Manhattan Vietnamese Restaurant Serving Spicy Bun Bo Hue

Spicy bún bò Huế gives Nón Lá its opening punch. This cozy Manhattan Vietnamese restaurant at 128 E 4th St sticks to classic recipes, with rich noodle soups, fresh herbs and generous portions. The combo pho comes loaded with tripe and tendon, and crispy pork spring rolls add crunch to an order built around broth.

Veggie and tofu pho covers the table that skips meat. On the drinks side, the house limeade is sweet and refreshing, while the Vietnamese iced coffee runs strong enough to finish the meal on its own. A friendly team and art on the walls give the compact room a neighborhood feel.

Nón Lá is open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM, which makes it an easy call for lunch or an early dinner. Save the bún bò Huế for a cold evening, and the combo pho for when you want the full bowl.
