text: Note I judge Vietnamese places on four things pho spring rolls peanut dipping sauce and avocado shakes nnVietnam Grille just did not impress me on any level For such a highly regarded Vietnamese joint I expected a lot more The spring rolls were on the the smaller side While the fillings were fresh they were missing something The peanut sauce was overly sweet and not that peanuty The pho was severely over spiced and much too fragrant The star anise was an overpowering flavor in the broth The pieces of flank steak were not the beautifully paper thin slices that I have had at every other Vietnamese place The tendon was undercooked and too chewy Definitely not my fave The avocado smoothie was no where to be found on the menu One of the things I love about Vietnamese food is how much food you get for the price I thought that Vietnam Grilles prices were on the higher end of what I am accustomed to seeing nnThe positives The service was fine and the parking was plentiful nnNeedless to say I will be continuing my search for my goto Vietnamese joint in Charlotte
