Chef Matt Le-Khac debuted this modernized, post-Colonial era-inspired Vietnamese restaurant one month before the pandemic hit, and it’s his vibrant, acid-forward plates that have ensured he sailed through to better days.

Throughout the Vietnamese menu, expect chef-centric touches as seen in his excellent bánh xèo, or crispy crêpe, in this case served open-faced as opposed to folded, fortified with house-made duck prosciutto, foraged maitake mushrooms, pickled baby leeks, and a fermented shrimp and soybean sauce (different from the fish sauce typically found in the Saigon version of this dish) from his parents’ hometown of Huế.
