"One of the most invigorating dishes at Van Da is the coi ga ($22), a poached-chicken salad with fennel, crunchy cabbage, and the aromatic herb rau ram; it comes with two dressings (one vinegar-and-oil, one nuoc cham) and a lush congee made from the poaching liquids, and owner Yen Ngo says the chicken is poached so it won’t overpower the cabbage in texture and flavor." - Chris Crowley
