Viet Citron

"Beloved Vietnamese restaurant Việt Citron in Burlington (plus a soon-to-open expansion inside Somerville’s Bow Market) is putting together a special dish for Tết called thịt kho trứng. It’s a soul-fortifying dish of caramelized pork belly, braised egg, and mustard greens perfect to ring in the new year." - Erika Adams, Valerie Li Stack

"“It’s a tradition during Tết to serve Chè Trôi Nước, warm mung bean mochi in coconut and ginger sugar,” notes the Burlington Vietnamese restaurant on Instagram. “It brings good luck and prosperity. Our family would like to share this tradition with our guests.” It will be available at the restaurant from February 2 through 4." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Thanks to a work thing that takes my husband to Burlington on summer Tuesday mornings, we have a little tradition of getting Viet Citron takeout for lunch. Get anything with the crispy pork belly, but keep an eye out for specials, too: The lap xuong, Chinese-style sausage, is a must if available. —Rachel Leah Blumenthal" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle, Nathan Tavares, Karen Wilber

"Banh hoi bowl with crispy pork belly from Viet Citron." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Burlington is quite a bit outside of my usual radius, but an unavoidable errand brought me right by Viet Citron, a fairly new Vietnamese restaurant about which I’d been hearing rave reviews around the internet food-enthusiast circles. I’m so glad I had to go out there — only problem is that now I’m craving more of the bánh hỏi and can’t easily make the trip. —RLB Currently offering takeout and delivery.
