New York Food | The Ultimate Vietnamese Pho Battle: Results Are In 🎉
🏆 Champion: Mắm (Lower East Side) The judges raved about the broth that "transports you to Vietnam in one bite" and the handmade rice noodles. Hidden menu items: Bún Đậu Mắm Tôm (Shrimp Paste Mixed Rice Noodles) and Lemongrass Pork-Stuffed Snails. The industrial-chic decor and Vietnamese street vibe are on point! 🌿 🌶️ Highlights from the Review: ✔️ Broth slow-cooked with beef bones and spices for 12 hours ✔️ Freshly seared beef slices, tender enough to melt in your mouth ✔️ The homemade chili sauce is the star (Who dares to try the "insane spice" level?🙋♀️) 📍 Top 15 Pho Spots Across the City: Mắm Hello Saigon Đi Ăn Đi ... (See the full list in the comments) 💡 Foodie Tips: Mắm uses a rotating menu, so it's a good idea to check their IG for daily offerings before you go. Hidden tip: Pho + Vietnamese iced coffee is the ultimate combo. ☕ Average spend: $15-20, and paying with cash is more cost-effective. 👑 Judge Background: Vietnamese food expert Hannah Pham (wife of comedian Joe Wong!) went undercover, tasting pho all over the city for three weeks to create this authoritative list. When the weather cools down, nothing beats a bowl of hot pho! Which spot do you girls frequent the most?👇 #NewYorkFood #VietnamesePho 🍜
