At Pho Bac, home in specifically on the pho with Wagyu brisket, thin slices that are presented pink and raw. They’ll cook in the broth, which is light and aromatic, with good vermicelli noodles and a pleasant tang. We also love the barbecued pork spring rolls, with their flavorful char, and the Vietnamese coffee, which comes in a personal-size coffee pot, so you can administer your own dose of sweetened condensed milk.
