My man is on a \"eating healthy\" kick so he knew my old Asian parents would be just fine with going there. My dad and I were doing the Tom/Bo Nuong Vi ( shrimp/beef we grill at table and roll ourselves), my man had pho tai ( rare beef pho) and the kids all had pho with no meat.\n\nMy mom (being vietnamese/chinese) was SO picky cause you know how old school asian moms are- nothing is as good as theirs. So she finally settled on the banh xeo (crepe like thing with shrimp, bean sprouts, fried and served with herbs and nuoc mam). I think she complained the whole time that it was a little hard- not as soft as how she's had it in SF...okay mom, but you finished the dish...so it wasn't that bad?\n\nMy dad and I thoroughly enjoyed our dish- with the shrimp paste dipping sauce. I think that's the best part of the dish!! Yes, yes, I am SO asian cause that dip makes you stink SO bad, but is oh SO good! Anyhow, they bring out all the condiments to our dish- lettuce, assortment of herbs, rice paper and vermicelli noodles. We grill up all the shrimp and beef and roll away...YUM! Word of advice, don't cook the beef too long or it becomes really tough..\n\nWe also ordered a beef carpaccio dish (Bo Tai Chanh) that was really good, the beef was so tender. \n\nThe place wasn't too busy when we arrived at 7:30pm but next thing you know, it filled up. It seemed like a lot of people ordered the shrimp/beef dish that we had, but how can you not when first thing you see is people grilling meat at the table when you walk in?\n\nOverall it was a good night. Service was decent, better then most Vietnamese places, all you had to do was wave to someone at the counter and they were right over.\nOh- and unlike some places on Spring Mountain, they DO take credit cards...I mean honestly I never have cash on me and its always a pain to stop and get cash..."^^ . .
