You can find Sili in a small metal booth at 1-800-Lucky. Despite its cramped quarters, there are about eight dishes on the menu, like Vietnamese street pizza made from crispy rice paper and topped with a marbled egg. There’s also pork belly lettuce wraps, hamachi crudo, and chili garlic noodles—where chili garlic butter and freshly grated parmesan come together in holy matrimony. And the pork belly is so crispy, each bite sounds like a Grand Theft Auto car crash. But our favorite thing here is the bánh mì. The hefty baguette is stuffed with pickled carrots, papaya, cucumber, cilantro, spicy mayo, a tangy house sauce, and chunks of tender lemongrass chicken we’d happily pay for all on its own. It's a great lunch option if you happen to get hungry while you’re on your Wynwood quest for street art that is actually free to look at.
