"The #3 at Yummy Yummy in the Sunset is unparalleled. This big bowl of phở tái has a rich dark broth with enough umami to be legally classified as its own type of meat. Paper-thin slices of ribeye cook in three seconds in the near-boiling soup and pair nicely with chewy rice noodles that we would gladly eat on their own. The menu is long, but we always get the same thing, because we’re now in a committed relationship with this broth and we’ve never been stronger." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
