"The noodle soups at this Tenderloin Vietnamese cafe are so big that you might fall in. While swimming in some tomato-heavy bún riêu isn’t logical, slurping it down at this cheery, teal-colored spot in five minutes flat is. Yes, get the soups, but also the bánh mì stuffed with fall-apart pork meatballs and specials like the bánh uot chay: perfectly bouncy rice noodle rolls topped with plant-based pork and a heap of crispy shallots. Their hearty portions will fill you up for $15 or less. Note that it’s cash-only." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
