9 Superb Places to Eat on the Drive From LA to San Diego | Eater LA

"Ngu Binh has become beloved in Little Saigon for central Vietnamese comfort food. Sister restaurant Ben Ngu serves the same food with a fraction of the crowds and warrants a quick detour down the 22. It’s definitive Bún bò Huế, Huế-style beef noodle soup, features bouncy noodles, touts tongue tingling spice, and comes chock-full of proteins like sliced beef shank and pork loaf, collagen-rich pig trotter, and pork blood cubes. Mì quảng is another standout bowl starring turmeric-stained noodles, pork, shrimp, fish cake, crushed peanuts, and a crunchy shrimp chip. Ben Ngu also specializes in a variety of glutinous rice flour and tapioca creations topped and filled with ground shrimp, pork, scallions, and fried shallots that make great share-friendly starters." - Eater Staff
