| - I am obsessed with Ha Long Bay. I love getting it for takeout and dining in - there are pros & cons to both. I think the portions are bigger when you dine in, but the service is definitely slow (especially during the busiest hours of the night).
My favorite 3 items:
-AP10 - this flavorful treat is amazing. It's the perfect light start to a meal, and since it comes with 2, it's great to share.
-Panang Curry with tofu - this place has some of the best Panang I've ever had. I was so inspired by this panang that I almost named my cat after it (true story - ended up naming him Jim though).
-Pad Thai with chicken - my boyfriend always gets this, and I end up begging for bites every time.
I always have leftovers from the curry - enough for lunch the next day.
It's not the spiciness place ever; if you like a bit of a kick, but don't want it to overwhelm your meal, you're probably safe with a 2 or 2.5 (medium) level.
The restaurant itself is cute, although try to get a booth as some of the tables can be pretty close together. In addition, if you're dining in, the wine bottles are extremely reasonably priced at around $22.
If you want to dine in and there's a wait, go across the street for a drink at Gib's bar.
Overall, great place, great food, great prices (especially for the portion sizes) - can't beat it!
