"This Houston stalwart is a reliable choice in EaDo, with classic Vietnamese dishes and a popular BYOB policy. Start with the pulled duck salad, served with ginger sauce; then, savor the flavors of the bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup) paired with a Vietnamese iced coffee on the side for the ultimate cool-down. Dine on weekends before 2 p.m., when plates of sizzling bit tet are served with crunchy French bread for between $6 and $10, depending on the order." - Brittany Britto Garley
