Willa Moore reviews Thái Sơn, a reliable Vietnamese spot in Chinatown offering plentiful pho options and Vietnamese classics, perfect for casual dinners and lunch.
Located in the heart of Chinatown, this Vietnamese eatery is a go-to spot for those seeking authentic and satisfying dishes. From their renowned pho to flavorful bánh mì and other Vietnamese classics, there's something for everyone. It's a casual yet reliable choice, perfect for a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner, or even accommodating larger groups.
This Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown is celebrated for its extensive pho options, particularly the #3 and #1. Beyond pho, the menu includes bánh mì, grilled beef lettuce wraps, shaking beef, and a clay pot fish dish. While the clay pot fish has received mixed feedback, with some noting it's made with salmon instead of catfish, the overall food quality is highly regarded.

Customers consistently praise the restaurant for its delicious and authentic Vietnamese cuisine, with many highlighting the pho and friendly service. It's considered a reliable and welcoming spot in the neighborhood.
