What's best? I went to Sunrise years ago, and was generally impressed, and to Pho 2000, and thought it was fine but unmemorable. Anywhere else we should try? Red Line accessibility is a plus, although we're indifferent as to which stop.

I always enjoy my meal at Anh Hong and the dining room is spacious. I'll try to put Anh Hong on the map to the right.....

I miss Ba Le, glad to hear they've put in a few tables. Mon Nov 09 13:57:30 -0800 2009 5163899 48292 powella 1 5161623 My favorites are probably Pho So 1 and Pho Hoa. Not much atmosphere at either place, but excellent food.

I continue to wonder why Sunrise isn't more of a "board favorite." I look forward to trying Anh Hong and Ba Le next time I head south on the Red Line.
