"In a neighborhood full of casual options, Phuc Yea has personality. It’s dark, energetic, and a burlesque dancer might appear out of thin air to start shimmying next to your table on a Saturday night. While Phuc Yea’s love of puns has only intensified over the years, it has veered away from the original Viet-Cajun concept that gave it a cult following in the 2010s, today, the MiMo restaurant calls its food Vietnamese-Latin." - team infatuation
"This whimsical Vietnamese restaurant offers its twist on brunch with dishes like crispy croissant French toast, breakfast banh mi, and spicy lemongrass oxtail soup, available from noon to 3 p.m. every Sunday. A hangover pho offering made with short rib and meatballs seems appropriate for the crowd that imbibed the night before. Meanwhile, more refreshed diners can add bottomless bellinis, tropimosas, bloody marys, and bloody marias for $35." - Eater Staff
"This longtime favorite edgy Vietnamese just rolled out a new martini lineup, with each of the four creations crafted by a different member of the bar team. Dubbed “A Tini With A Snack,” the menu includes the Madame Ho Chi Minh, a Gibson-style martini with red bell shrub, paired with crispy pickled onion wonton, and the Golden Child, made with tequila, green chili, and served with crispy goat cheese stuffed olives. There’s also the Dragon’s Lair, which brings sake into the mix and comes with a side of wasabi peas." - Alona Martinez
"There is nothing subtle about Chef Cesar Zapata and Ani Meinhold’s raucous Vietnamese mash-up in the MiMo district. A concrete compound wrapped in glowing red lanterns, the restaurant is practically a club with its sultry lighting, cavernous interior and full-time DJ. Yet, none of it gets in the way of the food, which is boldly seasoned and generously portioned. Stacks of crispy imperial rolls wrapped with mint and tangles of garlic-butter egg noodles aggressively charred on a wok are solid starting points. Everything is meant to be shared, especially the pho, which arrives in a cauldron packed with herbs, rice noodles and a meltingly tender slab of hickory-smoked short rib.All the while, a nearby table might launch into song. You are welcome to join the fun." - Michelin Inspector
"While this modern Vietnamese spot has been running a popular happy hour Wednesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for years, its latest addition to the happy hour is its Sunday Funday special, when deals flow from noon to 5 p.m. At any point, find a roster of $10 dishes like caramel chicken wings, imperial rolls, and half-off oysters, plus $9 classic drinks." - Missy Frederick
