The service was gracious and we appreciated that our order was brought out in sequence, as courses for the two of us to share, rather than all at once. We kept it simple and went for the basic staples. The Goi Cuon (fresh spring rolls) were delightfully fresh and chewy and nicely accented with Vietnamese mint (not basil or cilantro, which is often substituted). The Bun Thit Nuong was complex with perfectly balanced flavours. The marinated grilled pork was succulent and offset by cool cucumber and the freshest sprouts and the sour/hot nuoc cham dressing, and the dish was not overwhelmed by noodles. This was followed by an earthenware tureen of Canh Chua Ca, a sweet/sour fish soup that we ordered in honour of the lunar New Year. The soup was beautiful enough to photograph, with a clear broth tinted red with tomatoes, several generous chunks of fish, and celery, okra and other greens. The broth is delightfully refreshing, and gets its sweet/sour accent from pineapple. Overall the presentation was very nice, with china bowls and spoons (not plastic), which were replaced with each course, and a generous bowl of rice. The bill came to $45, and we felt we'd been treated to a true culinary experience. Eric and Angela
