The menu at this Vietnamese spot is about as long as a list of your ex’s grievances, but focus on the phở section, especially the dặc biệt phở kho. The rich, smooth broth is served on the side, so it’s practically two excellent dishes in one. The long egg noodles come loaded up with peanuts, tendon, flank, brisket, tripe, and rare steak. Add some chili oil to the noodles and dip them in the broth—it’s a constant back-and-forth between slurping and scooping. Then get the creamy cà phê sữa đá sweetened with condensed milk for the perfect wake-me-up kick. Just make sure to get here early because they close at 3pm and have no qualms about kicking you out.
