"It’s hard to find this restaurant tucked-away in a CID strip mall, but it’s often crowded inside with people looking for an excellent lunch during the work week. If it’s cold out and you’re tempted to get the phở, take a beat. You’d be missing out on more exciting options, like the coconutty bánh khọt or the lemongrass tofu (our favorite). The tofu is rubbed with an herby spice mixture, has a terrific char from the grill, and somehow tastes meatier than the beef or pork." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
