"Fruit importer Patrick Lin met Ly Nguyen while he was in Vietnam, and the rest is history: from how they opened a soup-and-sandwich shop in Bensonhurst, where the specialty was the Cambodian-Vietnamese potage hu tieu, then expanded the concept into a full-blown modern bistro in Dumbo. There, they invented a riff on the banh mi featuring an elongated hamburger patty, and a recipe for mussels in a lemongrass-scented broth, along with a brothless version of their original hit soup, hu tieu." - Robert Sietsema, Bao Ong
