Dishes here feature simple ingredients prepared well. We ordered the pork & shrimp wanton soup and the pork belly banh mi. The pork bone broth in the soup had a great warmth and roundness to the flavor thanks to its pepper. This is broth to warm your bones on a cold day. The pork's sweetness and shrimp's mild brine, in the wantons, gave the soup just a bit of heft as a meal. The banh mi balanced crisp and soft textures with the vegetables and crusty bread that complemented the melt-in-your-mouth pork belly. The veggies' pickling was mild in flavor, allowing the other ingredients to shine through. The offerings here come at a slight premium. The sandwich, in particular, was on the pricey side ($16), but the cut of meat easily justified the cost. And the ingredients are in good hands, in Mama Lam's kitchen, and it is easy to appreciate the care that goes into each meal.

Favorite banh mi for me is the special combo, but seriously, they're all good! Same with the vermicelli bowls. Honestly, there is nothing I wouldn't order again at Xinh Xinh.

He was very attentive and listened carefully on how I wanted my pho to be and I really enjoyed it. So far, this is the best phô restaurant I've been to. The place was very clean and quiet.

Their unsweetened ice tea was brewed fresh and tasted amazing. They have reasonable prices and it was nice to go with my boyfriend for company and we will definitely come back for more!

Without the sauce the spring roll tastes quite bland like how it should usually be. Steak and mestballs: the steak is VERY tender and the meatballs tastes really nice like a soft pillow with a meaty flavor. The noodles are well made and compliment the entire pho really well as the main idea. The soup is also quite exquisite being such a tasty broth that sinks into every aspect of the dish. The service was quick and amazing. The look of the place wasnt too fancy but that's all right for a local shop.

The Black Sparrow endeared itself to me when I saw a gimlet on their special drinks menu. Aw! Who's…read moreeven making gimlets anymore? Let alone featuring gimlets on a special menu and presenting them as bright, shiny things? No one, except this awesome restaurant in Lafayette. Of course, I got the gimlet. I also got what some might call a "girl dinner," but what I call a "hot mom traveling alone dinner," which is fries and a Caesar salad. The fries were excellent: mostly crispy, but every so often a couple of mealy and soft fries were discovered, which was nice. The Caesar salad was good, and it came with whole croutons, which is typical. But really, The Black Sparrow? Your Caesar salad could have been elevated to excellent if the croutons were crushed into bread crumbs! Just saying! The Caesar had a lot of freshly grated parmesan cheese, which was a nice touch. A good Caesar salad needs a lotta parm, in my opinion. I just sat at the bar, so all I know is that rectangular space at the counter. Is there a restaurant beyond the bar at The Black Sparrow? I have no idea, but if you're looking to enjoy a little drink and a meal at the bar here, I think you'll have a good time.

A special shoutout to our server, listed on the receipt as "Player 1," who earned the high score for her top-tier level of service. This place has definitely earned a spot on our must-return list.

But don't judge a book by its cover, it was by far some of the best Thai I've ever had. We order off their lunch menu, pad Thai and green curry, spice level medium. Thai is my favorite and I often make it at home and I love spice. However, their medium spice is burn your lips and mouth off spicy. My eyes were watering and my nose running! I would definitely get mild next time. I've eaten a lot of other Thai and always order medium, but their medium is very very hot. Our waitress was super friendly and sweet! We got our order in right away and it was brought out very quickly. Super authentic and absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be going back soon to try more dishes!

The parking lot was empty when we got there (this will be bc no one is eating dinner at 4 pm except us lol). We got a Thai iced tea, pad Thai, calamari, and mango sticky rice. The waiter was very welcoming. The food is a little bit on the pricier side but it's very good. I wish people left more reviews, because as soon as we left it started filling out with other guests. I would definitely come again for a nice refreshing Thai tea and the mango sticky rice (and to try out more food)!
