Mecha means "mom and pop" in Vietnamese. We are paying homage to our upbringing and to all of the hidden gems across the country. (It should be noted that you only use the two words together [mẹ cha] when you are cursing at someone). From Vietnamese pho to Japanese ramen -- we serve some of Asia's most comforting dishes. Among other things, we do riffs on food that can be found in the streets of southeast Asia. Don't call us "fusion" or a sushi restaurant, there are plenty of those in Connecticut. We are American-Vietnamese-Japanese-Thai-Chinese-Korean-New-England-Momofuku-Totto-and-Ippudo-inspired.
