"Just a few short blocks north of UT, Sip Pho takes the prize for the prettiest dining room in the UT area (there’s also a patio). But it takes more than a beautiful, minimalist space to draw the crowds that Sip Pho does. Don’t be surprised to find a line out the door on weekends—half of them are here for pho and bún bò Huế, and the rest are here for the massive bánh mì. Show up during summer when school is out, and you can skip the wait entirely. Unlike other spots in town, Sip Pho serves its sandwiches on a soft baguette. It’s different, and a little bit sweet, but we like it all the same. Plus the sandwiches here are big enough to make two meals out of." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
