You know those restaurants that happen to be in a mini mall but also happen to be the best in town? This is one of those restaurants. I’ve never been to Vietnam, but if the food there tastes like this, then please but me a ticket.

Terrific beers and maybe even more terrific place to drink them in! Lots of space for large groups, a pizza place inside, and incredibly well-decorated, but not snobby.

Their photos above are incorrect— they seem like they’re from before they became the best open-air market in town. Tons of great shopping and restaurants. Great for a date or strolling around with family and friends. Not to be missed.
