"The dish I truly can’t stop thinking about right now, though, is from Matta’s soon-to-end pop-up in the Dame space: ca chua nhoi thit, an heirloom tomato stuffed with ground pork, mushrooms, and glass noodles. Matta’s version was almost aggressively savory, which I mean as the ultimate compliment: hearty and herbaceous thanks to a bath in a spicy tomato sauce." - Eater Staff
"Matta's chả cá lã vọng during its residency at Lil Dame was the essence of comfort." - Eater Staff
