Le Soleil

One of the original Sunflower folks brings us a similar menu with a few new tweaks. Bottom line: It's good, dependable, and a fave of Vietnamese families.

Pho Danh

The beef- and chicken-based broths here are flavorful and rich. Try the Pho Tái Nam, featuring rare eye of round steak, well-cooked flank, and fatty brisket.

Pho Hoang

The broth here is terrific but meat-based, so this isn't a choice for vegetarians. Some of the greatest pho in town.
