The Draw
Sleek, contemporary setting; modern Vietnamese cuisine.

The Drawback
When busy, service can be disorganized.

Don't Miss:
Oxtail pho, coconut- and ginger-encrusted calamari, charcuterie platter, tea-smoked duck, coffee-braised short ribs, and coconut panna cotta.

Vegetarian Options:
Crispy spring rolls, summer rolls, mint-scented watercress salad, wok-seared eggplant in garlic and black bean sauce, vegetarian pho. Note: the nuoc cham condiment contains fish sauce.
