"While Cali is king for bánh mì, it’s also the grand duke of phở. Every bowl arrives steaming as if powered by its own internal heat source. Thin, delicious circles of fat dot the broth’s surface coating the entire soup with full, rich flavor. At $12 for a combination beef bowl, this phở can and will fill you up for an entire day, so throw on some stretchy pants if you plan on taking on a large order. " - chelsea thomas
