"The Banh Xeo is a standout dish, featuring plump, juicy shrimp and tender white meat, complemented by a rich mung bean spread and a generous helping of bean sprouts. The crepe itself is crispy and never oily, making for a delightful texture. The accompanying condiments are plentiful, including crisp green leaf lettuce, slices of cucumber, strips of carrots and daikon, and fresh mint leaves. Don't forget to mix in some chili garlic sauce with your savory fish sauce for an extra kick.
Other offerings are equally impressive. I highly recommend trying the Canh Chua with catfish—a light and refreshing soup that tantalizes with its aromatic blend of tangy pineapple, tomatoes, crunchy bean sprouts, and elephant ear stems, along with tender chunks of catfish in a sweet and sour broth. You might find the fresh ingredients at the Hong Kong Food Market next door, but the restaurant’s expertly crafted recipe is what truly brings this soup to life.
For lunch, the specials are also worth sampling. The lemongrass chicken dish comes with a hearty portion of chicken salad, sautéed green beans, a spring or egg roll, and a small bowl of a lighter version of the sweet and sour soup (without proteins or elephant ear stems). Overall, you won’t be disappointed with the fresh and flavorful Vietnamese cuisine here."
