Pho Golden in the Excelsior is a haven of all things grilled meat. Yes, phở is in the name, but get anything involving their charred-to-perfection pork, which you’ll be thinking about until the next retrograde rolls around. The combination rice plates and bánh mì are excellent pork-ferrying vessels, as is the classic phở dặc biệt with a heap of green onions and all the fixings. Keep this spot in your back pocket for low-effort weeknight dinners—it's always easy to walk in.
