"I find this beloved, casually cool spot delivers bright, bold modern Vietnamese with dishes that pack real flavor: mushrooms that draw admiring glances, pickled bean sprouts with sesame, cilantro, and a giant kick of chili oil, shrimp cakes sweetly fried and wrapped in butter lettuce, velvety twice-cooked eggplant with peanuts and scallion oil, and a deceptively simple burnt banana coconut tapioca pudding whose flavors run deep—perfect whether seated by the open kitchen or out with friends." - Alexandra Hall
