There are better ones but too far to venture from the city for most out of towners. Arguably the best one in the city. Don't expect service or ambience. Hot bowl of Pho is all they care about.

Try the Thai massage. Not cheap because it's not one of those cheap and nasty massage joints, but definitely worth it if you need some knots taken out with a dash of pampering.
