"An authentic Saigon-style noodle shop with branches at Pacific Place and Jardine House that recreates a typical pho eatery experience, even down to the plastic chairs outside. Many recipes come from Nguyen Thi Thanh (“The Lunch Lady”), whose scratch-made soups were praised by Anthony Bourdain in 2009; to ensure authenticity over 70% of ingredients are imported from Vietnam. The menu centers on robust Vietnamese noodle soups, and recent additions include the Omni Pork Banh Cuon—minced Omni Pork atop steamed rice noodle sheets with wood ear mushrooms, fried shallots and a vegan dipping sauce—so vegetarians and vegans have options as well." - Vanessa Tai
