Best Vietnamese food in the city! I go all the time, and it is a good thing I don't live closer or I would be there every day! The barbeque pork is the best. #22 comes with the pork, some shrimp chips and these beautiful wide rice noodles that are soft and delicious! I like taking a little of everything and putting it on a shrimp chip and dunking it in the fish sauce.
The beef in vine leaves is amazing. You wrap up some meat and veggies with the rice vermicelli in a rice paper and roll them up yourself. The peanut sauce is not typical peanut butter sauce (and that is a good thing!) It has chunks of peanuts and is a little bit spicy. Wonderful!
The wonton soup is amazing, with fluffy wontons and garlic chives in their amazing broth.
The combos come with a great little soup, a crunchy imperial roll and the best grilled chicken I have ever eaten. The beef is amazing too, but I have a soft spot for the chicken.
Whenever I feel under the weather, their pho makes me feel better. They'll pack anything to go, and the soup comes in a separate container from the noodles and beef (with the veggies in a bag) so you can leave it till later for dinner and it is almost as good as eating it right away.
I also have to get an iced coffee every time I go. They use real Vietnamese coffee and you have to wait till it is done brewing at your table, then stir the coffee to mix in the condensed milk at the bottom of the cup and then pour it over the glass of ice that comes with it. Amazing! Hard to drink just one.
Great restaurant!
