Falansai ("fuh-lan-sigh") is a Vietnamese-Mexican restaurant by chef Eric Tran located in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn. Just past historical warehouses and vintage clothing shops, you will discover the unique approach to elevated fusion where distinctive Vietnamese and Mexican flavors are artfully remixed with the best seasonal ingredients, while good vibes pulse in the background.

Explore our signature Super and Classic Dac Biet dinner menus or dive into some of our celebrated dishes from the A La Carte options.

Falansai was established in 2013, and reimagined in 2020. Henry Trieu originally opened Falansai in 2013 and named the restaurant for his father's pronunciation of the word "français." Henry closed the restaurant in early 2020 and sold it to Chef Eric Tran. Falansai "2.0" was reimagined in November of 2020. As a Vietnamese-Mexican and American from Chi-Town (and now New Yorker), diners can expect the unexpected from Eric's cooking.

Falansai "Dac Biet" Tasting Experience
$58.00 per person
Multiple dates available
At $58 per person, the Dac Biet is a three-course tasting that starts with our signature Dad’s Egg Rolls & papaya-vermicelli salad served family style. The second course is a diner’s choice of one main event: Honey Glazed Pork Shoulder, Black Sea Bass, or Lemongrass Beef Skewers over Vietnamese broken rice, with seasonal vegetables in broth. Final course is a chef’s choice dessert. All savory items are enjoyed with an abundance of house pickles, ferments, and sauces. Flavors and cooking techniques reflect Chef Eric’s heritage as a Vietnamese-Mexican American. We recommend full table participation. We can accommodate vegetarians and vegans.

Flavors and cooking techniques reflect Chef Eric’s heritage as a Vietnamese-Mexican American.

Excellent, friendly, accommodating service. Inventive, flavorful food made with a lot of care and attention. But also a fun, easy place. Worked well for our group of six. On NYT's top 100 restaurant list for a reason.

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.
