Description

Chez Thuy's menu is a history lesson told in food, the room a casually shabby clearinghouse of a thousand spices, the board reflecting a mingling of the French and Vietnamese obsessions with dining. It's a family place, friendly and welcoming to regulars and newcomers alike, with enough variety to keep people coming back for years.

  • 2006 | BEST PLACE TO GET CRABS

So you can be forgiven if you go a little nuts when the crabs (served two or three to an order) are brought to the table with a whole... More »

  • 2005 | Best French-Vietnamese Restaurant

    Since it moved into this stand-alone strip-mall space in 1993, Chez Thuy has been offering history lessons told in food. It's a casually shabby clearinghouse with menus as thick as a world atlas, each outlining the story of the cuisine of Vietnam, which, in the historical record, reads like a murderous, ill-fated yet oddly fortuitous collision of cultures and a thousand spices. When the French first came to Indochina, they did so with guns, funny hats and an idea of colonial law absolutely... More »

    Bite Me

    Recounting the history behind Chez Thuy's exquisite cuisine (see page 61), I was reminded of this episode: During the siege of the French at Dien Bien Phu by the Viet Minh, one of the last cargo drops recorded before the base was overrun... More »

    History in the Making

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, October 07, 2004

    One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the country, Dac Hoa, is in Rochester, New York. It's a small, Barton Fink-ish place, with a perpetual pall of dishwater gray light, rickety tables and peeling everything in a borderline-creepy... More »
