fresh, tasty food made from quality ingredients and great service are two reasons i'm coming back. so far, i've only had the canh chua tom (a hot &sour shrimp soup), mi xao don (pan fried noodles with shrimp & squid) and the ca kho to (simmered catfish in hot pot). the catfish, which was a great balance of sweet and salty, was my favorite. the canh chua tom was good, but could have been a little more intense in flavor. the pan fried noodles, although pretty to look at was ok. i think it needed some sesame oil or something to kick it up a notch. the resto looks newish and is bright and clean, one of the nicer casual places in little saigon.
