WHY The it spot of the moment for pho, crisp spring rolls and a hugely portioned and delicious seven-course beef dinner.

WHAT The result of a squabble in the family that owns the famed Golden Deli and Vietnam House led to two members of the family—including the former Vietnam House cook—splitting off to open this tidy little place. The result is yet another, even better Vietnamese café with all the standard dishes and a superb $13 seven-course beef dinner than can easily feed two.

WHO Former Vietnam House groupies who followed the cook here.
