| - I don't understand why restaurants specializing in banh cuon choose to reheat dishes that have already been made! What's up with this disease that's running rampant at banh cuon restaurants all over town? I don't get it.
Anyway, here's the lowdown:
1. This place reminds me of Vietnam. It's very nostalgic in that sense (dirty, missing washroom, grimy, amazing).
2. Pho was a solid 3.5 stars. Only one size, slightly oily and cloudy broth, but tasty. Tendon is nice. $6.
3. Banh cuon was meh. You could tell it was heated in a microwave as the sweet sweet innards were piping hot. Plus it came out in about 2 minutes. Still though, it was like $4.50...not too bad of a risk, but not worthy of the "Banh Cuon" in the restaurant's name.
4. Location...not so good if you don't live in the area. Not really a destination place with so many other (better options) closer to the core.
5. Huge +1 -- super cheap and no tax. A pho, banh cuon, and duck noodle soup came to $18. You can't beat that.
Overall, it's acceptable but not worth the trek out that way.
