"Huong Binh is a standout among the many restaurants at 12th and Jackson, hitting the mark with its intersection of quality and value. The grilled pork, perfectly caramelized, is a specialty, particularly as part of banh hoi thit nuong, where pork skewers accompany intricate bundles of thin rice noodles garnished with ground shrimp and scallion. The menu expands on weekends, when specials include duck noodle soup as well as blood sausage congee served with pork tongue, liver, and ear." - Jay Friedman
