Couple this crispy goi ca (handrolls) or meaty mackerel with sweet chili jam for a serotonin-boosting spread. Wok-seared beef pho delights with tender sliced brisket, egg yolk, and rice noodles floating in an umami-packed bone broth. The menu soothes the soul with well-known favorites, daily specials, and of course, an array of pho-also the star of the show. ![]() ![]() Pho choices are abundant, but the real star of the show is pho tai-where raw beef shavings are cooked to tender perfection when combined with a scalding hot, savory broth replete with herbs, sprouts and chewy noodles. One peek at the specials on the walls (maybe golden-fried squid strewn with sea salt) will have you begging for a seat in the crammed room. Standout dishes include turmeric griddle cake with wild mushrooms and coconut custard crisped, delightfully chewy mochi balls and tapioca dumplings steamed in banana leaves. This menu is divided into street food from different regions, including Hanoi, Hue and Saigon-each sporting their own style. Restaurateurs Yen Ngo and Chef Hannah Wong are the brains behind this fantastic and exciting offering in the East Village.
