"Of all the casual Vietnamese restaurants in North Brooklyn, this is the one. The phở broth doesn’t lean heavily on salt, and is so, so good with just a squeeze of lime. Beyond the soups, bún bowls, bánh mì, and a particularly bubbly version of cha gio, this is a good spot to deviate beyond the obvious. The corn with salted duck egg is a fun starter to share, and the way a chatty table went silent but maintained eye contact while eating the caramelized fish sauce pork ribs tells us that they’re something special. Try a basil seed limeade, too." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, arden shore
