Viet Bistro

On a rainy night, there’s nowhere you’d rather be than sitting in front of an oniony bowl of house phở loaded with flank, steak, tripe, and a meatball at Viet Bistro. Outside of warming you up, the 24 noodle soup options here are some of the best in the city and are all $15 and under. Outside of the soups, you can go for things like dumplings, steamed rice dishes, vegetarian combination dishes, and long $6 bành mí that you’ll be thinking about all week. With lots of big tables and artwork showing off the Vietnam coastline, it’s an ideal place for a last-minute group dinner where you can just walk in, order anything on the menu, and daydream about your next beach vacation.
