Taqueria el Barrio, Orfano, T&B Pizza, Restaurant Reviews - Eater Boston
"Kuschner also visits Ban Tôi Restaurant (which opened in June in Dorchester) for an early review, where she eats garlicky snails that might be “one of the best things” she’s eaten all summer. Also on the menu: a sizable selection of hot pot options ideal for a group, featuring beef, goat, fish balls, seafood, or chicken. Kuschner tucks into goi mit, or jackfruit salad, that piles onto an airy rice cake with a smattering of sweet and sour fish sauce to create “a lovely medley of sugar and spice, acidity and fat, and varying levels of crunch.” Ban Tôi also has a fantastic bowl of beef pho that’s savory and comforting, Kuschner writes, with “a reasonable amount of noodles that won’t threaten to fill you up halfway through the dish.” The focus on southern Vietnamese cuisine means there’s no bun cha on the menu, but there’s ample seafood and sweet drinks like mung bean milk." - Dana Hatic
