| - My beau and I ate here this morning for breakfast. He ordered #18, rice porridge with chicken, #2 spring rolls and I ordered #8 chicken noodle soup. He said the spring rolls were very good, they looked pretty substantial ingredient-wise, filled with all the customary veg, shrimp and pork. The quality of the shredded chicken in both our soups was very good, his porridge was very tasty and the perfect consistency. I must admit I am a pho-snob, I have my favorite places and recommendations; Binh Duong Quan did not have pho but a delicious chicken soup which looked like pho and came with the standard side veg of mung beans, a leafy green and lemon. It was delicious! The broth was amazingly simple with hints of garlic and onion. The quantity of chicken to noodle was perfect. It was probably some of the best chicken soup I've ever had. And I never pass up a good soup. We also each ordered a drink, total bill $26.
They give you a tray of various sauces and spices of all degrees of spiciness. They also give you nice, thick paper napkins, not like the ones we normally get which resemble paper thin napkins you'd find in a doughnut store.
Normally we hit up the large dim sum restaurant next door but we decided to give this place a whirl since the food always looks so good on the plates of the people eating there. The owner came by to check on us and he was very nice, he explained the menu was a mix of Chinese and Vietnamese and the place is named from the city in Vietnam he is from. We will definitely be back with friends!
I did not give this place 5 stars as I try to reserve 5 starts for the ultra-ultimate fine dining experiences.
