Fodor's Expert Review BoCaPhe

Until recently, the Vietnamese dining scene in New York was, at best, mediocre and uninspiring. But all that's changed and this Vietnamese spot (which has a second location in SoHo) is part of the reason why. The long menu has all the Vietnamese staples—variations on the theme of banh mi sandwiches, beef and chicken pho—but also excellent lemongrass-spiked beef burgers in a bao bun and banh xeo, a Vietnamese crepe stuffed with shrimp, pork belly and veggies.
