It was absolutely wonderful and I can't stop thinking about it since going yesterday. Reminded me of Mapu Beef stew but with noodles instead of rice. Don't skip on the fried dumplings either!

This time I had the Mana Lan pho, and it was excellent as always--rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.

Yeah, four stars, I agree…read more Now, the service for our group of 11 was great. Five stars for that. They marked off the tables with "Reserved" signs. They didn't look too bummed when a few of our original group of 15 couldn't make it because of the horrible weather. They didn't get any orders wrong, even checking a couple of them to make sure they got them right. The food came out sooner than we expected. They split the bill happily and with ease, without mistakes. Even though they added an automatic 18% gratuity because our group was larger than six, I felt the service was worth a few extra bucks, and I tipped some additional. Great, all y'all. The food was very good. Great? Not quite. Very good, though. I had the Curry Chicken. It was tasty, with delicious chicken chunks and yummy French bread to soak up the soup. Could have used a fork and knife because they impolitely large, but yum. The onions were varied, with some strident and some smooth. I prefer smooth in curries. And they were kind of big, too. As were the potatoes. Big. Nevertheless: get that. And a knife and fork. My wife got Rice with Grilled Beef and Egg. I think she won, except for the daikon. I don't understand daikon, which doesn't seem like food to me, which is why I didn't order it - though I would have gotten it with tofu. But the beef was perfectly spiced and perfectly done, and the rice was good. A bit more fat and gristle than she prefers, but this IS a Vietnamese restaurant. And the portion was plenty big enough that sorting these annoyances out didn't short her meal in any way - plenty left for lunch next day. Get that. We got Fried Egg Rolls as an appetizer. Very tasty, flaky, with good sauce accompaniments. The red one is reported by my wife to be hot, though I didn't think so. The clear one is vaguely, pleasantly sweet. Get that. I'm going to try to talk her into the steamed variety next time, though, which is my preference and raved about at the other end of the table. The table got saki for dessert. It wasn't outstanding. Some wished it had come out hot, but I like cool saki better. Each to their own. I got a mango bobo, which was fine. It had mango chunks along with the requisite mysterious yummy spheres. It also had a lot of ice, which hampered chasing down any goodies with either the straw or the spoon. I gave up, particularly because the ice watered it down to a disrespectful level after several minutes. The store is very pretty and comfortable. The staff seems to like each other a lot, and worked together well, joshing lightly. We didn't check out the bathrooms. Parking is right across the street. Go there.

Their website was enticing. Ordering was easy. They have lots of options. There's a Laotian style fried rice and other things that will be familiar but there are also some unusual things. I got the stirfried chicken ramen, which is tender flavorful chicken, noodles, and tons of fresh veggies. I got it spicy, which was a little hot. But I like that. It was a rainbow of flavors and textures. Probably reasonably healthy, definitely incredibly tasty. I also got the fried jerky, because why not? Apparently it's a Laotian thing. I got mild with the spicy sauce on the side, and the jerky itself was pretty hot. The spicy sauce was not any more spicy, but was very flavorful. The jerky was thin, and crispy. Not all that different from some regular jerkies. Very good. A big portion. Came with perfect sticky rice. There was a fair amount of heat in everything except the rice. I like heat, but if you don't, order carefully. I believe there is a no spice option below the mild. Portions are good, prices are good, food is fantastic. Order was ready on time. There's tons to explore on the menu. I will definitely be back.
