My francophone pal V\u00e9ro recommended this Vietnamese eatery, and it was a great local find: cheap, tasty, and very friendly. In fact, upon learning that my niece loves shrimp, the waiter brought over a free sampling of the house specialty, which was promptly devoured. All four of us somehow ended up ordering vermicelli with our meals, but each was radically different in flavor -- from curry-flavored spice with a major kick to savory broth. Even my nephew, who'd been hesitant at trying such an alien-sounding dish, wolfed his down.\n\nOur only complaint: the wait. The waiter knew we'd been waiting too long and even came over to apologize, but we still waited half an hour for our food, and none of us asked for anything out of the ordinary. (Although V\u00e9ro did theorize that they might have made a run to the store to get my tofu, since it wasn't on the menu.)
