Bánh Mì and Bottles

"There are a few Saigon-inspired restaurants in the city with full bars and kitschy tiki cocktails, but nothing compares to Tuan Phung’s modern Vietnamese kitchen and bottle shop. Fun bar snacks like tamarind wings and sauteed corn are paired with ube espresso martinis and mojitos with pandan." - Ella Lilja Peterson

"This South Street restaurant and shop serves—you guessed it—banh mi and craft beer. But thinking that’s all they do is like thinking Tom Hanks just does a little acting. They also have sophisticated cocktails, along with an extensive menu of Vietnamese street food and snacks. The chicken wings are perfectly crispy, the stuffed clams are tender and deliciously spicy, and the pork bao buns are a must-order. Pop into the industrial space anytime you’re feeling peckish—the small plates are always changing—but make a reservation if you’re going with a group (it tends to get busy on the weekends)." - candis mclean, alison kessler
