It was 6:30 PM last night and we walked in to Doan's. These days, I will not venture into a place unless I read the Yelp reviews. Yelper's are the coolest reviewers when it comes to dining and providing feedback on where they visit throughout the day/week.
This place was empty. One of the employees was having either late lunch or dinner. We waved to the guy in the back and he sat us in a booth.
I feel like I am back in NYC and at a rice and noodle restaurant. You get a menu. The waiter comes back with two glasses of water and get your order then other staff member comes back with your meal. Then you ask for check and you pay and go. LOL... Believe me prices in NYC cost less than here in Charlotte when it comes to Vietnamese Food. Guess, it premium food at premium prices here.
The fried calamari was lightly breaded and tasty not heavily fried nor greasy.
Only two fried spring roll, use to getting four. It's a whole new world when it comes to dining here in NC.
Had 2 orders of the P3 Pho- The one with Eye Round and Brisket and that was very good and soup base did not have MSG or my head would be aching by now.
Ordered Vietnamese Coffee, and they came back with the coffee and a glass with ice. I wanted hot coffee, so they got a cup of hot water. It seems that everyone here gets the Iced Vietnamese Coffee. Love my coffee piping hot.
Will be back again to try their other items. Only half an hour to eat and run.
