"With its big round tables and ability to walk right in, Thái Sơn has saved us time and time again. At night, it’s great for when you forget to make a reservation for visiting friends and feel like a terrible host. And during the day, when we find ourselves in Chinatown with a need for a seated roast pork bánh mì lunch, it’s our top choice. Or when it’s cold, a bowl of phở, like the #3, which comes packed with thinly sliced beef, brisket, tripe, and tendon. If you pay with cash, no bowl is over $15." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
