"The awning of this Othello lunch counter has the words “Bún Bò Huế” written so large one could almost mistake it for the name of the restaurant—and it might as well be. The casual spot makes the best spicy noodle soup in the city (and for under $13). It’s smoky and umami-filled broth is filled with bouncy housemade pork sausage, and any spice lovers out there should take full advantage of the chili oil stationed at every table. A warning that the space is small, and on weekends, there's a good chance you will be in a cramped line with other people trying not to make direct eye contact with someone slurping noodles. But the wait is worth it. " - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
