For the best pho that we've found. A small, mom and pop place very popular with locals. Expect to wait unless you get there early. For a real experience request the spicy lemongrass version of the pho. We also recommend the garden roles.

The owner of this vegan place is a chemist by training, so she knows how to make vegan cupcakes even moister and tastier than their butter-loaded cousins. Winner of two Cupcake Wars, the breakfast food is as good and the pastries, and the coffee ain't bad either.

Rates the second best new restaurant in the U.S. in 2016, this Philippine restaurant is extremely small. Stand in line between 5:00 and 5:30 to request your table, then go to another place to have a drink while you await your text telling you your table is ready. Worth the wait? Yes. We went once, but likely won't do it again.
