Falansai: Where Vietnamese and Mexican Flavors Collide

Falansai is a unique culinary experience, blending the vibrant flavors of Vietnam and Mexico. Chef Eric Tran, a Vietnamese-Mexican himself, has created a menu that challenges traditional ideas of "American" cuisine.

Located in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn, Falansai offers a constantly evolving menu that utilizes seasonal and local ingredients. Expect an electric array of dishes that highlight fermentation, house-made charcuterie, and unexpected flavor combinations.

Start your meal with the must-try confit duck necks, a testament to Chef Tran's innovative approach. The menu also features a variety of other tempting options, including shaken beef, autumn rolls with red beet, and a veggie combo with Chinese okra, lotus roots, and spicy green beans.

Falansai's beautiful backyard with a water pond provides a relaxing and inviting atmosphere, perfect for small groups, romantic dinners, or anyone seeking a culinary adventure.

    Food was delicious, service was great and wine list had some gems. Overall a nice night but we didn’t feel like the value of the tasting menu was worth it relative to the menu. One of the tasting menu courses was literally a single dumpling each. A few of us were still hungry after the full thing, was $85 per person without drinks, tax or tip. Would have preferred to order a bunch of dishes a la carte and share.

    The restaurant was great. It was a good amount of food, unlike some tasting menus. The food was all great and interesting. We definitely want to go back and try some of the other dishes we didn't get last time.

    Food: incredible (I wish all the hot sauces were on my table every day) Value: Dac Biet is a fantastic price point for what you get and the curried vegetables are not to be missed Atmosphere: Like hanging out in the living room of a 1970s tropicalia music producer

    We had a great time at Falansai - everything was delicious, the wine pairings were great, and the servers very attentive and friendly. The noise level was a bit high when we got there but can't blame the restaurant for being wildly popular :) the egg rolls and the pork shoulder were particularly good. great experience, would love to go again.

    We went with the tasting menu and it was phenomenal. The blend of Vietnamese and Mexican food is amazing and just works. Service was splendid. I can really recommend this restaurant.
