Hue Thai is the Vietnamese restaurant I go to when either 1. I'm in a group where everyone has different tastes/likes and 2. When it's either too early in the morning for any other Asian restaurant to be open. Most dishes manage to just be average, perhaps due to it's expansive menu of Vietnamese and Thai dishes.
A couple do shine... (only a little)
1. Banh Uot Cuon
2. Banh Uot - freshing dish of thin rice pancake filled with savory meat filling. Top it with fresh veggies and nuoc cham = refreshing.
3. Banh mi - for the fresh bread, but the filling is often mediocre.
4. Rice dishes
Dishes that do not shine at all....
1. Banh Cuon - is that iceberg lettuce I see in there? ew.
Mediocre but edible
1. Pho anything
2. Bun Bo Hue
3. Banh Canh
Conclusion: Go here if you're hungry and you have no where else to go. It will get you over the hump until you find something better.
