  • It's tucked away, but if you look for a red neon sign in a ram-shackled house, you'll know that you've just stumbled onto Pinky's. This cozy spot is a pretty dazzling mix of kitsch meets cool. Once your eyes adjust to the dark you'll get a kick out of the dollar store streamers, strings of red lantern lights, floral accents, and eye-catching mementos. It also makes you wonder if you've instantly time traveled to a past Vietnam that's a bit more raucous, a bit more fun. But the music is strictly present day hip hop. They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait. Even in the middle of a snow storm on a Friday night the place was packed but luckily we eventually managed to nab some seats at the bar. We started off with some Foco Locos (your choice of juice, mixed with herbs and rum) before diving into the menu. Everything sounded ridiculously good but we narrowed it down to our final five. The Tiger's Milk Ceviche was really nice and fresh. Good acidity from the lime. The tree nuts gave the dish some added texture along with the taro chips. Not spicy at all surprisingly, despite the peppers which suited my taste perfectly. Next was the bone marrow. I've never had bone marrow like this before! They almost looked like sushi rolls. But instead of rice in seaweed there was an array of veggies drenched in fish sauce wrapped with thinly sliced beef. The Mango Papaya Salad with grilled octopus was also a great dish. Very light and refreshing. The meat was really tender as well. All of these starters were a great way to prep our palate for the So Fly! Rice. I've had fried rice many times but never with soft shell crab and fish roe. This is an excellent dish. Not only is it flavorful but it's so well balanced. You get the sweetness and the crunch of the crab meat mixed in with rice and fish sauce and as you begin to chew, fish roes are exploding in your mouth. It's the ultimate flavor bomb. The only thing that would have made it even better would be a runny egg that you could break and mix with the rice. The last dish we got was the Mushroom Vermicelli. I was really excited for this since I love mushrooms and this dish boasts that it includes five kinds. But I was a bit disappointed that there weren't many in the actual dish, it was mostly vermicelli and oyster mushroom sauce. This dish was good but after a while the intensity of the mushroom sauce makes it difficult to eat by itself. The noodles tasted a bit al dente (might have been buckwheat noodle instead of regular rice vermicelli which would have gone soggy fast). I would highly recommend this place though! It has such a nice vibe and the food is excellent.
