and soup by yourself at the bar, the best way to experience Di An Di is with a few people and a large appetite." - sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, arden shore, carlo mantuano
