Little Hoi An

You'll find yourself on Allison Street in the south side, walking into something that feels genuinely transported from Vietnam's bustling street markets. Little Hoi An does the basics brilliantly: pho that's been simmered to perfection, bánh mì that actually has snap to it, and summer rolls that taste like they were made five minutes ago. The place punches well above its price point—you're eating restaurant-quality food without the ceremony or the bill that makes you wince. It's the kind of spot locals queue for, and once you've been, you understand why.
