"If you’ve been to the original Vietnam Restaurant in Chinatown, then you already know it has consistently good dishes like vermicelli bowls, seafood claypots, and crispy spring rolls. Plus, the tiki-ish cocktails are way stronger than they taste. The Vietnam Cafe in University City has pretty much the same food and drink situation as the Chinatown spot, but it’s way bigger and there’s usually a table open—even if you show up with your entire family." - candis mclean
