doi moi

"This Vietnamese street food bar offers $7.50 crispy Brussels sprouts and steamed dumplings, $5 beers, $6 wines, and $9 cocktails and daiquiris from Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Monday to Thursday from 9 p.m. until close." - Claudia Rosenbaum, Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi

"Doi Moi, Logan Circle’s Southeast Asian staple since 2012, just added a new prix fixe option with a throwback twist. Laotian-born Deth Khaiaphone was Doi Moi’s chef de cuisine during its early days, working under Haidar Karoum (now the chef-owner at Chloe)." - Tierney Plumb

"Following a tropical overhaul from Star Restaurant Group, the reinvented Southeast Asian staple sends out pho, banh mi, steamed buns, flash-fried beef jerky, fresh-pressed juices, and Thailand’s Singha on draft. A solid weekday happy hour (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) features $5 dumplings and $8 daiquiris. At night, follow a pink light to go downstairs encounter a dimly-lit basement bar that pairs its own list of cocktails with snacks to a soundtrack of ’70s soul music." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff

"This trendy 14th street fixture has gone through a few iterations, but current chef Wade Hoo Fatt is really leaning into Vietnamese street fare. Think beef jerky, five spice frites, a riff on shaky beef, banh mi, banh bo buns, and more. Brunch brings a few more innovations like a pandan honeycomb cake and coconut beignets, plus plenty of savory traditional dishes. Order online here." - Missy Frederick

"Logan Circle’s Vietnamese street foods spot takes a stab at beignets with a twist that makes perfect sense. The beignets are full of one of Southern Vietnam’s key ingredients: coconuts. Made with coconut sugar, sweetened condensed coconut milk, and topped with coconut chips, this dessert feels familiar and novel all at once ($9.50)." - Abi Newhouse
