It’s not every day a restaurant nails both quality and quantity. Rarer still is feeling so refreshed after a sizeable meal. But Super Bowl’s fragrant chicken and beef pho is like a day spa for the body.

The nourishing,super-sized lake of broth for two is big on star anise and loaded with slender shreds of meat. There are smaller versions,but why not buddy up and take on the challenge? Menu queries might be met with a shrug,but everything else is expedited efficiently.

Hanoi style spring rolls come bursting with juicy chicken and prawn,and fat pork meatballs arrive with a flurry of herbs in a bowl of bun cha,another northern Vietnamese specialty.

Standing out on a strip packed with Vietnamese options is no easy task,but here it’s game on. Weave your way through the bike couriers and prepare for a touchdown of a meal.
