| - Decent restaurant serving Thai and Vietnamese dishes. The menu has broad selection of noodles, soups, rice dishes, curries, and pho. You can choose from chicken, beef, tofu, and shrimp with the various noodle and rice selections.
We had lunch and was seated next to a nice indoor lotus pond with a stone Buddha and paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Wife ordered the chicken pineapple fried rice, which was cooked well and had decent "wok breath." I liked it more than she did. The rice wasn't dry at all and I liked the sauté cashews, scallions, eggs, and pineapple chunks that gave acidity to balance the savory.
I ordered the spicy SEA noodles, which came as a pile of wide rice noodles mixed with shrimp, tofu, bean sprouts and squid. It was surrounded by a pool of dark soy sauce with a vinegary aftertaste, similar to tamarind. The flavors were bold, but the sauce overwhelmed slightly. I probably should have gotten the Drunken noodles or spicy seafood soup noodles.
Still, good place to grab lunch in a dark intimate setting. Good service too. Just watch out for over-sauced dishes.
