Cyclo

Small Cyclo is beloved for both its food and its owner, Justina Duong. The place has garnered praise from both national food critics and from legions of adoring locals and visitors. As a result, you'll likely find a crowd when you visit. Graze on small plates of tamarind-glazed pork short ribs, black pepper shrimp, spring rolls, green papaya salad, or other assorted morsels. Or try pho, a one-dish, noodle-based soup featuring chicken, beef, seafood or tofu, along with a number of garnishes. The extensive menu is full of fresh, vibrant choices, and speedy, affable servers are happy to steer you in the right direction if your knowledge of Vietnamese food is rudimentary.
