Description

This tiny Vietnamese restaurant has been a staple for more than a decade now. The remarkable thing is this: dishes still erupt with clean, engaging flavors, including pho, their massive portion of the traditional Vietnamese noodle soup; and goi tom ga, a chicken and shrimp salad.

    Note we didn't say most authentic--'cause in this case we don't much care about authenticity. Green Papaya's version of the Vietnamese staple is big (as Texas) and hearty (as a motherf...never mind). There are fancier soups out there too. But the Oak Lawn restaurant's pho is simple and satisfying, which is all you really want. The broth itself sends warm shivers of meatiness down your spine, but you can add a choice of beef, chicken or meatballs (try the latter). Spiked with onion and... More »

  • 2002 | Best Vietnamese Restaurant
