Pho Viet Huong

Don’t let the address fool you. This unassuming Mulberry Street Vietnamese spot is on the right side of Canal—a block south of the Italian tourist traps. The space is cafeteria-like, the menu filled with simple, satisfying classics: rice plates, pho and lemongrass-flavored everything (chicken, beef, fish, frog legs). The pork and beef vermicelli (bun nem nuong and bun bo nuong) are killer deals at $5 a pop. Feeling more adventurous? Experiment with the tripe dishes, perhaps best attempted after trying all three Vietnamese beers.
