| - This is a really small Vietnamese restaurant run and operated by mostly the members of a Vietnamese family. The dad works in the kitchen, the daughters work the front (waitress, busser, cashier). Counting the number of seats available, the capacity is probably 34 at the most.
The menu is full of pictures to help you with ordering, if you are not familiar with Vietnamese food. The price is pretty reasonable, not the cheapest and probably not the most expensive by off-Strip Vietnamese restaurant standards.Most items are under $10.
Their Chicken Wings (comes with 3) is pretty good. It has nice flavor and has crispy exterior. It is served with some salt and pepper, which you are supposed to squeeze some lime juice to form a very traditional Vietnamese condiment. I think the chicken is good on its own, but the salty citrus flavor gives it a new depth of flavor.
I also tried their combination pho on this visit. The broth was good, on the mild flavor side, but not greasy (I like that!). The tendons that was in my bowl was very soft, indication that it was simmered for hours to get that nice texture. The herbs and bean sprouts served with the pho is also very very fresh. It is just a minor detail, but it is all of the little things done right that makes something as pedestrian as pho to be elevated to the next level. Gotta love that.
And I was told by one of my friend that this little restaurant is considered the best Vietnamese restaurant in Las Vegas by other Vietnamese! And after trying some of their food, I can see why. I will definiately be back for the delicious food and friendly service.
