"At Pho Xe Lua in Chinatown, tables are set with Chinese zodiac paper placemats, there’s a lobster tank in the entryway, and scenes of palm trees and beaches are etched in enamel in the glass dividers. But most importantly, the phở tai always arrives piping hot with slices of rare beef and white onion cooking in the broth. This restaurant is a little hard to find—look for the glowing neon choo choo train in their window. " - alison kessler
