"This New York City Vietnamese restaurant is known for massive bowls of short‑rib pho and other bold, comforting plates; the owners’ cookbook reads like a love letter to Vietnam and their families’ refugee journeys while transposing popular restaurant hits into home kitchens. Standout recipes translated for home cooks include creamy tomato tết noodles loaded with crab, fiery bún bò huế, and the signature Miss Saigon cocktail, and the book pairs approachable recipes with longer, broth‑forward projects and essays on Vietnamese nhậu culture and regional culinary variation." - Eater Staff
