Anh and Chi

The brother-and-sister team have crafted a clean, cool space outfitted with midcentury modern furnishings while nodding to the past—a blue neon sign by the bar is a relic from the former restaurant. For more than thirty years, their parents' restaurant occupied this spot, but Anh and Chi now welcomes a new generation of diners. The menu is a love letter to Vietnam. Gỏi bắp chuối cua lột, a salad of chopped softshell crab piled high atop a banana blossom, is cool and bursting with flavor. Chạo tôm bánh hỏi is prepared in a classic way, with grilled prawn mousse served with an array of fresh herbs, and there is pho, of course. The dessert menu changes daily, but if on offer, the house-made coffee mousse is a standout.
