"Yes, Vietnam serves the best spring rolls in the city. But the reason it’s remained one of Chinatown’s most popular destinations since 1984 is thanks to its versatility. The first floor of the restaurant is all about huge vermicelli bowls, peppery pork claypot, and crispy rice noodles with shrimp, while the second floor is a tiki bar, complete with flaming punch bowls and mai tais in colorful glasses. In a city rife with excellent Vietnamese food, it means something to still be great after four decades running." - alison kessler, candis mclean
