(From December 2009) Constantly upgrading their menu, service, and decor, Henry and Kathy Ngo have turned this nondescript spot into a jewel. Outstanding is their platter-size rice-flour crepe stuffed with shrimp, chicken, and bean sprouts. Equally delightful was a blackboard special of honey walnut shrimp, the shellfish lightly crusted and flash-fried, then served with walnuts in a honey-based glaze. Also notable: sweet potato flan (more the texture of a pudding than the silky Mexican dessert) complemented by a coconut milk–tapioca sauce. Beer & wine.

(From December 2009) Tony Lam’s shorter, less intimidating lunch menu includes one of our favorites: thinly shaved slices of pork loin grilled and served over a bed of julienne vegetables and rice noodles. But we also like to visit in the eve-ning, when we can choose from a broad selection of both contemporary items and traditional dishes, like the garlicky vegetarian platter or the mild yellow curry with chicken. The professional service befits the white-linen tablecloths. Bar.
