Anh and Chi

Anh and Chi (“brother and sister”) opened in April 2016 at 3388 Main Street, the longtime home of the Nguyễn family’s Pho Hoang. Siblings Amélie and Vincent Nguyễn rebuilt the room with midcentury design while keeping mother Lý Nguyễn’s kitchen at the center. Michelin awards Bib Gourmand and describes the menu as a love letter to Vietnam, citing banana-blossom softshell crab salad, grilled prawn mousse with herbs, and pho. The restaurant markets consecutive Bib years 2022-2025. Patio seating and cocktails make it as much a neighborhood hangout as a noodle shop.

Diners come back for fresh herbs, polished vermicelli bowls, patio energy, and cocktails that make Main Street feel like a hangout as much as a noodle stop. Families and date tables both show up; softshell crab salad and shareable starters get named often. Weekend patio waits are part of the deal.

Prices sit above strip-mall pho, and the room fills early when the weather is good. People hunting a late nhậu bar with inventive drinks usually walk next door to Good Thief. Anh and Chi is the sit-down family Vietnamese flagship.
