| - Tried the new Vietnamese restaurant in Crowfoot. It's about time we got a good Vietnamese restaurant. It's a family-run business. Customer service was fantastic. We were served by the niece, her aunt(owner) and uncle (chef/owner).
We ordered:
1) No.1 Spring Rolls - delicately-made spring rolls with the fish sauce for dunking the spring rolls. Very tasty.
2) No. 14 Rare Beef & Brisket Pho - very good beef broth, beef came out rare (perfection!) and the brisket was sliced thinly and was very tender. The usual plate of raw bean sprouts, mint leaves, chilli and lemon pieces were served for adding to the pho.
3) No. 22 - Special Charbroiled Lemongrass Pork Chop, Beef & Chicken - came with a bowl of rice cupped on the plate of deliciously-grilled and aromatic pork chop, beef and chicken. Also came with fish sauce to be poured all over the meat and rice if you like.
4) No. 41 Peanut Sate Beef Pho - cooked to perfection! I'm ordering the next time I go eat here! I had asked earlier if they made this pho with coconut milk or not. They said not. I explained that we've ate a similar dish with coconut milk and the lady owner said she will try to make that dish. Then, I saw a man come in and he came out later to tell me that he was the chef and the lady's husband. When the food came out, we realized that the peanut sate beef pho was made with coconut milk!! The chef surprised us with the coconutty-concoction and it was very, very good! If you like coconut milk, ask for it in this soup. It also has a nice spicy kick in the soup.
The restaurant is just starting out. They don't have Vietnamese dessert beverages like 3 beans, shaved ice with coconut milk. They have other beverages like tea, coconut water, pop, apple juice, orange juice, beer, red win and of course, Vietnamese coffee (served hot/cold).
Check out this little place!
