The classics stand out at this contemporary Vietnamese restaurant.
Using a 100-year-old family recipe learned over the course of several visits to the proprietor of Bánh Mì Phuong street stand in Hoi An, a city on the south central coast of Vietnam, the owners here offer up roughly half a dozen variations on the iconic sandwich. Try the oxtail sandwich when it's available.
Don't let the nondescript exterior fool you; this is where all of your favorite Vietnamese dishes have been hiding.
A mix of popular Chinese dishes complements its Vietnamese menu. It really shines with the blackboard Vietnamese specials, particularly the vegetarian dishes.
Tasty, generous portions and good service turn newcomers into regulars.
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.
The broth here is terrific but meat-based, so this isn't a choice for vegetarians. Some of the greatest pho in town.
Is it soup yet? This pho is aromatic and delicious. Don't forget to try the char-grilled meats on vermicelli or rice.
The light, savory salads come with either grilled or lemongrass-seasoned meat, seafood, or tofu and are drizzled with special Tháison dressing.

The pho comes in all the permutations of meats and noodles, and spicy Singaporean-style dishes are available too.
Already addicted to the "Bánh Mi" sliders – pork, cucumber, and pickled carrots stuffed inside steamed Peking buns, we tried the PhoNatic Roll. Its contrast in texture is due to pork cake and pickled carrots wrapped in crispy eggroll skin. For your noodle fix, try the Mì Hoành Thánh Thap Cam with hearty wontons.
This restaurant specializes in over-the-top-tasty grilled beef, chicken, pork, and shrimp skewers, but also has great spring rolls and excellent bun and pho.
