"When it comes to phở, table set up can be just as important as noodle chew and broth flavor. Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese in Shoreline nails that requirement with plenty of fish sauce, hoisin, and Lysol wipes for the unavoidable aftermath of nonstop slurping. Their #7 with rare beef and plump meatballs is a must-order, but the other stuff is great too, including charred short rib plates and towering lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowls. The straightforward dining room along Aurora is small but comfortable, good for a casual weeknight dinner in your finest sweatpants. And though you may have to circle the block a few times since the lot is small, the hassle is well worth it." - Kayla Sager-Riley
