Pho

Rich, long-simmered broth with clean anise and char aromatics — closer to Saigon-style clarity than Northern opaqueness, with tender beef and fresh herbs on the side

Bánh Mì

Crusty baguette with pickled daikon and carrot, cilantro, and your choice of protein — well-balanced with a good bread-to-filling ratio

Vietnamese Coffee

Ca phe sua da — sweetened condensed milk iced coffee with a strong dark roast drip, exactly as it should be
