If you're open to a place specializing in more popular bhan mi and pho I suggest Nhà Tôi in Williamsburg, on Havemeyer just below South 2nd St. Their bhan mi is my favorite in the city. The pho is a new addition to their menu and I've only had it once.

The restaurant is small, more geared to take-out but they have recently re-arranged to accommodate more diners-in.
