At Tapalaya, chef Anh Luu fuses her Vietnamese cooking heritage with the Cajun and creole cuisine of her hometown of New Orleans. Vietnamese fish sauce wings ($14), jambalaya with charred Brussels and baguette ($24), crawfish nachos ($16), fried catfish ($22) and other delicious marriages of culture and cuisine fill the menu at this reliably busy bistro. $$$.
