![These guys fuse Vietnamese food with their own, local knowledge, in a beautiful low lit setting, and hit it out of the park. Shaking beef, black cod, crab and shrimp noodles, dry sauteed curry string beans, accompanied by a frosty Saigon Vietnamese beer. Reminded me of Monsoon in Seattle, or The Slanted Door in SF. Good, knowledgable and helpful wait staff provide a very memorable dining experience. Can't wait to go back.](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/06cb0bbd99780b467cef0913ccc5a0fb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium)
