O Lien Kitchen

This Vietnamese spot got its start inside the Viet Hoa supermarket before moving to a brick-and-mortar space in late 2023. While it has standards like pho and rice and noodle bowls, O Lien is also dishing specialties from Huế, including bánh khoái, a fried crepe made of rice flour that has a yellow hue from turmeric. It comes stuffed with pork, shrimp, egg, bean sprouts and veggies, and is an ideal starter before the main event: a large, piping-hot bowl of bún bò Huế.
