| - I never come to this area of the city, however I asked the lady who cut my hair where she thought might be a good place for Vietnamese food.
I will review that place after I'm finished with this one.
Okay it's a small place located in a strip mall, just down the street from the Forest Lawn High school. They have a few lunch specials listed on the outside in the window. You can order (sweet and sour pork with fried rice), (chicken wings with fried rice), (wonton soup and spring rolls), and (ginger beef with fried rice). All of these were for $7.99 a plate. add a canned pop for $1.00.
I came in a b tiny bit apprehensive as my two boys and I were the only ones who were in the small restaurant. (The time was 11:50 a.m.). As we ordered, the restaurant did get busier. I would say about half full, and they were doing a fairly steady takeout (pick-up) business as well.
As for the food, the fried rice was good (a huge portion), and the chicken wings were over battered. (tasty otherwise). The sweet and sour pork combo was good, it came with the same big portion of fried rice and the sweet and sour pork was the usual with green peppers, onions, and pineapple. The spring roll wasn't anything to write home about. (It was average).
I never had a chance to look at the menu, as I asked for the lunch specials that were on the front window. The tables that were in front and behind me, ordered combination meals. (combo A's) to be exact. When those plates came out, they were a heaping plate full of fried rice, ginger beef ?, and mixed vegetables.
( I think if I go back, I'll try a combo).
The restaurant itself is small ( about 10-12 tables ) most are tables for 4. I think if memory serves me correctly they had a bigger round table that could seat 5.
This restaurant also sells bbq pork by the lb. as well as bbq duck. Its like the ones you would see in Chinatown hanging from the windows.
In conclusion, would I go back to this place ? Maybe if I'm in the area. The food is average, but the prices are pretty good. You can a plate full of chinese food, for the price of a Macdonald's Big Mac meal.
