"Pho 808 is one of the many spots for Vietnamese noodle soup near Little Saigon, but it’s the most spacious by a long shot—the big round tables are perfect for zero-effort group dinners. The dặc biệt has a dark broth that’s slightly sweet and highly swiggable. If you’re not in the mood for hot soup, the vermicelli with extra thin slices of caramelized grilled pork is a standout, along with the wiggly bánh cuốn with pepper-dotted pork. More often than not, this spot is the epitome of chill, so you can kick back with your entourage and stay until you become one with your chair." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
