Vietnamese-American cuisine is a fusion of traditional Vietnamese dishes with American flavors and ingredients. It emerged as Vietnamese immigrants settled in the U.S. and adapted their recipes to local tastes. Vietnamese-American food is known for its vibrant flavors, fresh ingredients, and diverse influences.
The menu at Roster and the Pig includes various dishes that showcase Vietnamese and American culinary traditions.
To Start: Enjoy selections like Vietnamese crispy rolls, calamari with siracha mayo dipping sauce, fish sauce wings, spicy chili long beans, or caramelized port riblet.
Fresh Rolls: These fresh and healthy rolls are typically made with rice paper wrappers filled with rice noodles, lettuce, herbs, and a protein such as shrimp, pork, or beef. The shrimp roll includes mango, mint, cilantro, and mizuna. The citrus-cured beef roll includes carrots, pickled red onion, crispy shallot, and Fresno pepper.
Best to Share: There are many options for a sharable table, including rice bowls, sautéed eggplant, lemongrass pork skewers, and panko-crusted chicken stuffed curry balls. Try crispy honey chili beef or the five-spice braised beef stew for beef. Seafood options include caramelized braised catfish hot pot or the ginger scallion lobster, tiger prawn, and black mussels in a sake tamari butter sauce. For vegetarians, order sweet potato noodles with mushrooms, shishito pepper, scallion, garlic, and onion.
