Before I start my review, I should put this out there: I'm not a big adventurer of Vietnamese cuisine. I love westernized Vietnamese; vermicelli bowls with grilled pork, satay beef soup, spring rolls, salad rolls and chicken wings. The most adventurous I've ever gotten at a Vietnamese restaurant was to try a satay vegetable noodle soup.
Song Han is the newest restaurant under Swimco on Kensington Road. I was really hoping it would be great because it is the closest Vietnamese restaurant to my house.
The restaurant has been renovated, there are lots of booths and an outdoor patio area below street level. The service was painfully slow... My date and I shared chicken wings and I tried my standard pork vermicelli spring roll bowl. The chicken wings were great. But can you really make bad deep fried chicken wings? The pork vermicelli bowl had lots of veggies, and basil, which I love but my date did not. The spring rolls were average, but they seemed like they had been sitting in a warming tray all day. Not very crispy on the outside.
Sigh, my seach must continue for good Viet near my house...
