Description
The only pho options here are traditionalbeef, beef and beefbut the meat is prepared in more ways than you knew possible (brisket, flank, meatball, tendon...). And the broth may be a bit weak, but the accompaniments (holy basil, bean sprouts, lime wedges and hot chili sauce) are authentic. Consider straying from an all-pho meal with the tom bo nuong vi, a grill-it-yourself Vietnamese fajita, assembled with meat, lettuce, mint, coriander, bean sprouts and rice wrappers. The restaurant claims to be Senator (and former POW) John McCains favorite New York eatery.
