| - So even though I have a Vietnamese bf and have since gained an entire group of Vietnamese family and friends here in DC who only eat Vietnamese food, I was never fond of this particular cuisine.
Enter Hue Thai. My family in Vegas took me here when I visited for the first time with said Vietnamese boyfriend. I guess they figured feeding him Vietnamese food would be familiar and comforting. Hah. Of course I wasn't too excited but I didn't fuss.
Hue Thai has a huge menu. I'm pretty rigid about what I eat at Vietnamese restaurants - I barely stray from the familiar, so I ordered my usual Com Bo Lac (steak cubes, rice, and veggie). It's usually the most Americanized food I can find, which is just fine with me!
Anyway, I chowed down on my Viet food!!! It was pretty damn good and flavorful. The steak cubes are served with onions and tomatoes, and it's a pretty big portion.
The rest of the family ordered the usual suspects: Pho, Banh Mi, & Egg Rolls. My boyfriend wasn't too impressed with the Pho (homemade is usually always the best, right?), but he was satisfied overall.
I've been here a few times and the service is spotty. Sometimes they're really friendly and other times they are just there, going through the motions.
If you are in the area, this place is great for groups though, and worth a try.
