π 4/5 - Modern Vietnamese fine dining

Read a review in the New Yorker about this new restaurant in East Village - modern Vietnamese fine dining definitely sounded like an interesting concept - so had to make sure that we try it on this visit to NY. Got there about 6 pm with a reservation - didn't look that full but by 7 pm it was packed. The exterior was very low key - with a glass front but no visible sign so not very noticeable unless you are looking for it. It's bigger than I thought - although not suitable for large groups, with a minimalist bright upstairs section with small bar and a dimly lit, more intimate feeling slightly larger downstairs section. Spacing is not bad at all for a NY restaurant, however maybe better downstairs.
They have a tasting menu for $45pp but everyone at the table will have to participate. Since there were 4 of us it made more sense (and less expensive) to just order a la crate to get a comparable sampling of the dishes. The presentation was exquisite, and the pacing perfect - the dishes came one at a time, unhurried but without delay. My favorites were the Banh Beo - rice cakes, (comes in 4s so great for sharing), stir fried pho noodle, grilled head-on prawns (comes in 3 pieces but you can add as needed - $4 per additional piece - which we did) and pork ribs. The chicken salad was uniformly agreed as the least interesting dish (with more chicken skin than chicken meat and lots of cabbage), but overall everything was good - no bad dishes, just some more tasty than others. The warm taro sago was just the perfect dessert to finish the meal. All this deliciousness comes at a relatively high price - our 4 entrees, three apps, dessert plus 5 drinks came to $48 pp before tip. But the food is definitely worth the splurge and a perfect venue for special occasions.
