"Blossom is one of the more vibrant Vietnamese restaurants on the Westside, with a cute narrow dining room, booming sidewalk dining scene, and solid selection of wines. Any pho here is good, but the pho duoi bo (oxtail) and pho tai (rare steak) are favorites — unless you’re sick, then maybe you want to go for the golden pho ga, or chicken soup. Supporting bun (rice vermicelli salad) dishes and rice paper-wrapped spring rolls complete the picture." - Nicole Adlman
