| - My wife wanted us to try this new place out. And, I am glad that we did.
The restaurant is located kinda on the outskirts of Chinatown. It is located within the Koreatown mall complex. Unfortunately, there is not alot of activity within this mall. We did not think it was a very good location to have a restaurant... kinda out of the way and kinda hidden.
If you are facing the mall, it is on the right corner slot.
As you walk in, it is a pretty nice place. However, there were not alot of patrons when we were there (granted it just opened).
The menu selection is huge. We ordered a glass of water, thai tea, banh kho, bun bo hue, and pho dac biet.
Okay, the water tasted like bleach. Yeah, it did not go over well. Great thing is that I mentioned it to the manager and she gave me a free bottle of water instead. That was very sweet of her.
The Thai Ice Tea was good. Little bit too rich; however, I just poured more water to make it less powerful.
My favorite dish was the banh kho. It is like patties topped with some fried onions, shrimp, and other spices. You wrap this patty in lettuce, mince, herbs, etc.. and dip it into some fish sauce. It was great. Only issue was that they did not give us enough lettuce. Wish they did.
The bun bo hue was okay. It was not too spicy. Such a shame!! wish it was. Also, I was disappointed that they did not have the pork feet. Hey man, what can I say????
My wife tried the Pho Dac Biet. She said it was good. The broth was very tasty and better than most places.
As for service, they were really good. Since we were the only ones in the restaurant, we had great service!
As for price, it was a bit more expensive than most vietnamese restaurants. I guess they have to charge more because of the distance and less clients.
Overall, my wife and I really like this restaurant. Service was excellent, food was not that bad ~ actually above average and good, and price was okay. Personally, I think this is one of the better vietnamese restaurants in china town.
We would be back!
Thanks and enjoy
