This classic noodle soup comes with a giant onion fritter sticking out of it like a bachelor chilling in a warm jacuzzi, and its chewy rice noodles taste like they just rolled down a hill of lemongrass. I think of it as the comforting, well-balanced, and edible antithesis of this incredibly unstable year, and it’s one of my favorite things to eat in Brooklyn.” - Nikko Duren, NYC Editorial Assistant" - team infatuation
