"You might argue that short rib fried rice is inevitably good. We’ll be the first to admit, it tends to have a pretty high floor. But after you taste the version at District Saigon, an effortlessly elegant neighborhood spot in Astoria, you’ll see it can also have a really high ceiling. The caramelized beef, juicy tomatoes, and chili-garlic sauce balance each other perfectly, much like the fatty brisket, bright cilantro, and combination of sriracha and hoisin that come with District's steak phở." - sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, arden shore, carlo mantuano
