Finding great soup in Koreatown is easy. Finding great pho, however, means wading through a lot of mediocrity. Cut your search and head to Ktown Pho. This tiny Vietnamese cafe on Western makes the best pho in the neighborhood and considering the wait you’ll find on the weekends, we aren’t the only ones who think so. The menu has ten varieties including oxtail, chicken, and even vegan, but your order needs to be the wagyu. Protein at pho shops can sometimes be an afterthought, but the rich and buttery wagyu here makes the already fragrant broth even more flavorful. An order also comes with four ounces of meat, validating the $18 price.
