With his latest overnight sensation, restaurateur Drew Nieporent adds the food of Vietnam to his international TriBeCa stable (he has Mexican, French, and Japanese spots nearby). The restaurant offers some of the city's most inventive Vietnamese food, which is delivered in a sultry dining room featuring lamps and silk panels on a lotus motif. From a kitchen visible through a wood lattice wall come playful riffs on Vietnamese classics—crispy mushroom spring rolls, sizzling lemongrass shortribs, and sweet-and-sour spicy whole red snapper with mouthwatering tomatoes, pineapple, and Chinese celery.
