Profile

Michael “Bao” Huynh already operates BarBao, Pho Sure, and proliferating Baoguettes, and the expansionist chef now opens what might be New York’s first Vietnamese beer garden. The subterranean space has been reconfigured into a front takeout counter and a ten-seat dining room and 50-seat garden that you access through a refrigerated walk-in. “Bia” means beer in Vietnamese, and the list here is all Asian, with cans and bottles served in coolers by the six-pack, twelve-pack, or case, and billed by how much is consumed. A circulating pushcart will dispense $5 bites, and the Vietnamese street-food menu is organized by plate size: small (lotus rootlet salad with shrimp and pork), medium (sambal-garlic frog), and big (fish-head hot pot with okra, taro shoots, and pineapple). — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

We had wanted to try Bia out after the "buzz". It was 7p and the hostess told us that it was full and it was a 45 minute wait. After having been told that, I asked if I could look at the interior while we wait outside. She told us a flat out NO. What the #$%^&???? To be denied to look at an establishment???? PRETENTIOUS BE-OTCH AND PRETENTIOUS PLACE. I have told everyone on my food blog to never ever go to this whack "vietnamese" beer garden.
