I was recently at a week long conference in Dallas. The hotel was not in a central location, the
conference was lengthy and intense, and the weather was hot and a little bit
humid. So we were far from the well-known
parts of Dallas, there wasn’t much spare time, and the weather did not
encourage venturing far from the meeting center. Lucky for me, there was a nearby take out
restaurant that had a range of Vietnamese food and the largest selection of
fresh spring rolls that I have seen.
I
had the shrimp sausage spring roll, which was a delicious mix of shredded
vegetables and a long slice of shrimp sausage (which is minced shrimp with
spices and water chestnuts that is similar to what you would have in shu mei or
shrimp dim sum) with a side of pickled daikon and carrots.
They were great and very different from the
lemongrass chicken spring rolls that my table mate ordered.
They also have a range of bahn mi, bun bowls,
pho, and rice platters as you would expect at a Vietnamese restaurant, and the
price was very reasonable.
The grilled
pork bahn mi did not disappoint.
The
service was swift.
Don’t be dissuaded by
the mirror ball on the ceiling or the music that pervades the restaurant.
The food is good and you can grab and go, or
sit and eat.
It is not haute cuisine by
any means, but as fast food it is wonderful.
