| - And with last night's dinner, my love of LV has lessened a fair bit.
Specials prices continue to climb, and at 15 bucks for a pile of soggy spaghetti-like noodles, a weird, sweet, shrimp-tasting sauce, and 6 pieces of tofu... well, it's just too much cash and sadness for a chef-boyardeed Viet classic. No sharp flavors. No texture. Just a limp pile of blech.
Banh Xeo - still delish - but smaller, less filling. Detached stuffings, so an already challenging to eat plate becomes annoying.
Corners are being cut here, to the detriment of flavor, but it won't impact their mainstay clientele - which love the obsessive-servitude, the "you won't like that, try this" attitude. The service has never been charming to me, and it's just not worth an arm in the face every 3 minutes if the food's not up to par. Which, for moi, it isn't any longer. Ah well. They'll be fine.
