Little Vietnam

"This restaurant is temporarily closed. This address in Petworth has been a revolving door for numerous chefs, but we’re bullish on its latest tenant. A merry band of friends have come together to deliver bold flavors from Vietnam and beyond. From cumin lamb dumplings lashed in chili oil to duck fat rice to an off-menu chicken Caesar rice wrap stuffed with chicken skin, the tightly curated menu is as tasteful as it is inspired. To the heavy beats booming overhead, courses like lemongrass red curry with duck confit and springy Sun noodles pack fiery punches. The young team has nowhere to hide in this tiny, open space where the curved bar sits right on top of the kitchen. Be warned: there’s no website, phone number or reservations, so scoring a table is a matter of faith." - Michelin Inspector
