Shank and Bone – Vietnamese
This vibrant eatery breathes new life into Vietnamese soul food, filling the space with the intoxicating aroma of star anise and the sizzle of premium, wood-smoked meats. Velvety bowls of smoked Wagyu picanha pho and clay pots of caramelized catfish offer a masterclass in balanced flavors, while crusty tri-tip banh mi and delicate sugarcane shrimp provide a playful, modern twist on time-honored classics.
