Expertly prepared Vietnamese cuisine consistently draws a hungry crowd to this family-run restaurant. The menu changes seasonally and offers an extensive selection of delicious dishes. Vegetarians relish the lemongrass tofu, while omnivores delight in the rich flavors unleashed in banana leaf-wrapped halibut and tamarind soup. Efficient service and reasonable prices add to the appeal, as does a weekend dim sum brunch (Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.). When the restaurant first opened in Seattle in 1999, wine was the beverage focus; when a second location opened in Bellevue, with a full bar, inventive and inspired cocktails became a main draw. Perks here range from free parking behind the restaurant to a heated patio.
