| - A great new Vietnamese place on 17th Ave, and conveniently right near work for me! A friend at work mentioned it (I tuned out for a while wondering why he was so excited about the vegetable, watercress) and eventually realised he was talking about Vietnamese food.
I ordered by phone to takeaway and the girl on the other end was super friendly, and then I picked it up 10 minutes later. I ordered the vegetarian spring rolls ($6), which came as two large crispy spring rolls in a foam container with a small air hole to keep them crispy and a sweet chilli style dipping sauce (for which they checked to see if I was vegetarian to offer me a vegetarian sauce if needed - I didn't, but it was very sweet that they checked). The spring rolls were still crispy even after I walked home and reheated them slightly, and packed full of veggies which was nice. I also had the Sweet Chilli Lime Chicken Wrap (aka rice paper rolls, $7.75), which came sliced up like sushi on a bed of sweet chilli sauce - around 10 pieces. It was nice and light (and sort of balanced out my spring rolls!) with pieces of fresh herbs, crispy spring roll chips and vermicelli in there.
The place was pretty quiet when I picked up my order with only two people dining in, but it was around 8:30pm on a Wednesday night. It was pretty big, clean and modern - looked like a great place to stop in for a quick and fairly healthy and cheap bite to eat.
