A Vietnamese noodle house on Commercial Drive with a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The noodle soups rotate, with bun bo hue as the signature and bun thai and banh canh cua alongside. One spoon of the chili-slicked red broth explains the fuss. Many tables split the garlic fried noodles once the soup is gone. The lineup rotates, so check what is on the day you go.
