As a pho lover I have to say GIA LAM on 48th Street is absolutely the best Vietnamese Restaurant in Brooklyn, if not the entire NYC and beyond for a number of reasons.

#1. With today's inflation, I was able to pay only $43.50 with tax included for 2x pork chop with rice and 2x Pho Soup #1. You will not find a Vietnamese Restaurant this affordable.

#2. The soup base is perfect. The meat and additions are generous and complete compared to other restaurants that is much less or missing certain meats.

The pork chop is abundant. More than 2 pieces are always given compared to other places. And the meat is delicious and well-cooked and char just right.

#3. They make your food fast. I ordered and in less than 15 minutes, it was ready.

I've eaten at this place for the past 5 years.

Give it a try. You will definitely not going...
