My husband and I had a dinner date tonight and we decided to try out this new restaurant that everyone has been talking about since its grand opening. First of all, the decoration is beyond and above. I love every corner of it. Now comes the food. We ordered:
1. Banh Dap: a layer of rice pancake is sandwiched between crunchy and thin cracker layers. It comes with a savory sauce, kind of similar to nuoc mam with some small pieces of pork rind. Normally, it is served with mam nem, but I'm fine with the sauce that they serve. I love banh dap, but I could not find it anywhere here in Houston. Now I know where to go when I crave.
2. Cao Lau: good portion, great to taste. Similar to banh dap, no where sells this type of dish. It's pretty decent here at Hoi An Quan.
3. Banh Beo: banh beo itself is ok, but the fish sauce that comes with it is nothing special, if I don't want to say it's kind of bland.
4. Com Ga Hoi An (Chicken and Rice): this is a good dish. The broiled chicken is not dry. The rice is a bit dry, but the broth is great. The side of chicken salad is also good. I have to talk about the fish sauce that comes with it. The consistency is thick. It's savory and a bit sweet which goes very well with the boiled chicken and the gizzards.
Overall, we had a good experience here. Beautiful decor, good food, and decent service.
