The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week - Eater LA
"After months of hearing my best pals rave about the good cooking at 5 Stars Hue, my family and I finally made it there for lunch. On the menu are specialties from the central Vietnamese city of Hue including better-known dishes like bun bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup), as well as less common ones like cha oc (steamed pork forcemeat with snails) and nem lui (grilled pork shoulder skewers). Also on hand are delicate little nibbles like banh beo, banh ram it, and banh bot loc. While most of LA’s Vietnamese restaurants are generalists of the genre, it’s never been easier to get a taste of regional cooking with 5 Stars’ three Southland locations in Duarte, El Monte, and Alhambra." - Eater Staff
