| - Definitely a hole in the wall, mom and pop type place that has a nice homely feeling to it. These types of places usually have the best food and at a reasonable price, and Tay Do fits the bill. I would say this is the second best Viet restaurant in Cleveland, coming up just behind Superior Pho.
The service was okay. The lady that owns the place usually is the one waiting tables, and if it gets busy, she takes a while to get to you. It is worth the wait though. Once you put in your order, it doesn't take long for the food to come. No, the lady doesn't have the most outgoing personality in the world, but that's just her demeanor. She is actually very kind. Her English just isn't that great. It also helps if you have a Vietnamese person in your party.
Onto the food... I'm not that big of a pho fan *gasp*, but it was pretty good when I tried it. I usually get the Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (bowl of vermicelli noodles with beef, spring rolls, veggies) at any Vietnamese restaurant, and this one did not disappoint. Portions were standard fare. The grilled pork however was amazing, as were the spring rolls (cha gio). Also try their special fried rice. It has a bunch of different kinds of meat, and the seasoning is AMAZING. Not exaggerating when I say it's the best fried rice I've ever had. One thing I would advise against is the dumpling appetizer. They tasted like the precooked frozen ones you buy at the Asian store.
Meals were cheap. $8-$10 per dish.
