"A queue forms long before doors open on Third Avenue, and for good reason: this no‑reservations Vietnamese spot delivers carefully prepared, astutely seasoned dishes that make a striking impression. The just‑baked baguettes for the banh mi are top‑notch—airy, light, flaky and warm—and the pho is soulful, marrying brisket, tendon, tripe and steak with homemade noodles. I also liked the steamed rolls (bánh cuốn) and the crispy, golden crepes served with bundles of fresh herbs (bánh xèo); bring friends, order generously and crowd every square inch of the table." - The MICHELIN Guide
