North Austin can keep an eye out for a new Vietnamese coffee shop with options such as espresso, phin and matcha. The locally-owned and operated business is moving into a space across from ACC Highland Campus.
Known as a “Chinese sauerkraut fish” concept, the hot pot-style menu centers on the restaurant's signature dish: tender fish fillets in a tangy broth of pickled mustard greens—called Chinese pickles—chilies and Sichuan peppercorns.
