My Canh

Small Tenderloin take-out space draws long lines for super-cheap meat or tofu banh mi sandwiches.

Cash-only Outer Sunset Cantonese spot evoking a 1980s Hong Kong cha chaan teng, with wonton and dumpling soups, beef stew tendon, and shiitake mushroom noodles.

Casual, colorful eatery dishing up fried, steamed, or boiled dumplings, plus noodles and small plates.

Innovative and solid Vietnamese spot with options for the people. Bun cha and banh cuon hit the spot, and so does the pho.
