Come the stroke of ten, Drew Nieporent Michael Bao Huynh's latest riff on Modern Vietnamese, suddenly becomes a downright deal with a new 10 After 10 PM menu.While Michael's dinnertime fare successfully elevates regional Vietnamese to a plane of elegance, the 10 After 10 PM brings it right back to its down dirty beginnings in the markets of Saigon. Blissfully peppered with wild game, pork and hog, not one of these late-night plates exceeds ten dollars: BBQ quail with sticky rice, corn coconut fritters and pork buns.

Drew Nieporent is one of the handful of successful restaurant entrepreneurs in New York City. There is probably formula to the operations of his kitchens and the way his restaurants run. I have found a consistent thread. His latest addition to the Myriad Group is Mai House. Mai House is located in Tribeca where the majority of Nieporent restaurants are.

With a number of prominent restaurants in his back pocket (Nobu, Centrico & Tribeca Grill), Drew Nieporent has set his sights...across the street from his flaship Nobu hotspot. This newest venture is a truly a team effort with Chef Michael Bao Huynh, who's had his own fair share of restaurant success (Bao 111 & Bao Noodles). Drew has left both the modern design and menu in Michael's capable hands at Mai House. This restaurant is an an exercise in feng shui chic, an exploration of modern Vietnamese architecture and cuisine. Unlike many fusion style spots to come before, Mai House isn't a watered down version of Vietnames fare, but rather the real deal.

Drew Nieporent isn’t accustomed to doing things quietly. With Nobu, TriBeCa Grill, and Montrachet (among others) in his restaurant empire, he knows how to make a splash. So it is surprising that when the Times published its fall restaurant preview, there was no mention of a new Vietnamese restaurant from Nieporent’s Myriad Restaurant Group. Was Nieporent trying to downplay expectations? If so, he needn’t have worried. Mai House, which opened just nine days ago, is a hit.
