"If you only have 15 minutes for a meal, you can rely on Phở Saigon. The Midtown location is the type of place you go to eat phở alone in silence. Meditative trance music plays softly over the speakers in this dimly lit strip mall spot. The food comes out unbelievably fast. No one will talk to you (too much). The soup may not blow you away, but it’s utilitarian, and definitely one of the fastest. And sometimes, a bowl that appears nearly as quickly as it's ordered is all you really need. " - chelsea thomas
