Sap Sua

Since opening in the summer of 2023, Ni and Anna Nguyen’s Sắp Sửa has landed on national lists and made a big splash locally for its non-traditional take on Vietnamese food inspired by Ni’s upbringing as a first-generation Vietnamese-American and Anna’s experience falling in love with her husband and the cuisine he grew up eating while both were in culinary school. On the menu, traditional names of dishes are listed in quotations before the description of the team’s take on those flavors, which is often comforting even for diners who are less familiar with the ingredients.
