100 W 82nd St, at Columbus; 212.501.0776

From the Bao 111 guy, this gorgeous Vietnamese resto's slinging SE Asian homestyle -- roasted guinea hen, ginger-glazed duck, summer rolls, rock shrimp soup, etc -- in a 162-seat, multi-room space decked in grape stalk ceilings, French philosophical tract bar decorations, and a huge barcode-esque mural sourced from 20th-century propaganda posters (BaoHouse design?).
