Lowdown

Michael Bao Huynh's Vietnamese-ish budget empire extends. East Midtown colony ladles frothy noodles, meaty sugarcane skewers. Pan-Asian mash-ups like wok-flipped pad see iew punched up with green mango kimchi, curry puff jammed with duck liver and confit. Make it a double oxtail pho lunch. Speedy open kitchen because no human should be made to wait for sweet and spicy pork belly on a stick. Outdoor garden encourages take no prisoners, black soba wars.
