| - My favorite restaurant in town, hands down!
Although they have a full Chinese menu, you do yourself a great disservice to order from it. Vietnamese fare is much lighter and full of flavor than what most Chinese restaurants serve!
Your best bet is to order either rice noodle soup (pho) or a noodle bowl. My absolute favorite meal of all time is Pho Tai: a bed of rice noodles topped with thinly sliced beef, green and white onions, and an amazing broth. You get to add fresh basil, lime, hot sauce (to taste), and bean sprouts. I have a nearly ritual habit of leaning over my bowl to inhale deeply of the aroma before digging in.
Vegetarians and vegans have some fairly extensive choices available as well. The Pho Che (veggie soup) is wonderful as well, with fried tofu and succulent broccoli.
If it's too hot out for you to try the soup, a cool noodle bowl topped with beef, chicken, shrimp, or tofu is just the thing!
Just how good is it? Our children (10 and 7) regularly ask to go to the Saigon Palace to have the seafood noodle soup.
