Vietnamese street eats, cocktails, & craft beer to go.
"This South Street restaurant and shop serves—you guessed it—bánh mì 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 (if they have the tequila sunrise with passionfruit and egg white, get it), 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 it tends to get busy on the weekends, so make a reservation if you’re going with a group." - alison kessler
"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

"At Bahn Mi and Bottles, Chef Tuan Phung pays homage to his culinary heritage through modern twists on traditional Vietnamese dishes. The scallion corn, known as Bap Xao, is offered on both its happy hour and dinner menu. It features fresh corn kernels sautéed in butter with scallions and shrimp, and topped with its house aioli." - George Banks-Weston
"This Vietnamese-inspired bar on South Street has garnered a reputation for cocktails that have are memorable and culturally provocative. Libations such as “sage smash” (that includes vodka, umami, sage, fresh squeezed sugar cane, and nutmeg) and “yes, chef!” (that includes house pork-belly-infused whiskeys, cherry cardamom bitters, and honey) are bold stand-outs." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
