| Vietnamese food restaurant ranks ranked 26th among the 100 best restaurants in New York |
The most exciting Vietnamese food in town currently comes from this tiny and irregular weekend pop-up. Exactly which exciting Vietnamese food the eatery will give you, though, is hard to say, the US newspaper wrote.
Last summer, Jerald Head and his wife, Nhung Dao, specialised in bún đậu mắm tôm, a Hanoi-style lunch of creamy homemade tofu, compressed cubes of vermicelli, blood sausage, and other treats meant to be dipped in a fermented shrimp sauce whose potent, fish-market smell can become a minor obsession.
More recently they’ve been selling more clam-and-noodle soup swimming with dill. The main dish is announced and sold a few days ahead online, but keep an eye out for the surprise appetizers on offer, according to The New York Times.
The food outlet was founded by Vietnamese citizen Nhung Dao and her husband Jerald Head.
Located in the southeast of Manhattan, their restaurant is open only from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Fridays and from midday to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
Each set costs US$32, equivalent to VND800,000.
Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi of Japan tops the New York Times list, followed by Atomix of the Republic of Korea, and Le Bernardin of France.
The other establishments in the 100 best restaurants in New York are representatives of Italy, Puerto Rica, China, Thailand, and India.

The figure not only comprises students in tertiary and post-tertiary establishments but also those in non-degree, language, and exchange courses.
The KEDI also reported that the total number of foreign students at universities in the RoK reached a record high of 166,892, which is predicted to continue rising in the near future.
The proportion of Vietnamese students in the RoK increased from 19% to 22.7% last year. However, the majority of them only enrolled in short-term non-degree courses. Among the 42,089 students in non-degree courses in all Korean universities, Vietnamese students made up the most with 11,025 people.
According to Korean experts, Vietnam is a place where many Korean corporations have invested, along with Korean cultural factors such as "K-pop" and the former coach of the Vietnamese national football team Park Hang-Seo, which also contributed to the steady increase in the number of Vietnamese students who love and come to the country.
The RoK's Ministry of Education (MOE) is building the "Study Korea Project" to attract foreign students. At the same time, it will also promote the establishment of a new agency in charge of supporting the attraction of foreign talents.
At present, Hanyang University records the largest number of foreign students with a total of 6,999, followed by Kyunghee University (6,912), Sungkyunkwan University (6,676), Yonsei University (5,926), and Korea University (4,739).
Nine out of ten universities in the RoK with the highest number of international students are in Seoul capital city.
