They specialize in Central Vietnamese cuisine and so it is quite different from the other Vietnamese places around, although they still serve many of the staples. The rice cakes are the specialty, especially the larger platter with different kinds of shrimp rice cake on it. Delicious and quite novel. Make sure you dip them in the accompanying sauces. The shrimp on sugar cane is very good too. I believe this place has other excellent dishes which I haven’t discovered yet. Recommended, but make sure you take advantage of their novelties.
