Hi, love this site and your finely detailed pictures! If you haven’t done so already, try Veggie Life’s bun thit nuong cha gio (noodles and fried spring rolls). It’s the best! I haven’t had it in years, so I hope it’s as good as I remembered. On the topic of banh xeo, there’s a place just west of Veggie Life on Garvey called Banh Xeo Quan. I’d love to know how it’d stand up to your standards.

That’s really weird, I’ve got a set of the exact same plastic plates – the last pic with the banh xeo – here at home in Saigon…

VERY nicely done G.

I’ve ridden by this place COUNTLESS times and to purposely ignore it each and every time. Not that this will change my mind, but glad you wrote it up. There are some DEEP finds in S. El Monte. Kudos.

Now I’ve got to go hunting for a vietnamese vegetarian spot – this looks amazing, and then of course you have pointed out some fine looking fare…

On the side note it was vegetarian despite the grease

the “goi” looks good! mmm I LOVE Bun Bo Hue…vegetarian or not I’ve come across chay dishes that taste better than their non-vegetarian counterparts…amazing isn’t it?
