"This North Park spot’s phở dặc biệt will convince you to immortalize your first slurp as an anniversary in your phone’s calendar. Through some sort of soup sorcery, the broth achieves a perfect light-yet-robust balance, infused with cinnamon and star anise, and just enough sweetness. Aside from the usual tripe or flank steak, you also get a less common cut of beef floating next to the supple noodles—buttery oxtail." - john ringor
