A new Asian fusion spot has opened its doors in the neighborhood. Located at 500 H St. NE in Capitol Hill, the fresh addition is called The Red Boat Asian Fusion.
The website of the Baltimore import suggests that its phở is as traditional and authentic as possible. Diners can choose the broth (beef, spicy beef, vegan vegetable or vegan tom yum), two proteins (including rare round eye, brisket, meatball or chicken) and extra add-ons (like tofu, shrimp or noodles).
And that's just the beginning. The joint's customizable rice bowl can start with a Vietnamese lemongrass chicken, for example, then veer into Japanese territory with a teriyaki sauce, only to end on a Korean note with a kimchi add-on. Plus, kimchi fries are served with bulgogi beef, tacos are filled with fried tofu, and hot dogs come in "Saigon" or "K-Town" styles.
Then there's one last choice to make: Do you pair your meal with a Vietnamese iced coffee, a Thai iced tea or coconut juice?
The Red Boat Asian Fusion has made a good impression thus far, with a 3.5-star rating out of nine reviews on Yelp.
Austin G., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Feb. 6, wrote, "I ordered a K-town hot dog and Saigon hot dog. Both were delicious. They take bold flavors and put them on a thick hot dog. It works."
And Aminata S. wrote, "I opted for a beef broth phở with chicken and shrimp, and it wa amazing. You get all of the standard fixings, and the serving size is great as well. When I dined in, the wait time was a bit longer than usual for phở, but it was totally worth it."
Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. The Red Boat Asian Fusion is open from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. on Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m.–8 p.m. on Sunday.
