La Belle Tonki

"Michael Lopez, Michel Lim and Michel Nguyen’s Vietnamese restaurant will whip up classic aromatic bowls of broth and noodles, sure, but their menu packs a lot of more hangover cure-adjacent options too, like cheesy ramen, a poutine pho where the broth is used to make a banger of a sauce, and banh mi burgers." - JP Karwacki, Joel Balsam

"Vietnamese-Korean fusion is the main event at this colourful, funky spot that might be the only place in the world where pho and poutine meet on the menu. They will happily take reservations for groups of up to 40 — just call or email to reserve your group." - JP Karwacki, Erinn Blicher

"La Belle Tonki is beloved for its riffs on the poutine, like the Kimcheesy, a mashup of fried cheese curds, a spicy cheddar ramen sauce, and kimchi, or the Dac Biet, featuring beef three ways (braised, carpaccio and meatball) and a pho-based gravy. It’s also a safe bet for vegans, who can sample most of the dishes on the menu with some slight modifications. With takeout on the rise, La Belle Tonki has started a sustainability program — after returning five clean containers, customers get two free imperial rolls. Need another reason to go?" - Eater Staff
