| - Spring has finally begun to appear and of course this means folks are out and about catching sun rays, whether at the park, along the water, and of course, on patios and terraces. So we figured it was as good a time as any to try out the patio at Hoai Hoang, just a couple blocks from our place. It was one of the few Vietnamese spots that we had yet to eat at, and it seems like a popular spot every time we walk by.
We lucked out and found a patio table, and both ordered the BBQ pork chop and shrimp with rice and salad. Safe choice. That said, the dish for me ended up not being that memorable. Though the sauce was tasty, the pork chop was a little overlooked and dry, and the shrimp was just okay. The salad seemed like it had been sitting around on the plate for awhile.
Maybe this wasn't a specialty dish, but next time I'll stick with the pho. Hard to go wrong with that.
The patio did make the experience much nicer, and the service was solid.
