"Nón Lá is a tiny, sparsely-decorated place that should be one of your go-to spots for Vietnamese food in the East Village. Their phở broth leans light, but it’s still packed with plenty of flavor, with notes of star anise and clove.Squeeze in a little lime and hoisin right away. Get the phở with brisket, which is super tender and satisfying." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, carlo mantuano, molly fitzpatrick
"Nón Lá is a tiny, sparsely-decorated place that should be one of your go-to spots for Vietnamese food in the East Village. We wouldn’t bring a huge group here, but it’s perfect for a casual date or some takeout. Start with the minced pork and mushroom steamed rice rolls, then get the phở with brisket. The broth leans light, but it’s still packed with plenty of flavor. Our favorite dish is the lemongrass-marinated grilled chicken that’s a little sweet and nicely-charred. You might want to add on an extra order for the next day." - Kenny Yang
"I was glad to see this family-run Vietnamese spot back and ordered the ca kho to, clay-pot salmon ($18): generous chunks of salmon with luxuriously fatty skin sat alongside onion and red and green bell peppers in a dark, sweet-and-savory caramelized-soy broth that warmed me right up on a chilly night." - Eater Staff
"Run by the family behind Sao Mai, this East Village spot offers a sprawling menu that includes bun bo Hue, pho, banh mi, and several clay pot options, with takeout and delivery available daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m." - Luke Fortney
