Bánh Anh Em: Restaurant, Manhattan, NYC

Created by chef-owners Nhu Ton and John Nguyen near Union Square, this East Village restaurant features an open kitchen with a charcoal grill and an imported noodle-extruding machine making fresh noodles daily. The dining room pairs vibrant dishes with nostalgic primary-color polka dot water glasses and wiggly wooden chairs, serving house-baked baguettes alongside hard-to-find regional specialties.
