"Twenty Pho Hour claims to be America’s first 2D noodle bar, which turns out to mean eating in a space that feels like a comic strip, thanks to the black-outlined furniture and sketches of flowers, cityscapes, and sea creatures covering the walls. The actual reason to come here, though, is the flavorful phở broth, swimming with oxtail, dumplings, ramen, and more. Several dishes—particularly the Korean fire noodles, which come with a no-refunds warning—pack some serious heat. Despite the name, they’re open till 3:30am on weekends, so not quite 24/7." - Cheryl Rodewig
