Tucked into a storefront in Dorchester, this kitschy, ultracasual Vietnamese café is worth seeking out. And though most patrons are Vietnamese, everyone on staff speaks English, if slightly broken. Seven courses of beef for two features bo nhung dam (thinly sliced beef cooked at the table in a hot pot); bo lui (beef skewers marinated in garlic, pepper, lemongrass, sesame, and soy sauce); and cha dum (steamed ground beef with salt and pepper, peanuts, lemongrass, and onions), each of which is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Or, opt for fragrant, chicken, beef, tripe, or meatball pho plus stir-fried options and satisfyingly crunchy spring rolls.
