What s good about it: Pho is a quintessential wintertime staple; filled with aromatic herbs and that signature anise flavor, combined with fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles and varying types of meat. I m a fan of the one that comes with brisket, but the restaurant s list is long and lets you choose from any number of adventurous options. Pho Viet s soups, in the era of takeout-only, come ready for a sog-proof meal. Noodles come separate from the broth; fresh veggies and herbs are separated out too. Add them all to a big bowl at home and you re good to go. Had I been hungrier on the day I got the pho, I might have added a bahn mi the delightful Vietnamese sandwich I find hard to resist in almost any iteration. Also highlights for the Source crew are the Fried Rice and the Pad Thai made in a Vietnamese style that sets it apart from others you might have tried.
