52 5th Ave, Brooklyn

The phở broth at this casual spot on 5th Ave in Park Slope is slow-simmered for 12 hours, and it’s one of the first things we reach for (or dive into headfirst) after a long day. It makes the phở here rich and mouth-coating, and it helps balance all the bright herbs, jalapeños, and citrus that come with it. If you’re in the mood for a bánh mì, order a cup of broth on the side, and dip the crispy bread coated in marrow-laced pâté into it before every bite.

Lucy's Vietnamese in Bushwick survives with only two menu items (pho and pho ban mi) because they're both very good. Go with the brisket versions.
