Golden Star Vietnamese Restaurant
Vietnamese
A no-frills Vietnamese lunch spot on the edge of Portsmouth Square, where the best move on a sunny day is to grab takeout and eat in the park while retired neighbors argue card games at the tables nearby. Pho, grilled meats, rice plates, and vermicelli salads are the whole program, exactly as advertised. The spring rolls, fried in rice paper, come out blistered and genuinely airy in a way that's hard to explain until you've had one.

Bun cha gio
“The bun cha gio ($13.60), or rice vermicelli salad with spring rolls, comes with plenty of crisp bean sprouts, lettuce and carrot and daikon pickles, and the accompanying nuoc cham strikes a good balance between sweet and salty.”
