Viet-Thai has been favorite bun (vermicilli dish) in Charlotte. We came on a Saturday night and the place was pretty steady - short waits for larger parties, but we were able to sit down pretty quickly. We started with the papaya salad. Spice levels go up to 5, and we ordered ours at level 2 and my mouth was on fire. The salad came with small grilled shrimps, which really added to the huge plate of dressed papaya strands. This would be a perfect dish to order during the summer.
I had the grilled shrimp bun. It was perfection. Good size bowl, great fish sauce, perfectly grilled shrimp, good amount of greens. I'm interested to try their grilled chicken bun next time. I've been turned off by the recent ones I've had around Charlotte - I don't like it when the grilled chicken is cooked too dry - but I'm curious to try Viet-Thai's version.
Our servers were super helpful and made sure our beverages were constantly filled. It was a great dining experience.
