Blossom (CLOSED)

White walls, an expanse of brick and low, black leather banquettes set the stage at this Vietnamese eatery, which also has a cozy downstairs seating area boasting a glass-walled wine cellar. You’re here for some of the best pho in L.A.: most options are beef-forward and contain pleasantly fatty brisket and beef balls that pack a peppery punch—satisfying and just right. And if you aren’t down with meat? There’s a stellar vegeteraian option here that appeals to just about everyone.
