Vietnamese food is under-explored by most, and it’s considered mysterious by many — even chefs. Screw that, kids. Head to PHO LEMONGRASS for a lesson in sizzling crêpes, pho, and rice-paper summer rolls that will prove invaluable to your palate. Noodles, soups, and fondues (broth, not cheese) play important roles in the Vietnamese diet, and are all featured prominently at Pho Lemongrass.
