Try the Banh Xeo

by kareno71

If you can't get a reservation for Slanted Door, this should be your second choice for Vietnamese. Banh Xeo, the thin crepe filled with shrimp, and pork and sprouts at this place is delicious. Not all imperial rolls are made equal, this one is full of flavor. Always remember to wear a heavy coat, it tend to be cold in the restaurant.

Don't take Entertainment Coupons anymore!

by yowsawoohoo

Decided to try this place out bcs I had an Entertainment coupon and always passed by the restaurant, but never ate there before. The food was decent--ordered the Beef Look Lac, and the Seafood Hot Plate. For appetizers, we ordered the Shrimp on Sugar cane. Becareful though, because on the menu, the Shrimp on Sugar cane was listed as 7.50, but when the bill arrived, we were charged $11. The waiter claimed it was a mistake on the menu--if so, why wasn't it corrected with a pen? Also, when it came time to paying the bill, we were told they no longer accept Entertainment Coupons as of last year. I checked the Entertainment's website and they were not listed as opting out.

So all in all, decent food, pretty expensive, adequate service. Just make sure you check your bill when it comes time to paying.

• Pros: Decent Food, dining room looked welcoming, service was adequate
• Cons: Pricey, did not take Entertainment Coupon, charged wrong amout for appetizers

Decent food but poor service

by mhb1954

Dropped in to this place on a whim and were promptly seated. The waitress started things off right: she was very friendly and helped us select some good dishes. Then two large parties arrived, 6 in one and 12 in another, and our service went to hades in a handcart. We got our food expeditiously alright, and it was not bad. The 5-spiced chicken was a little tough, and I've made it more flavorful at home, but it was good. Yet in the end, we felt abandoned due to the larger parties and the waitress acted like the slow flowing Mekong at its widest point when it came to getting our check.

• Pros: Decent food
• Cons: Lackluster service, hard to park
