Battle of the Banh Mi: Da Vang vs. Pho House
Ahhhh, the banh mi. Such a tasty and cheap little Vietnamese sandwich. Soft French bread filled with carrots, jalapeños, cilantro, and a delightful meat. It's one of our favorites, but we tend to overlook the little guys when we are at our favorite Vietnamese spots because, well, because there are ... More >>

Guess Where I'm Eating and Win A Prize
I absolutely adore this quaint Vietnamese restaurant off 7th Street because sometimes I want my bowl of Pho served with a classy cocktail and a smile. On my latest visit, I skipped the pho and went for the Ahi Tuna Salad. The melt-in-your-mouth seared tuna was accompanied by fresh avocado, carrots, ... More >>

Spring Roll Showdown: Blue Moon Vietnamese Kitchen vs Da Vang
We ate a spring roll. A summer roll. A fresh roll and a salad roll. Kinda sounds like a verse to a Vietnamese version of Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. Luckily for us all, those are just the many guises of fresh herbs, lettuce, and shrimp (or pork or beef) wrapped in rice paper. Any name you giv ... More >>

Lunch Under $10 at Pho Thanh
It's not a side dish. It's not a soup dish. It's pho -- a main course, a noodle dish. In Vietnam, it's the people's food. Street food. And at Pho Thanh, it's delicious.
