"West Philly’s Vietnam Cafe serves a whole range of Vietnamese food like claypot dishes, bun cha, and BBQ platters. But for the purposes of this guide, we’ll focus on their phở. In the version with beef brisket, you get hints of cinnamon and clove, and the beef basically falls apart when you nudge it with a spoon. If you’re into seafood, get the hu tieu do bien, which has a near-infinite amount of shrimp, squid, fishcakes and vegetables in the bowl. " - Alison Kessler
