text: This review is a placeholder of sorts--I have read the other reviews, and I don't feel like they went to the same restaurant I did. So I want to go back and give them another try, SOON.\n\nI go to Vietnam Grille about once a week. Their pho is so far above the norm that comparisons to it are futile. So I'm not sure I gave Lang Van's pho a fair shake. Plus, I was there with a friend and her adorable but napless toddler, so impressions of the food are but fleeting.  Lots of basil on the side, and plenty of limes and sprouts. \n\nMy friend had never had Vietnamese food before, so I wanted her to love it as much as I do. I was not \"bowled\" over by the pho. Their egg rolls I cannot remember. I think they were fine (this was about 3 weeks ago). \n\nThat said, I loved the interior, the service was swift and impeccable, and they had PLUM WINE. Yum. It felt like a warm, happy place to be on a cold, rainy day.
