Pho Bac
Vietnamese soup specialist (l,d; $)
One of a few basic Vietnamese diners in Chinatown, Pho Bac is always dependable for a hot bowl of warming Tonkinese soup.
Prices are low and service is quick.
If you're keener on Vietnamese noodle dishes, then competitor Pho Bang New York, just over the road, probably has the edge.
