This "busy" East Midtown Asian noodle-and-barbecue joint – a member of Michael Huynh's burgeoning empire – puts forth an "affordable" menu packing "exciting flavor combinations" ranging from Vietnamese to Filipino to Malaysian; an "efficient" crew oversees the "fun", "loud" space, which is divided between a more casual front room featuring an open kitchen and a lower-lit, communal table–equipped back dining room that adjoins a small outdoor garden.
