Annam
Sarsaparilla Braised Oxtail Dumplings

Annam is next-level Vietnamese cuisine from talented chef Jerry Mai, a Vietnamese-born refugee raised in Australia who has worked under world-renown chefs like David Thompson. The menu reflects what Jerry Mai would likely serve at a dinner party. Sumptuous dishes include the Sarsaparilla Braised Oxtail Dumplings - the oxtail is braised in fish sauce and syrupy thick jus-like sarsaparilla (a drink popular in years past) until it melts.

These dumplings are generous bursting with sarsaparilla-infused oxtail, yet they are also delicate and well-formed.

Annam has a playful, yet brilliant, menu with many signatures and Jerry Mai’s mantra is to “chow down in Chinatown.” The restaurant is well designed and modern.
