| - This Nha Trang restaurant has just opened for two weeks and they specialize in a few items from coastal city of Nha Trang in Vietnam. For those that want to try something different, this would be a good place.
How is the food? Overall their food is not bad, but it's also not exceptional to really make me drive all the way there. Their spring roll is actually good, but two bucks for a small roll is expensive IMO. Their "Banh Cang" tastes just like fried egg so I recommend skipping it, unless you like crunching fried egg. Their "Bun Ca', which is fish noodle soup, is good.
And their Pho? Well, it's kinda hard to explain. When the hot bowl of soup was brought to the table, I couldn't smell any of those Pho aroma, instead the smell of black pepper kinda overwhelmed the bowl. However, when I started eating, it was actually pretty good. The texture of the noodle and meat were nice and soft. The soup was flavorful and sweet, might be a little bit too sweet for me. Now, this is where I got confused. How could the soup be flavorful and good when I couldn't smell any beef or spices normally associated with Pho, so I assumed they must put in a lot and lot of MSG to enhance the taste, which my body is allergic to. After the meal, my body was fine, so my theory of MSG might be incorrect.
By the way, their menu is limited so don't expect them to have everything related to Vietnamese food. Like I mentioned at the beginning, most of their items are from Nha Trang area of VN and Pho. They do take credit card and the service is good.
