"Em Vietnamese Bistro is known for its noodle soups, but that’s just one of the draws. The full-service restaurant serves excellent Vietnamese crepes, buttered clams, black pepper shaking beef, soft shell crab curry, and beef shank stew. Several dishes come with banh mi on the side for dipping." - Eater Staff
"There are two exciting new things happening in Dumbo this week. The first is the opening of a Vietnamese restaurant called Em (which has a location in Bensonhurst already). The second is Dumbo Open Studios, a free art show with 100 artists, galleries, and art organizations participating. Art In Dumbo, a resource for arts in the neighborhood, created a helpful map to all of the in-person exhibitions in the area that you can check out before or after lunch or dinner. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"Fruit importer Patrick Lin met Ly Nguyen while he was in Vietnam, and the rest is history: from how they opened a soup-and-sandwich shop in Bensonhurst, where the specialty was the Cambodian-Vietnamese potage hu tieu, then expanded the concept into a full-blown modern bistro in Dumbo. There, they invented a riff on the banh mi featuring an elongated hamburger patty, and a recipe for mussels in a lemongrass-scented broth, along with a brothless version of their original hit soup, hu tieu." - Robert Sietsema, Bao Ong
"Patrick Lin, co-owner of Em Vietnamese Kitchen and Em Vietnamese Bistro in Dumbo, says the mandate motivated at least two of the restaurant’s regulars to get vaccinated." - Luke Fortney
