Greg Parkinson: They have a whole menu page of Pho but I don't know how to know what's what -- fresh meat vs well-done meat, and tendon and navel among other things. I had a roll that wasn't fried, it was a rice pancake around rice, shrimps, pork, mint, served chilled with a peanut sauce, and lemongrass shrimps, also yummy.
Those are called goi cuon, and are very good. As for Pho, you can either be adventurous and order the "with everything" variety or be timid and stick to just the sliced-beef variety.
Greg: It seems that this will be my takeout food of choice as the opinion is from several people that there is not good local chinese takeout. What I'm asking/hoping for is suggestions about things to try as good starting places for dishes to experiment with. They seem to have a very wide variety of dishes, the drinks section included drinks with "yolk", salty lemonade, and pennywort. I haven't a clue.
Any number of dishes (the generic name escapes me at the moment, but I think it's "bun thit") which consist of rice vermicelli, bean sprouts, shredded carrots, cucumbers, etc. topped with various meats and/or chopped-up egg rolls. Quite delicious.
Catfish cooked in a clay pot.
Any number of stir-fried rice noodle/egg noodle dishes.
Spicy cold beef salad.
Combination fried rice.
Iced coffee with condensed milk.
