Bánh Anh Em looking closer to opening on 3rd Avenue

Bánh Anh Em has hosted pop-up events over the past two weekends at 99 Third Ave., showing the unique Vietnamese dishes that the restaurant will offer here between 12th Street and 13th Street before its grand opening next month. 

As previously noted, Nhu Ton and John Nguyen, the owners of Bánh Vietnamese Shop House on the UWS, are behind Bánh Anh Em. 

Grub Street had a preview here.

UWS hotspot Bánh Vietnamese Shop House opening a new restaurant in the East Village

The owners of the popular (and well-reviewed) UWS establishment Bánh Vietnamese Shop House are opening a sibling restaurant at 99 Third Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street. 

Signage arrived for Bánh Anh Em on Thursday. (Thanks to EVG reader Seth Treiman for the photo and tip!) 

The folks behind Bánh Vietnamese Shop House, which started as a pop-up during the pandemic "showcasing hard-to-find Vietnamese dishes in NYC," shared more details on Instagram: 

Bánh Anh Em is Chef Nhu Ton’s love letter to our culture, our country, our families and all the brothers and sisters we've met along the way. It's a reflection of the journeys Chef Nhu has taken, traveling countless times across Vietnam by motorbike, rediscovering and re-inventing herself, and deeply immersing in the craftsmanship of Vietnamese cuisine. 

We are profoundly grateful to the generations, the restaurants and the chefs who paved the way for us to be here today, and we hope to honor their spirit through every dish we craft... 

No word yet on a potential opening date.

No. 99 was previously home for two-plus years to Cutlets.
