AN OUTPOST OF AMERICAN comfort food just a short hop away from any location where the menu prices would have to compensate for higher rents, Hungry Bunny (1 Nguyen Cuu Van, D1) is a jewel-in-the-rough venue you'll definitely want to hunt down, if only to get in early before this takes off as a fashionable nightspot away from the main drag. It’s neatly tucked away just off a twist in a lesser-used thoroughfare that cuts through the area between Districts 1 and 2, and those who are actively seeking it out will be amply rewarded by genuinely tasty, home-style heart-of-the-USA dishes in a clean, striking venue surrounded by unassuming local businesses and beer dives. Hungry Bunny’s black and white interior is evenly lit by street-lantern wall fixtures with heavy incandescent bulbs and a funky ceiling installation made with offcenter rings of neon: the restaurant’s real gem, however, is its cage-concept rooftop bar, which has yet to open but is likely to become virally popular once the finishing touches are made.
