Vietnamese Restaurant · Williamsburg · 63 tips and reviews
Serious Eats: Traditional takes on Vietnamese drinking food—pork chops, noodles, banh mi, and more. We're partial to the pork chop and oxtail stew.
Luca Galasso: Amazing pork bun, really good ginger wigs, and as main the best is the porn chop with fried egg and rice, the ginger lemon grass stew oxtail is also sooooo good
JennyJenny: Not the greatest Vietnamese food, but the oxtail stew gets a thumbs up.

Kiki Moreo: The food here is amazing. The shrimp stew entrée, the veggie sandwich, the filet sandwich and the arugula salad- fantastic!
Barrie Kobzan: Get the shrimp stew.
Dee Phunk: One of the most consistent spots in the area. Especially for brunch (holler @ the prix fixe). Try the omelette. You might have to wait a little bit for a table during prime time but it'll be worth it.
