"For a time late in the last century, this was the city’s favorite pho spot — and not only because it was located on the Lower East Side. Indeed, the pho was fine, with a light broth that tasted slightly of five-spice powder, sturdy noodles, and a bewildering number of beef types. Most customers ordered xe lua, the most deluxe version, because why not? Note: There’s a new branch downstairs at the Essex Market with a limited menu." - Robert Sietsema
"In the decades following the War in Vietnam, Chinatown developed an impressive collection of Vietnamese restaurants, of which Pho Grand was one of the first, serving as an anchor of the burgeoning neighborhood as it expanded northward and eastward. As the name suggests, the menu focuses on the beef-and-rice-noodles soup in the Saigon style, but the bill of fare also fills with over-rice dishes, curries presented with a baguette, spring rolls and summer rolls, and banh mi sandwiches." - Robert Sietsema
"This sentimental favorite just off Chrystie Street boasts a menu that, in an old-fashioned way, lists 20 variations of pho based mainly on the beef combos thrown therein. The over-rice dishes called com dia are also a high point, and so is beef with lemongrass, shrimp paste on a sugar cane, chicken curry served with a baguette, and anything featuring grilled beef or pork." - Bao Ong
