"At Nhâu Bar, a mysterious and otherworldly basement bar, cocktails—which aren't exclusively Vietnamese, but tend to have Asian influences—involve creativity, zing, and nontraditional ingredients. Take the beautiful Pandan Sour, served in a tall coupe, which mixes rum with pandan (a vanilla-like Southeast Asian plant), kombu, and lime, or the Nhâu Shell, a two-person drink that combines strawberry wine with Oloroso, tequila, raspberries, passion fruit, and pineapple in a conch shell. Chef Ross Louangsignotha's menu is full of bestsellers from Hà upstairs, in cocktail-bite form. The beloved chicken wings, the bao buns (the crispy shrimp ones are particularly addictive), the fried broccoli bits, and the crunchy imperial rolls all are on offer." - Isa Tousignant
