So many good dishes from flavorful veggies to meat balls, the lemongrass chicken and pork are perfect to me. The spring rolls are so nice with the peanut and fish sauce. The sweet and sour soup is sweet LOL. I do like the fish and calamari saut\u00e9. Actually, I enjoyed all the dishes and I did try each one at least one bite.<br \/>\nThe restaurant decor is very modern with many nice paintings of the VN girls in traditional dress which my sister like very much, the waiters are extremely attentive and quickly clean up used dishes, especially in a buffet lunch and small tables, kudos.<br \/>\nThe parking structure is behind the restaurant or one street over, after 11:30 on a Friday, it may be hard to find any spaces left.<br \/>\nWe did have a la carts here and we did like it, although it&#8217;s a little higher priced than normal restaurants.<br \/>\nAll fusion \u00a0VN restaurants to do things on the sweet and light side, so don&#8217;t expect salty authentic VN taste but then again, not many VN would know this kind of restaurants, we&#8217;ll be visiting Le Colonial in SF soon.<\/p>\n<div class='fotorama--wp'
