On this day of gratitude and appreciation, we like to give our heartfelt thanks to all that have been part of our journey. But all good things must come to an end.

This week will be the final run of Bolero in the form that it is.

We are grateful to have the opportunity over the years to give back to a city that has given us so much. Humbled, to make a ripple, in the greatest eating city of all. To be a part of the history of this new movement in Vietnamese Cuisine, bringing new ideas to deeper aspects of our culture.

Whether in a guest or staff, it’s a beautiful thing to see learning in a bite of food, a prep technique, a glance around the dining room, a sway of a leaf in the tea garden, a closer look at an oil lamp on the table. All are little but important moments in the passing of knowledge of a culture still under-represented. So a heartfelt thanks to everyone for the open mindedness to experience it all.

Our last day of service is Sunday, Feb 19th. We would love to see you throughout this week for a final hurrah, to share memories over a plate of food, toast appreciation to what we accomplished and the new paths to come, and to eat, cook and dance the celebration that we call Bolero.

Our Bánh Bò Nướng // Pandan Honeycomb Cake under the mastery of
Chef .j.choi resembles a cross section of a honeycomb thanks to the single acting baking soda. It’s one of the more difficult recipes in the Vietnamese canon. No gluten, just rice, tapioca, egg. Normally done in America with Pandan Extract to add a green hue and vanilla-like flavor. But we feel Vietnamese Desserts deserve better, so we extract chlorophyll from Pandan leaf. As it bakes it rises to the top making a beautiful effect from yellow (egg) to green (pandan). We sear it in butter, and pair with pistachio spread and asian pear jam for a sweet tartness. Be prepared for a double effect because it calls back to French Toast from American breakfast (without the gluten) and Vietnamese sweets all in one bite.

You can now get our Littlenecks as a main course as well—in the form of Cơm Hến. Saffron Clam broth, shrimp paste, broken rice, lemongrass, banana flower, jicama, Star fruit, Berkshire cracklings, beef tendon puffs and sesame cracker to crumble in. Mix everything up enjoy. Traditionally made with baby clams and usually not with saffron. But I’m sure if the Huế Villagers that first made dish could afford saffron, they would have thrown it in cus it taste so so good.

Lobster Mushrooms are back in the curry and they’re in peak season. Looks, feels and umami’s like a actual lobster but vegan. Comes with fresh baby corn and fermented fried taro potato. And a sprinkle of Cajun spices as an ode to all the Vietnamese fisher and shrimp-men down in Louisiana. There’s a reason why Vietnamese love seafood boils so much!
