Matoi

纏寿司

Reservation-only Edomae omakase at a counter of about ten seats — seasonal fish flown in from Japan, cured and aged the old way, served by owner-chef TJ to a 90s hip-hop soundtrack. A one-hour option makes it easier to try.

$$$$ Parking: Easy Reservations

MNGO Cafe

Mango everything — powder-fine mango kakigori with pudding hidden inside, warm mango sticky rice, sago and smoothies — in a big, bright room built around a mango tree. Desserts are sized to share between two to four, it's open until midnight on weekends, and the plaza lot is free.

Phuong Trang

Phương Trang

Phuong Trang Vietnamese Cuisine

The family-run Vietnamese institution of Convoy, on the street since 1992 (and open since 1988) — a big, bright dining room in the Convoy Plaza center with a huge menu: pho, bun bo hue, broken rice plates, rice paper wraps you roll at the table, banh xeo, hot pots and its famous garlic butter and fish sauce wings. Whole oven-roasted catfish is the group order. Sister restaurant to PT Eatery.
