"Oyster vermicelli is a dish that requires the kitchen to have a relationship with a fishmonger. The oysters must be fresh enough to eat raw. The thick sweet potato starch noodles have a mouthfeel that is unlike any other noodle. The sauce is sweet and savory, applied at the table."

"This is a dish that most Americans have never eaten and will not forget. The noodles have a bite that resists — not undercooked, but with a specific resistance that is the point. The oysters are barely cooked, just enough to set their shape. Do not skip this."
"Oyster Vermicelli at 886 — a bowl of cold rice vermicelli dressed in a sesame sauce, topped with fresh oysters, cucumber, and lettuce. The contrast between the cold noodles and the briny oysters makes this a summer reference dish."
