(From January 2011) Tranquil scenes of rice paddies and lagoons are part of the unpretentious atmosphere here. We liked the small bowl of hot broth loaded with pork meatballs, zucchini, onions, and bok choy. Another starter, chicken spring rolls in rice paper, were translucent little jewels of delicate flavor. To tell the truth, we found the char-broiled pork chops to be a bit like beef jerky—chewy but addictive. Spicy potatoes, green beans flecked with red-pepper flakes, and stir-fried rice noodles with vegetable slivers were all pleasant accompaniments. Children will love the Vietnamese fruit cocktail, a mix of passionfruit, papaya, and pineapple with squiggles of green coconut Jell-O thrown in for good measure. Bar.
