"Oklahoma City’s Asian District is packed with top-notch restaurants, especially Vietnamese cuisine. Xuan Kim Nguyen first introduced pho to the market in the early 1990s at Pho Lien Hoa, which still operates in three locations under new owners. In 2018, he partnered with his son, David, who had a local food truck. Their four decades of combined experience is why locals pack into Bistro VII for every variety of pho, alongside classic Chinese dishes." - Dave Cathey
