Bone Marrow Pho and Crispy Banh Mi in Astoria
Slurp bone marrow pho and tear into crackly banh mi at a Vietnamese kitchen rooted in Astoria.
🍜 Broth, Bread, and Bowls
District Saigon runs a compact Vietnamese menu out of a small room on Broadway in Astoria. The pho comes deep and clear, one bowl crowned with a marrow bone and scallions, another stacked with sliced beef, meatballs, and a side plate of basil, bean sprouts, and lime to fold in as the broth cools.
The banh mi cracks at the first bite, its turmeric crusted filling layered with pickled carrot and cilantro on a light baguette. Cool vermicelli bowls arrive threaded with mint and crisp fried shallots, built for slower afternoons. Regulars rate it 4.5 across more than 1040 visits, and that steadiness shows up bowl after bowl.
Come hungry, order across the pho, banh mi, and vermicelli, and let the herb plate do the seasoning.
