"MasterChef winner and James Beard Award nominee Christine Ha has brought her modern Vietnamese restaurant, formerly a food stall within Bravery Chef Hall, to the burgeoning Spring Branch neighborhood. She draws inspiration from her childhood and family favorites with dishes like bánh khọt — crispy, savory Vietnamese pancakes topped with shrimp and scallion oil and served with lettuce and herbs, Mom’s Eggrolls packed with pork and shrimp, and a caramelized salmon that’s braised in garlic, shallot, and fish sauce. Ha’s famed dessert, the Rubbish Apple Pie à la Mode — a favorite of chef Gordon Ramsay — is also on the menu. Best for: A catch-up with friends or family over several dishes and cocktails." - Brittany Britto Garley
