Vietnam Restaurant

 Last night my family and I had dinner at our favorite restaurant, Vietnam in Philadelphia. My wife Ursula and I have been going there for 10 years and it is amazing how consistently great it is. It looked like a typical Chinatown hole-in-the-wall when we first started going there. It has evolved into a stylishly comfortable space with about 3 times the amount of seats. The prices have inched up just slightly, and the food is still as good as we've had anywhere. 
 If you go to Philly, make sure you visit Vietnam, it's on 11th near Race St. (Don't confuse it with Vietnam Palace across the street.) Order the grilled meatballs, the crisp vegetable spring rolls and sauteed chinese broccoli with garlic. For something a little more adventurous, try the flank steak carpaccio. You will be in heaven!
