"You’ve got some choices to make at Ly’s when it comes to phở. But even the most indecisive need not worry, because there’s no such thing as going wrong at this Marina sit-down. Go for the beef satay for something with heat, the five-spice chicken if you want a whole deep-fried chicken leg, or opt for the vegetarian-friendly fried tofu bowl. For phở traditionalists, there’s chicken and beef—for the latter, you get to choose what cuts you’d like simmering in your broth. If you’re not interested in limiting yourself to just one type of phở, invite your friends. Getting a last-minute table, even for a large group, is usually easy to do." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
