More than a few people were disappointed and/or outraged in August of 2009 when Jonathan Ansfield and Amy Li announced they felt essentially forced out of The Stone Boat in Ritan Park after five years of building it as a business (see here). The pair now plans to return to the food and drink scene by opening a Vietnamese restaurant.
The place will be called Susu and i near the Natonal Art Museum. Ansfield describes it as a “courtyard kitchen“, says the finishing touches are being put on the menu, and aims to have the restaurant open in early May. I talked to someone today who has already visited the place and he said it looks very good. I’ll have more details on this place soon.
I must admit I’m excited; I dreamed about cha ca after I heard that Susu was going to make it – delicious, greasy fried fish with herbs. Can’t wait!
@ shelley,
Both chefs hail from Vietnam so it looks like the place is determined to deliver authenticity.
Cheers, Boyce
This place is going to be yummy. I have eaten the food served by Kim Yen, a consultant to the restaraunt. She has a perfect eye for detail and her food is always delicious. Cant wait to try this place. Addie
