| - On my first visit I got the com dac biet, which was excellent, though the pork pate was not to my taste. The second time, I got the lotus root salad and caramelized catfish. The former was good but the latter was incredible; it had an intense sweet and salty flavor that was different from anything I've had before. My companions ordered spring rolls, pho, and some vegetable tofu dishes, and seemed very happy with their orders, though I didn't get to try them.
This has to be the best Vietnamese restaurant in the area. The waitress/owner told us that "I cook for Asians," and it certainly seems like compared to other local Vietnamese restaurants, Truc's menu is broader and more oriented toward Vietnamese rather than Asian tastes. They do have all the standard dishes like pho, com and bun thit nuong, but they also have lots of other stuff I'm not familiar with. I look forward to going back and trying other things.
