| - We ordered the following for breakfast:
Ban Xeo (Pan-fried flour crepe with shrimp, pork, and bamboo shoots)
Banh Mi Trung Rang (French bread sandwich with fried egg omelette)
Chao Thap Cam (Rice porridge with shrimp, pork, squid, fish ball, and imitation crab)
The Good News:
This is one of my favorite places to eat, I have become a regular here, and it is the best Vietnamese restaurant I have been to thus far in southern Arizona.
All of the entrees are always freshly and properly prepared.
The service is quick and about as friendly as it gets for a Vietnamese restaurant and the prices cannot be beat.
The crepe was cooked perfectly as was the meat and veggies inside, all of which were very tasty, and the serving size was plenty for two people.
The French bread was fresh, light, and flavorful, the egg was cooked just right for a sandwich like this, and the veggie toppings(carrots, onions, cucumber, and jalapenos) were a perfect accompaniment. My dining companion had originally decided against having a sandwich, but once she saw how much I was enjoying it she joined in and ate the other half.
The consistency of the rice porridge was just right (not too heavy or watery), there was ample portions of pork and all of the different seafood, and the serving size was plenty for two people.
The Rest of the Story:
The place is a bit run down outside and there always seems to be the usual suspects hanging out in front, but don't let that deter you.
The Verdict:
I make sure to eat here at least once or twice a month and will continue to happily do so.
