New York’s 2025 Eater Award Winners | Eater NY

"Accessible yet ambitious Vietnamese cooking draws a constant line to this Union Square storefront, where owners Nhu Ton and John Nguyen bake their own bread and make their rice noodles. After building a following uptown at Bánh for dishes like phở dặc biệt and bánh chưng, this follow‑up expands that approach: The bánh mì, served on a light, crisp baguette, ranges from pate, pork floss, pickled vegetables, and fermented hot sauce to a richer bone marrow‑and‑brisket version, while a standout rice‑noodle bowl topped with pork‑bone fish sauce, shredded mango, and mustard greens showcases a regional style rarely seen in Manhattan. Though modest in size and price, the restaurant raises the bar for Vietnamese food and New York casual fare." - Melissa McCart
