| - 3.5, but I'll round up. We came at 9 pm last night for dinner. My mom and I shared a tomato, bean curd, spicy crab paste with pork vermicelli soup ($8.25), and a large avocado milk shake ($5.25). We were pleasantly full after, but my mom wasn't hungry when we went, so that might explain a part of that.
The spicy crab paste wasn't spicy, but there was a slight seafood undertone in my very tomato-ey broth. There were also tomato chunks. My noodles had 3 slices of some kind of Vietnamese ham, 3 shrimps, 3 pieces of bean curd, and 3 pork meatballs just slightly larger than your typical Italian wedding soup meatballs. I do wish this had been a tad stronger on the spicy crab paste, and a little less on the tomatoes. It was still good though.
And this is where reviewing gets tricky. I'd give my noodles a 3, but I'd give that avocado milkshake a 5. My mom asked that we get an extra cup so we could share the milkshake. They split it for us. These are the standard Vietnamese long drink glasses, and they filled both of them up basically 80% of the way. I have no idea how they would have done it in one glass, because we got a lot of avocado milkshake. The shake itself was very creamy, without chunks, and was generous on the avocado. I dislike my avocado milkshakes tasting like vanilla ice cream. This one did not taste at all of vanilla (they probably didn't put ice cream in it), and it wasn't too sweet.
Service was prompt and for a Chinese-run place, quite pleasant. If I'm in the area, I wouldn't mind coming back.
