Wonton-freaking-fabulous-soup!
I've been itching to go to this little Vietnamese resto for a while now and a business meeting gave me the perfect excuse to. And I must say, it did not disappoint.
In fact, I'd love to bathe in their wonton soup. It's that perfect. Maybe it's because I'm used to cheap, take-out soups, but this was fresh, homemade and damn delicious. Wontons made from scratch, stuffed with pork and swimming in a light, flavorful broth chock full of pork, cilantro, scallions, onions and sriracha (which I added myself, of course.) Yea, it doesn't sound that special, but it was made right. No skimping. My fellow diner chose the Saigon Vermicelli, which has grilled pork and shrimp and we shared the crispy shrimp rolls. Both were extremely tasty.
The service was zippy and the decor was on the trendy side with a touch of culture. Pretty cute and spot on for the location. Parking sucks, of course--that's what E.4th will do to you. Prices were pretty satisfactory for what you get and a lot cheaper than most of the street. A perfect lunch spot!
And those wontons!
