If you want a lunchtime bite at this joint, you’ll first have to make your way through the crowd of masked customers waiting for their dose of Vietnamese food before heading back to the office. Inside, the cozy ambiance feels like a cross between a Scandi coffee shop and a South Asian bar (powder pink and pale green tones, bamboo lampshades, colorful cushions), while Linh and Nam Nguyen’s delicious treats get prepared fresh and served with a smile: delicious banh mi filled with juicy pork, crisp grated carrots, pickled cucumber and cilantro, all wrapped up in a spicy sauce; beef bun bo xao with outstanding rice vermicelli noodles and plenty of herbs; an airy pandan chiffon cake; or even a grilled cassava and banana cake. Worth knowing: near the entrance, there’s a small épicerie corner where you can buy coffee, spices and chocolate from Vietnam to go. // C.Do.
