Join us for a taste of elegant Vietnamese food at Nue!

From the Washington Post:

They hook me at first bite: a trio of plump local oysters, warm from the grill and nestled in their shells with buttermilk seasoned with fish sauce, garlic, lemon zest and black pepper. Sprinkled with crushed toasted peanuts and finished with honey-scallion oil, it goes down with each slurp like oyster stew with verve. Chile oil wontons, fluttery as ghosts in their bowl, sport juicy fillings of shrimp and pork; octopus gets a massage of shrimp paste before a rope of it is charred on the grill and staged atop a Fresno chile emulsion. Nue’s appetizers focus on ingredients from the deep blue sea, with the exception of a rich chicken liver mousse. Billed as phở pâté, the first course is seasoned like the Vietnamese noodle soup with five-spice powder and cilantro and scooped up with crullers.

The most immediately identifiable Vietnamese small plate is chả giò, nubby egg rolls filled with a mouthwatering combination of crab, shrimp and pork, plus starchy taro and sweet carrots. We bundle the hot daggers in cool lettuce leaves and plunge them into fish sauce tamed by sugar and electric with lime juice. As we devour the snack, Falls Church retreats and Saigon takes hold, or so our mouths lead us to believe.

Nue treats dessert like earlier courses — differently. Lincoln logs of cake, made with yuca and coconut, arrive on a plate that’s dusted with powdered sugar and filled out with a royal purple scoop of ube ice cream sprinkled with coconut. The fingers of cake are crisp to the touch and chewy like mochi in the center.
