Chef-owner Thai Phi’s eclectic Vietnamese menu includes bun cha gio (pork noodle salad), spicy lamb dumplings, and the beloved garlic noodles, as well as an In-N-Out “animal-style” double burger. Local brews, such as Westbrook White Thai, and a slew of fun cocktails wash it down. Counter service ensures dishes, and diners, move quickly.
