| - Whenever I get back 'home' I make sure to stop by Minh-Anh Vietnamese Restaurant. Cheap eats and oh so good! I currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where good Vietnamese food abounds, but Minh-Anh's is the best Vietnamese home cooking I've had yet. It's been a favorite of mine for over 15 yrs now!
I always start with the sweet chrysanthemum (hot) tea. I found their vegetarian fried egg rolls were too much roll and not enough filling, however, their fresh shrimp rolls were delish. My usual is their vegetable lo mein (with rice noodles); a large serving with a variety of veggies, and lots of them. And by large, I mean enough to feed two of my sort-a-watching their weight girlfriends. Me? ... I eat it all! I'm like a starved college kid that had been living on top ramen and returned home to Mom's home cooking. And living 2500 miles away? ... Who knows when I'll be back!
My all-American, not adventurous, husband thinks their pho is great; lots of flavor and NOT salty. By far, the best he's tried in Cleveland. Eats don't seem to be spicy (a wise and I'm sure conscience choice - to appeal to their Midwestern, Cleveland clientele), but they do have Sriracha hot chili sauce on the tables.
There are a few spaces for street parking in front and ample parking in back. They're Vietnamese market was attached at one time, but they have expanded and moved to a bigger space next door. It's not located in the best of neighborhoods (54th & Detroit), and may be the humblest of places, but it's clean, the service is prompt, the prices low and the food is yum-o.
