"The light, bright flavors of Vietnam shine at Ni and Anna Nguyen’s white-hot East Colfax spot, where dishes like crispy veal sweetbreads in fish-sauce caramel, grilled pork shoulder with lemongrass and tamarind, and charred cabbage with anchovy breadcrumbs and egg yolk have gained an instantly loyal following. Cheeky cocktails such as the gin-based Tiger’s Milk flavored with orange and dill complete the vibrant picture." - Ruth Tobias
