| - Best Vietnamese in Charlotte...hands down. I've tried a good portion of the menu so here are my thoughts.
Appetizers
Recommended: - tofu rolls, chicken and shrmp rolls, sauteed squid (awesome), stuffed grape leaves.
Misses: dumplings (why get dumplings at a Vietnamese restaiurant anywy), chicken salad (average).
Pho
Just go down the list...chicken pho, tendon, tripe, flank stteak...all are phenomenal. Seasoned perfectly so give it a taste before you grab the siracha or hot chili oil. I would recommend paying the extra buck or two for additional meat - and it's easily two meals.
Bun
Another home-run...the pork meatball is out of this world...typically get that with spring roll and maybe add another meatball...whoosh!
Other
Rice dishes are really good, catfish stew/soup was awesome, vegetarian dishes are solid, etc.
Ricky and Tommy are the guys you'll encounter both in the kitchen and front of house....super nice guys, tons of experience in the business and generally care that their customers are happy (sometimes a little bit overbearing but I can live with it)!
Don't be scared off by the neighborhood....it's worth the visit!
