What Christopher Chang likes about Nam Son Vietnamese:

The interior of Nam Son is on the other end of the spectrum from Boi. Nam Son feels a bit like a cafeteria, waiters bustling to and from the kitchen, a cart fil...

This is undoubtedly the best pho in NYC for the price. The pho was served in a huge bowl, filled with generous layers of beef, all for just $14. Everything was...

I definitely do not recommend this place! I was really disappointed because I enjoyed the food, but the server completely ruined the experience for me.
