| - #58 Phan Banh Hoi with Bo Nuong La Lot ($13.95) Woven Vermicelli with Grilled Beef in Betel Leaf. Served with the usuals: romaine lettuce, various fresh herbs, pickled daikon and carrots, and cucumbers. This dish also came with rice paper to make your own rolls. Plus, their fish and anchovy sauces. Amazingly delicious and a great interactive dish. You dip the rice paper in a bowl of hot water for just a bit to get it pliable and build whatever you want. I loved putting every component in it with a touch of Sriracha; perfection. The ground beef patty in betel leaf was so flavorful. I loved everything!
#59 Banh Xeo ($10.95): Vietnamese Crepe filled with shrimp, meats, and lots of vegetables including bean sprouts. I've had crepes very similar to this in Thailand, so definitely already a fan. It also comes with romaine lettuce, various fresh herbs, pickled daikon and carrots, and cucumbers. The crepe is more egg-like and very thin and crispy. I don't really care for the uncooked bean sprouts, but otherwise, great dish and low-carb!
#37 Com (Rice) comes with 1 item ($8.95), 2 items ($10.95), or 3 items ($12.95). We opted for three items: Suon Nuong (Pork Chop), Bo Nuong (Charbroiled Beef), and Tom Nuong (Charbroiled Shrimp). I absolutely love rice. Especially Jasmine rice. I'll eat it as much as I can get it. The meats were all very packed with flavor and so delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed this dish and would eat it every day. The second time I ordered this dish, I got the Charbroiled Short Rib instead of the Beef (it tastes very similar to Korean Kalbi).
#62 Goi Ngo Sen Tom Thit (Sm, $7.95): Lotus Root Salad with shrimp and pork; dressed with fish sauce. The salad has a nice balance of textures with the same great vegetables and herbs available on most dishes.
There are still other Vietnamese specialties I'm eager to try and I've really enjoyed everything, so I'm definitely visiting again soon!
