This is the best bo tai chanh in Houston. Stop by for ultra-thin slices of rare beef lightly cured in lime covered in ngo om, a Vietnamese herb with notes of cumin and lemon. Try the bo tai chanh with a Negra Modelo, and see how the fermented pineapple sauce brings out the caramel notes in the beer.
