Viet Citron, Burlington MA

Thanks to all who posted and especially to @Ferrari328 for the gorgeous pics. I ordered for takeout: chili lemongrass pork ribs with rice, veggies and pickles with chili garlic fish sauce (veggies hidden under sauce container), crispy pork belly and Mama Tran’s Chili Garlic Paste. All delicious! The chili lemongrass pork ribs were deliciously charred and full of flavor and the crispy pork belly was the crispest I can remember eating.

I acknowledge those who wanted more acidity in the pickles; I agree. But I have just returned from a quite wonderful but deprived-of-all-but-mainstream-American-flavors-in-takeout-food 15 month COVID exile in Maine and it was a real effort not to consume the entire thing. There are 2-3 meals’ worth left.

If you order online, your order will be on the counter to the right behind the cashier, beautifully packed. Masks are required for entry TG because I am truly horrified by how few masks I have seen in indoors public places in MA these last few days.
