| - Nestled in a not so great neighborhood (pretty safe though), I found this place in a book called, Ethnic Eats. Plenty of parking yes, very courteous, friendly staff, interiors were clean and tidy. The menu was not very extensive, which is a good thing, the longer the menu the more substandard the fare. I ordered the crepe with chicken filling, it was huge!!
The crepe filled the entire dinner plate and was stuffed with bean-sprouts, lots of chicken and mushrooms, there was a small side of salad and delicious pickled radish and carrots. When I bit into the crepe, I realized to my delight that it was made with coconut milk.
The best was yet to come, the server dropped off a vial of what looked like ordinary duck sauce. I uncorked it, fully expecting a viscous sweet sauce, instead it streamed out, the consistency of soy sauce and released the pungent aroma of anchovies. I'm never going back to store bought duck sauce again. Ever.
Perfect compliment to the meal was the Vietnamese hot coffee with condensed milk, although it could be improved upon by adding milk instead of the hot water.
It's a bit of a hike all the way from Highland Heights but well worth it.
