"Come to this West Passyunk Vietnamese daytime spot on a Monday at 2pm and you'll see a room full of restaurant industry people, bands on tour, college students, and everyone else in South Philly who knows the power of Nhan's bún bò huế. The classic, bright-red soup from the owner's hometown balances pungent star anise, lemongrass, fish sauce, and Sichuan chilis, with fatty brisket, pig's feet, and housemade blood cubes. Throw in a limeade and an order of crispy chicken wings, and you'll be converted to a regular in no time." - alison kessler, candis mclean
