| - We went to Lang Van on our first night in Charlotte. It was decent, but not much more. When Im trying a Vietnamese restaurant out of town, my first instinct is to scan the menu for a short list of exoticisms, barring those precious few cant misses, like the elusive Bun Bo Hue and Com Tam Bai Mo, I like to perform an apples to apples comparison, usually starting with the staples of Pho and Summer Rolls. Neither of these were particularly noteworthy. There was nothing wrong with either, they just were kind of bland. I didnt sense any additional restaurant specific taste modifications to the Pho, which I love by the way. It was just a decent straight down the middle bowl. Same for the summer rolls. I was torn between giving this place a 2 or a 3, its really a 2.5 If I was hungry and I happened to by driving right by it, I would not hesitate to pull in and grab a bowl of Pho, I just wouldn't drive across town for it. If you're on the hunt for a destination Vietnamese meal, go to Ben Thanh.
