"The sign outside of Pho Xe Lua sports a kitschy steam train drawing, and the dark brown pho broth brings a freight train of beefy flavor to your mouth. Get the oxtail pho to up the bovine quotient and have fun picking the chewy meat nuggets off the bone. The spicing of the broth is subtle, for those who prefer more cow and less star anise in their pho." - Becky Grunewald
