"This Bernal Heights favorite garnered a following for its big bowls of savory, generously meaty pho. Beyond that, the restaurant specializes in the home-style cuisine of the southern Bac Lieu province, and it serves a wide range of dishes not commonly found at the city’s Vietnamese restaurants: shrimp-topped banh khot; bun bo Hue; hu tieu nam vang; and, especially, bun mam, the umami-laden noodle soup famous for its pungent hit of fermented fish paste." - Paolo Bicchieri
