Brooklyn: Pho, Sushi, Pizza & Spice
Start with Southeast Asian comfort food at Pho Viet Nam, then explore kosher sushi, Brooklyn pizza and Uzbek-style shawarma. This half-day route mixes cuisines rather than staying exclusively Southeast Asian. Share small orders and check opening hours before setting out.
Begin on Avenue U with Vietnamese comfort food: pho, shrimp summer rolls or pork chop over rice. This low-key local spot also serves Vietnamese sandwiches. Share a small order to leave room for the next stop.

Continue to Kings Highway for kosher, pareve sushi in a relaxed room with a jazz-filled atmosphere. The Yamato roll combines spicy salmon, kani and black pepper tuna; the Laguna Roll brings spicy tuna and crunch.

Make the third stop a change of pace: a family-run Sheepshead Bay pizzeria with Brooklyn roots dating to the 1970s. Choose a square or round New York-style pie. The carmella picante adds hot cherry peppers, pepperoni and hot honey.

Finish on Avenue Z with richly seasoned Uzbek-style shawarma. The menu includes wraps, hot dogs and lamb, beef or chicken platters. Counter service and a few tables keep the setting straightforward; there is no table service.
