The Red Boat opened yesterday at 500 H St. NE (former Micho's location) serving up Vietnamese fusion fare including phở, bánh mi, kimchi fries, rolls, tacos, fusion hotdogs, and more. I wrote a bit about The Red Boat here in August, and also for the Hill Rag in September. The restaurant has several locations, with the original in downtown Baltimore. Their website describes their menu as "[t]raditional Vietnamese food meets variety of flavors." You'll easily spot Korean and other influences at play.



You can see some photos of the interior up on their Facebook page. I understand the menu varies a bit by location, but here are some items they previously had posted. Note that some items appear to be vegan/vegetarian friendly.

The Rolls: Includes fried spring rolls, summer rolls, tofu rolls, and bulgogi rolls.

The Dogs: The Saigon (topped with banh mi ingredients) and the K-Town (topped with kimchi and toasted seaweed).

Bánh Mi: Lemongrass chicken or pork, bulgogi, and fried tofu protein options.

Tacos: Lemongrass chicken or pork, bulgogi, and fried tofu protein options, with bánh mi fillings.

Phở: Beef broth and noodles served with choice of rare eye round, brisket, chicken, shrimp, meatball, veggie (broccoli, cabbage, & carrots). Plus, the 100% vegan Tom Yum Phở (lemongrass & chile paste flavored soup with mushrooms, basil leaf, broccoli, cabbage & carrots).

The Boat: Create your own bowl on rice, salad, or noodle, with choice of protein, toppings, and sauce.

Other Stuff: Steam pork buns with Chinese sausage, coconut shrimp, duck wontons, and sides.
