Đi Ăn Đi

Đi Ăn Đi (often written Di An Di; Vietnamese for “let’s go eat”) opened May 18, 2018, at 68 Greenpoint Avenue from Kim Hoang, Tuan Bui, and chef Dennis Ngo, the team behind the Lower East Side’s now-shuttered An Choi. The house framed the project as Vietnamese American cooking with phở at the center. Executive chef Caroline Hahm now leads the kitchen. The signature is Phở Thìn Hà Nội, a northern-style bowl with wok-seared brisket, scallions, pickled garlic, chili, and an egg yolk; other draws include chả giò, bánh xèo, sizzling turmeric fish, and salads meant for sharing with house sauces. The Infatuation has long treated the pastel, plant-filled room as essential Brooklyn Vietnamese; Eater covered the opening as a stylish phở den. Book on OpenTable; solo bar seats are easier than peak weekend tables.

Diners praise the Hanoi phở, turmeric fish, spring rolls, cocktails, and the bright plant-filled room. Noise and crowds hit at peak; waits stretch without a reservation; several shareables climb the check once they join the soup. Broth or seasoning can feel inconsistent across visits; prices high for the portion for some. Book ahead, order phở plus at least one shareable, and sit at the bar for solo soup nights.
