The desserts are especially good, too. The space is compact, but the friendliness of the service makes up for the crunch. Prices moderately high, but definitely worth it. Another favorite to add to your list. A large popular Vietnamese restaurant with a huge menu and moderate prices.
Lunch is a real bargain, and the service speedy.
This place can get really noisy when full, so beware. The cuisine features lots of meat dishes, but there are a number of vegetarian choices too. There is also a busy take-out counter. Parking is generally plentiful, and lots of recent construction is making the neighborhood lively and safe, but be careful late at night. 97 Oakland Chinatown Webster between 6th and 9th Sts.
