Quan Hy may be the fanciest casual restaurant I've ever seen. The decor is modern, space-creating crossbeams, shiny tables, bright and cheery. There's a real koi pond on the way in and you can eat your meal next to the most beautiful tank of fish.
Even more beautiful is this tray of Banh Beo. Softly-steamed little finger-food rice cakes topped with crumbles of shredded shrimp. Dunk deeply in fish sauce, eat, repeat.
I'll always try the Bun Bo Hue, especially in Westminster. The broth has layers of flavors and holds so much depth. Gnaw on the pork knuckle while you enjoy tender slices of beef.
The Mi Quang is a great dish - wide yellow noodles with whole shrimp and slices of pork, savory and simultaneously on the lighter side.
The Goi Mit is the real deal - it's worth the one-hour drive. A cold jackfruit salad is so refreshing, a shredded texture mixed with shrimp and strips of pork.
If I ever did a food crawl through Little Saigon, the jackfruit salad would be first on the list...Then I might skip every other spot because everything here is good enough if not better.
