Vietnamese wings, Naughty Nuri ribs, crispy rice salad
Vietnamese wings, Naughty Nuri ribs, crispy rice salad, and braised pork mie goreng give the menu concrete anchors for a lunch or dinner plan.
1208 State St with terrace, courtyard, and cocktails
1208 State St gives planners a State Street base, while craft cocktails, a terrace, courtyard, and lively noise suit a social meal more than a quiet meeting.
Southeast Asian fusion with Bib Gourmand continuity
Southeast Asian fusion is the frame, with Asian as the primary cuisine; Michelin gave Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
