"Wherever you refuel needs to match your energy—which is best described as border collie with a hide-a-squirrel toy. Viet Food is a Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown that embraces chaos.

There’s a thrumming drum soundtrack to hype you back up for the night ahead too." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
