"When it comes to phở, table set up can be just as important as noodles and broth. Phở 99 nails that requirement with plenty of fish sauce, hoisin, and Lysol wipes for the unavoidable aftermath of nonstop slurping. Their #7 with rare beef and plump meatballs is a must-order, but the other stuff is great too, including charred short rib rice plates and towering lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowls. And the straightforward dining room along Aurora is perfect for a casual weeknight dinner in your finest sweatpants." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
