| - Slowly, I'm eating my way through all the Vietnamese restaurants in Charlotte. After recommendations from two people in just as many days to check out Vietnam Grille, I moseyed my way there to check it out during dinner break.
Definitely not seedy like another I recently visited, VG is bright and clean. Tiny, and packed with people on a Tuesday evening. People were bringing in their own bottles of wine, and very clearly having a good time.
Ultimately, the bun is just delectable here. Noodles not gummy, cooked just right. Plenty of grilled flavor in the chicken and meatballs. Lots of crunchy peanuts and scallions, but where was the cilantro? I usually can't get enough cilantro in my Vietnamese food, but surprisingly, I didn't miss it in this dish. Good sign.
Liked how fresh tasting everything was, and the little details like the extra long chopsticks, and carrot slivers, cut with a ripple pattern. The iced tea is nice and strong, served with lime. Biiiig plus in my book. Nothing worse than weak tea.
TIP: The service is really friendly, and the dishes came out lightening fast.
Next on my list it to try the pho!
