Viet Noodle Bar

Ok, so Viet Noodle Bar has been open for some time now. We were enjoying a stroll during "Summer Night" on the Boulevard and decided to stop in. First off, this place is nicely quiet. No blasting music or TV. Just a selection of books along the wall to peruse while you eat or wait. Long wooden tables are perfect for pulling up a stroller for the little one. There were several families there enjoying the calm environment. We started with the shrimp crepe. Served with lettuce to wrap and a mildly spicy peanut(?)dipping sauce. It was crunchy and hot and very nice. Mrs. Marvin had the Lemongrass Chicken Bahn Mi. Served in a decent baguette the lemongrass chicken was very good indeed. So good in fact, that I ate her leftover half for lunch the next day. I had the Hanoi style Chicken Pho which I guess basically means larger flatter noodles. So good !! And the noodles weren't in a giant knot for me to struggle with which can be a small problem elsewhere. I love Pho and usually favor Pho Cafe' for Chicken Pho when I'm under the weather. So, there's another good place for Pho and Bahn Mi. And since Viet is in Atwater Village I'll be there for lunch with baby Marvin again soon.
