"This micro eatery in the East Village specializes in reinvented Vietnamese food, sometimes with Japanese twists. Sure, there are great breakfast sandwiches — including one called hangover cure with bacon, Spam and hash browns— but the unholy marriage of pho and banh mi into a pho short rib sandwich ($15, broth for dipping $3 extra) is more delicious. It almost seems like a Vietnamese take on a Philly cheesesteak that has lost its cheese, but better, with layers of beef deliciously zapped with onions, scallions, shallots, and cilantro with a kick of sweet hoisin." - Robert Sietsema
