text: I actually want to give them and a half stars But total for service friendliness and cleanliness nnAs soon as we walked in we were greeted by the owner He is very nice personable and pleasant We ordered to go and he even brought out water with lemons for us without even asking The menu is pretty small They do not have much variety Rather it looks like their focus is on the core staples at Vietnamese restaurants I did not eat pho but had a rice dish instead I will have to return another time for dinner to try our their pho and provide an update nnThe com tam dac biet combination is pricey at but fairly cheap in comparison to Charlottes standards sorry to beat the dead horse but when you are used to paying an average of for the same dish back in Ca it is hard not to gripe about it On the flip side though Saigon Palace charges for the same dish but their com tam dac biet also comes with a few items Vietnam Grille is missing nnThe Egg rolls here are different smaller and with a rice paper style wrapper It also lacks the traditional dac biet items a pork chop a sunny side egg can be ordered on top and most importantly the shredded pork The shredded pork is one of my favorite items in this dish and I am sad to report that this restaurant does not offer it Shrimp was grilled perfectly as most places usually overcook shrimp Ironically I prefer my shrimp overcooked lol One thing I do especially like here are their meatballs They appear homemade and formed in an unorthadox sphere shape They look more like sausages The grilled chicken was also flavorful nnOverall it was a good meal Service was quick and friendly The owner even asked if I ever had their pho When I said no and he suggested that I must try it From the reviews of this place I am sure its good And besides who can turn down an invitation from a restaurant ownerchef Since it is somwehat new he makes an effort to know his customers That might change if business picks up but either way it works and I like itnnBased on the com tam this is not the best Vietnamese restaurant around town but its definitely a force to be reckoned with I am definitely returning here again to try out their pho
