A modern Vietnamese room on Forsyth doing coffee, cocktails, and cooking with equal seriousness
Phê works the full day on Forsyth Street — Vietnamese coffee and pastries early, a proper kitchen and a cocktail list later. The coffee program is the anchor and is treated with more precision than the category usually gets in New York, but the food is not an afterthought: clay pot fish, sharp herb salads, a bánh mì on properly crackly bread. The room is bright and modern in a way that reads more Saigon than Chinatown-nostalgia, which is clearly deliberate. It sits a few doors from Mắm and the two make a strong argument for this block.
