Overall: 
@Another Believer and SounderBruce: Phở Bắc is one of the most interesting restaurants I have seen for its use in design choice. The article is new enough (created on November 8), with around 2725 characters. The article has adequate sourcing, is neutral in tone, and is free from overarching copyright, plagiarism, or paraphrasing; Earwig picking up, at most, a 10.7% but all are properly quoted in reception. The hook is interesting and cited, but I am cautious about its claim to be the first phở restaurant in Seattle if the family is the primary source. Maybe something along the lines of:
- ALT 0.5 ... that one of Seattle's oldest phở restaurants is located in a boat-shaped parade float?
A QPQ should be completed. As for my general review of the article, I enjoyed reading about this family-owned establishment, once a sub shop, and now a popular phở restaurant. I try to offer additional comments for DYK reviews to improve the article and to note quick fixes. Some of these suggested changes include: unbold-ing any other titles in the body of the text as they are not the article's primary focus. For the Condé Nast Traveler review, I would establish the author in-line as "Stefan Milne, of the Condé Nast Traveler,..." One ref uses the word form "October 13, 2022" with the rest using the numerical-based dating system; I prefer the word form, but I would change all for consistency. The lead could use an additional sentence or two to better round up the article. Overall, a well-done article and an interesting find. Adog (Talk・Cont) 16:55, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
@SounderBruce: A QPQ wasn't provided within seven days of the nomination and a reminder. The nomination is marked for closure on technical grounds, but can resume once a QPQ is provided. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
