First time here for happy hour and had a great time.
I like Bac a lot. It's unpretentious, affordable, and the food and drink is decent.
My friend and I split the shrimp steam buns, chicken satay, and edamame. I was pleasantly surprised with the shrimp steam buns--I could have gotten another order. Chicken satay was good. Edamame was just alright. I bet you're thinking how could edamame be just alright? It didn't seem fresh to me or of good quality. They also doused it in salt which was way too much.
As per usual, we each had to have an order of the fried ice cream. IT'S THAT GOOD. You can't come to Bac and not order the fried ice cream.
I decided to be adventurous tonight and try a Bac cocktail. I went with the Lychee Mojito since I am a huge lychee juice fan. It was delicious, but it didn't taste like there was much alcohol in it. My friend went with the Pimm's #1 and the Mekong. Both are made with ginger beer. I'd recommend all three.
Also, our server Tony was sexy as hell with his long scraggly beard and man bun.
