"Located on the second floor of a building on a bustling block right off the subway, this is the kind of place you only find through word of mouth. The entryway is suspect, the space is small and packed, but somehow you’re excited to be there because you know the meal you are about to have will be worth it. Phayul specializes in homestyle Tibetan food like spicy beef Tsaksha, homemade steamed momos and hand-drawn noodle soups. Be warned, their sepen hot sauce is seriously addictive." - Diane Shaw
