We started off with a Sapporo on tap and a ginger ale. Both bubbly and delicious. Appetizers were fresh vegetable spring rolls and fried dumplings. A peanut butter based sauce accompanied the fresh spring rolls… which were so fresh and filled with crisp veggies! The large basil leaf added an herbal touch. It’s a different sauce than we’re used to from Thai restaurants but found it enjoyable. The fried dumplings were piping hot (steamed up my glasses on the first bite!) and also delicious. The sauce for those was a ginger based soy. Yummy!
We shared 2 dishes from the Chef’s Suggestions. Spicy Shredded Beef and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The shredded beef normally comes as 4 stars out of 5 on the spicy scale. We asked for 2 stars. Just pick out the hot red peppers when you get it to keep the spiciness down, too, if you don’t like too much heat. The level of spice was perfect. The flavor was just WOW! The beef wasn’t shredded as much as pounded with a meat tenderizer or knife. It just about melted in your mouth. A slight smoky flavor was imparted in the meat and green peppers, onions and carrots that was to die for.
The Salt and Pepper shrimp wasn’t overly peppery but nicely balanced with a perfect saltiness. The batter was light and the shrimp was plump and juicy. We got 10 nice sized shrimp in our meal! This dish also came with green peppers and very mild onions on a bed of shredded lettuce. Both these dishes came with a side of white rice.
I look forward to going back and trying other meals (the pho with chicken I had recently was fantastic too). The Vietnamese sandwiches might be next on the list to try.
2 special meals, 2 appetizers and 2 beverages came out to around $50. There are more inexpensive dishes available for budget minded outings. There is a full bar off to the side of the restaurant for mixed drinks which probably undoes the budget. Lol. But specials were written on the board. 5 dollar margaritas and 5 dollar mai tais. Between 3 and 6 daily happy hours, drinks are a dollar off.
We spotted karaoke equipment but not sure when that happens. If you want to get your inner Gaga on, that could be fun. Liked our quiet meal. Oh, lighting is soft and I noticed incandescent bulbs for those sensitive to bright or flickering lighting. Background music wasn’t overly loud. Varied from Asian music when we got in to top 40s when we left an hour later.
Highly recommend.
Had pho ti, spring rolls, summer rolls, wings. Been there twice and absolutely fantastic both times. Go!
We will be going back again for sure.
