Directions
Tucked in a suburban strip mall, this modest Vietnamese restaurant offers an extensive list of authentic dishes in a bright, spartan dining room, coupled with friendly, efficient service. Go for a refreshing starter, such as spring rolls in rice paper, stuffed with pork, pickled vegetables, and cilantro. Or if you're inclined, segue right to a giant bowl of pho: beef broth laden with rice noodles, meatballs, flank steak, or brisket. The fun of pho isn't just the composition, it's the condiments. Each bowl is paired with a plate of Thai basil, bean sprouts, jalapenos, and lime. Don't be shy about tearing herbs to release their fragrance, or dousing your soup with chilis if you like your soup hot. Sriracha and fish sauce are also options, though be sure to add sparingly and taste as you go. A banh mi here is a delicious deal, a traditional pork sandwich heaped with vegetables and herbs. The key is the bread: a French demi-baguette with a crusty exterior and an airy, flavorful crumb. Wrapped like a package in waxed paper, circled with a rubber band, the sandwich and its presentation will not disappoint.
