"Noodle soup sorcery is in full swing at Hai Ky Mi Gia. The large longstanding spot does Vietnamese and Chinese bowls with chewy rice or egg noodles, and is bustling at all hours with folks coming in for a fix of the steaming hot good stuff. If you’re having a hard time narrowing down the dozens of options on the menu, go for the noodle soup topped with a braised duck leg. The meat easily slides off the bone and gets even more tender while it soaks in all the broth." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
