replying to u/ubk21: Pecking House is incredible. The house (short rib) Pho at the terribly named, but still delicious, 5ive Spice is also good. A walk to Gowanus, but Baba’s Pierogis is also excellent and close to many good breweries

replying to u/SamIsMissing: I thought the same until I had Di An Di's beef pho (with an egg) in Greenpoint - way more rich and flavorful, I think due to the egg and how well cooked/browned the beef is.

replying to u/crazeman: IMO The Break Room in Chinatown has a really good tempura fish taco. Fish Tacos is one of those food that is really hit or miss and I feel like The Break Room is one of the rare "hits". I haven't been there in a while but I think I remember their other tacos being kinda "meh" so I only go for their fish tacos. (Also I'm not 100% sure if they're still opened, yelp reported that they're closed, but they're still listed as opened on google maps and on grub hub). 5ive Spice (Brooklyn and Manhattan) has Vietnamese tacos. I don't remember them being amazing but I liked their spin on it and is worth trying. They serve it on a Bánh Xèo (Coconut Rice Crepe) instead of a tortilla.

replying to u/twangy718: 5ive Spice has a beer battered fish banh mi. I haven’t had it, so no opinion, but everything else I’ve had there is great, including the beer battered chicken banh mi.
