Fair enough. I guess if I were to have foods served on a single bowl or plate, I'd reach first for some Bun Cha / Bun Thit Nuong every time.Originally Posted by whacked
bun cha is grossly underrated. really, it's that good.

agreed, that's why it's harder to get bun cha in the states, because it's so many southerners, and the northerners do it best. since i won't be up north this trip, i'll avoid it. hey, m@t, i'll send you a pm.

So what the best place for pho is NYC?Originally Posted by HitMan009
There is no good pho in NYC, just acceptable, or worse.
In Chinatown, Nha Trang is not bad, neither is New Tu Do (102 Bowery). Out in Queens, Thai Son (in Elmhurst) is also decent.
As far as recent good pho experiences, I ate at a place in Philly last week that was great.

I think it might've been Pho Hoa that my cousin and I ate at. He lives about 30 minutes away and we went there after a long bike ride. I had to suck down a xe lua size bowl in 10 minutes because they were closing, but I kept thinking during those 10 minutes that, if this place were to open shop up in NYC, they'd totally destroy the local competition. Then when we drove out afterward, I thought we might get robbed at the red light.
It was great, kinda like Dorchester in the olden days.
