Vinh Long’s dual Vietnamese-Japanese dining style is the result of owner Owen Nguyen’s previous employment in a Japanese restaurant. Nine years ago, he brought that experience to bear at Vinh Long (also the name of his wife’s birthplace), where a decor of golden fortune cats, plump Buddhas, bamboo cuttings and landscape photographs create a spare Pan-Asian ambiance, while tempuras, dumplings and stir fries bolster an excellent repertoire of soothing soups. Don’t miss the beef and carrot soup or the iced coffee brewed tableside.
