I am a huge fan of Vietnam Grille (VG). I've eaten here probably 5-7 times--mostly for lunch. \n\nThe people who run the place and work there are wonderfully friendly and attentive. The owner comes out often to talk with diners and visit with regulars. He treats them like friends. \n\nThe atmosphere is very casual. Parking is generous, as the restaurant is housed in a freestanding building located in the parking lot of a strip mall. \n\nMy favorite dishes are:\nBo Tai Chanh (raw flank steak)\nBanh Xep Hap (steamed dumplings)\nSoup Ga Thap Cam (small chicken soup with veggies)\nPho \nAND...the drink I will drive across town for, Nuoc Dua - Coconut drink. LOVE this stuff. It's basically water from young coconut with scooped out pieces of the flesh from the inside of the coconut added to the glass. It is served with a spoon so you can easily access the coconut meat. I want one now, as I am writing this.\n\nI really don't have anything bad to say about the place. I guess the seating could be a little more comfy, but it's a very casual place. Oh, and I wish they served the pancake dish (Banh Xeo). -- Definitely not star-knocking issues.
