"Don’t expect to order any phở at the Vietnamese spot Anh Hong—they even have a “No Pho!” sticker on the door as a not-so-subtle reminder. Bánh hỏi is the focus at this casual big group restaurant in the Outer Richmond. These life-changing, make-your-own rolls combine fresh ingredients with just the right ratio of smoked meats and tangy sauce. They’re served with a heaping plate of mint, basil, bean sprouts, carrots, cucumbers, and loads of fish sauce. There are eight different fillings, but we like the grilled shrimp with a nice char and the slightly sweet grilled pork of the nem nướng the best. And make sure to also get the excellent bò tái chanh on your table." - Ricky Rodriguez
