    Vietnamese

    On Forsyth Street, diners spill across sidewalk plastic tables into the street, the crush and clatter matching an unflinching kitchen that ferments shrimp paste dark as soil and grills offal with casual precision. Stuffed snails, frog sausage studded with crushed bone, quail eggs—this is Vietnamese food stripped of refinement, tasting exactly as it should.
