My first taste of Vietnamese snails.
I wasn’t prepared. They’re daringly chewy compared to their delicate French counterparts, and they boast of a pungent brine that sizzles and sears their coat of garlic butter into a sweet, bold memory.
Pork Spring Rolls are a classic appetizer if you’re looking for something more familiar. They’re no Brodard, but their meat is soft and the veggies are fresh.
Clay Pot Chicken Rice is a nice filler dish to appease a more neutral palate, and the chicken is as tender as that runny-yolk egg.
The Pho is a standard beef broth, customizable with every combination of ingredients. They have any and every Vietnamese staple you could possibly crave in this menu, and the pho is just one among many.
The flavors are right, and the food is fine. Great selection at a reasonable price, and you won’t wait long for anything to arrive. Good for a craving if you can’t get to Garden Grove.
