The thing to keep in mind about Angelina's is that it is not your traditional Vietnamese Pho noodle shop. Rather, it is a modern and often inventive take on Vietnamese cuisine that combines a lot of the traditional along with cross-cultural influences to create a nouveau fusion blend that is both original and exciting. Angelina's has a modern-contemporary decor well suited to the culinary flavor. Angelina's menu has expanded considerably since their launch, and creations such as crab meat udon and tofu-eggplant stacks are welcome additions though perhaps not to everyone's taste. Portions are reasonable and prices are about average. Certain menu items are only available on the weekends such as the spicy Pho. Wait staff and service at this restaurant tends to be decent (somewhat hit or miss depending on the day and time). That being said, I have never experienced really bad service at this restaurant, and thus far my experiences have been positive on average. As with all restaurants that rely on a high level of culinary skill, the food quality of Angelina's depends on the chef. Therefore, again depending on the day and time, there can be variation in the quality. Overall, the food quality is very good, and comparable to the best out there. One menu item deserves special mention: the barbecue spring rolls are simply divine. Think a traditional Vietnamese spring roll (pork, lettuce, vermicelli) but with added avocado and grilled pork. It is simply the best spring rolls I ever had - the creamy avocado texture complements the sweet crispy pork perfectly.
