Problem: We went over a year in Charlotte before discovering Vietnam Grill, and that delay ranks as our #1 regret since moving here. It's easy to miss, the stand-alone-in-a-strip-mall-parking-lot facade hiding a hub of tasty cuisine with fresh ingredients. For those who haven't been, it shares a section of South Blvd with more well-known staples such as Bill Spoon's BBQ and The Clock. It looks like they've had a few bad reviews of late, but our visit today was as good as ever. We only go about once a month, but the servers remember us right away and it only took about five minutes from order to service - perfect for a quick lunch. The Bun dishes, especially the grilled pork and grilled meatball varieties, are always terrific. If you're not familiar, Bun = room-temperature rice vermicelli, a few mixed veggies (including some greens), topped with your meat of choice. Their house sauce, served on the side, is a smoother, cleaner version of a fish sauce. There's no real reason *not* to use the entire thing, as well as some of the house made chili sauce, but feel free to try just a little to get started. The Pho is my other favorite, particularly the brisket & flank steak combination. Other options include tendon, tripe and meatballs (different from those served on the Bun), but I personally choose to get as much steak as possible because I'm a simple creature. Fresh sprouts, jalapenos, and basil are served on the side to add to the hot, delicious broth at your leisure. Again, I see no reason not use everything, but maybe I'm just a glutton for goodness. I've had their spring rolls, summer rolls, and salt-baked shrimp on random occasions and enjoyed them all. I'm not a big appetizer person, though, so it's more an issue of personal choice than worthiness of the dish. For the dinner crowd, an interesting distinction: this place is BYOB, so plan accordingly. Daniel (@CharlotteBeer) is a better pairing suggester than I, and he thinks a Saison would be a great +1 for any beer lovers looking to drop in. Finally, I love this place because our family always has a good time there. The servers and chefs have all checked in on us and our year-old son during our visits, including spacing the delivery of our dishes during the months when the little guy was feisty at the dinner table, thus allowing my Pho to be warm when I finally got to eat. Big ups to any place willing & able to accommodate patrons of all shapes, sizes, and ages. There, now I'm hungry for another trip back to Viet-nomnom.

Problem: This place always disappoints. Never enough clerks, line practically going out the door. At least self service is working today. Too bad the line of 5 people ahead of me is taking as long as the 15+people in the other line =/

Problem: How can you complain about a retail store that sells trendy clothes for super cheap! I've recently come to terms with the fact that sometimes buying cheap clothes is not a bad thing. The quality is not superb here, and most items won't last more than 5 washings, but for a $25 dollar dress, I can deal with that. Forever 21 stores have a huge selection of clothes and they try to organize them by "theme" or style. It can be very overwhelming, so you should plan on walking around for at least 30 minutes before you even hit the dressing room. I don't find that their "going out" clothes are too hot, but they have great everyday wear, and even some items you can wear to the office. I was recently surprised to see that some of the stores have added a men's, maternity and plus size section. I'm currently not in the market for these sections, but it's cool anyway. Their clothes fit pretty true to size, and unlike H&M you don't have to be a pencil to look good in them. One thing that I found very strange is they can NOT take anything off the manikins. If you that is the only item left in the size you need, you have to put it on hold until the window display changes (which I believe occurs on Wednesdays), this is challenging because you can't try it on, and you only have 24 hours to pick it up. Even with their funky" fear of naked manikin" policy, they still get 5 stars for price, 4 stars for selection, and 3 stars for quality!
