The 16 Best Vietnamese Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Of all the casual Vietnamese restaurants in the Williamsburg and Greenpoint area, this is the one. The phở broth doesn’t lean heavily on salt, and is so, so good with just a squeeze of lime instead of hoisin and sriracha. Beyond the soups, bun 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." - sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, carlo mantuano, molly fitzpatrick
