Michelin Bib Gourmand and Food & Wine No. 9
Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition came in 2024 and 2025, and Food & Wine ranked the restaurant No. 9 in its 2026 Global Tastemakers restaurants list. That sustained outside recognition suits diners weighing it for a planned lunch or dinner.
Wagyu Beef Noodle Soup and craft cocktails
Wagyu Beef Noodle Soup, Garlic Fried Noodles, and Fried Black Tiger Prawns anchor the signature dishes within a modern Vietnamese street food focus. Craft cocktails broaden the plan beyond a noodle-only meal.
