Falansai

Occupying the same corner location since 2013, this Vietnamese wonder has reemerged thanks to the direction of Chef Eric Tran. Don't be fooled by the industrial surrounds though, as it is an edgy destination for finer dining. Even the space feels updated and stylish, with dark wood-plank floors, white walls and a counter set aglow by woven rattan ceiling pendants.
Ambitious dishes with classic inspiration are the order of the day with winners like confit duck neck, rice paper handrolls and house-made pork-lemongrass sausages. For a more leisurely dining experience, consider one of the chef's affordable tasting menus, which yield inventions such as corn congee with shrimp toast or noodle stir-fry with five-spice beef.
