Twenty Pho Hour

It's not just pho, and they're not open 24 hours, but no matter, since this place is popular all the same. Expect to line up outside during busy hours, though the staff is very efficient and soon enough you'll be inside the black-and-white dining space. Peruse the broad noodle-based Asian menu that includes a stir-fried section in addition to appetizers and more. As the name suggests, there is indeed pho, and the broth is impressive. Go for the short rib pho to get a side of drama—the bone sticks out of the bowl—and falling-off-the-bone tender meat. From there, your meal might take a Korean turn with kimchi noodles or the Korean fire noodles, which despite their name, don't require a heat warning.
