"Pho 101 is best known for its oxtail pho. Its pedigree is well-regarded since Pho 101 is the modern offshoot of the James Beard award-winning Pho 79. The family expanded its footprint to what feels like the next generation of a pho shop: The booths are made of wood planks, and the dining room’s exposed ventilation pipes and metal accents give the space a modern vibe that attracts a trendier audience. Don’t leave without trying the crispy chicken with garlic butter rice." - Jenn Tanaka
