There's been a pho and banh mi explosion in Charleston in the past year, and City Paper's Robert Moss thinks Mount Pleasant's new Mì Xào is a welcome addition to scene. Chef and owner Anh Toan Ho helped sleek downtown noodle bar Co with their menu, and is now doing his own soups, summer rolls and dumplings out in the suburbs. While it's possible to dine in at the new place, Moss recommends ordering to-go and doctoring up the pho at home. As he puts it, "there's something satisfying and elemental about tearing the basil and cilantro leaves with your bare hands and getting a fresh hit of sharp herbal flavors with each bite."
