Van Loc

Van Loc is the best Vietnamese I have had in Houston.  It is better and cheaper than Mai's, and it has a better location.

When you go there, you must order Vietnamese egg rolls to start.  Place the piping hot fried rolls in the cool damp lettuce, fill with basil and mint, and wrap like a mini burrito.  Then dip in the sweet and sour sauce, and let the flavors all burst together inside your mouth.  It is perhaps the most delicious appetizer in the whole world.

Everything else I have ever tried on the menu has been good - from the pho to the fried tofu.  I really do not think you can go wrong here, although you are likely to run into someone you know.

Pho Sai Gon at Milam

Thumbs down! This place sucks.

But we were trying to be adventurous after going to Spec's.
Spec's First Tuesday of the Month has a wine tasting, which I give
several thumbs up, although we did not partake on this night. I was
too tired and too hungry to feel that drunk and have to fight a mob to
'taste' wine. But you pay ten dollars for a wine glass and get to taste
20 different wines. There is a report card that you get to evaluate each
wine with and you leave with all of your information and opinions, in case
you want to purchase any of these beverages.

Why Pho Sai Gon Sucks
-the lemon beef vermicelli had gristle and bones
-it just was not tasty

The Upside
-an interesting Salty Lemon Water- a little bit sweet and a lot of salt, it was tasty
-the Thai Coffee was like every coffee, yum!

People We Love
-the man in the seer sucker-white and blue stripes-suit...
he was wearing a republican elephant tie and had band aids
all over his face

---$ (minus minus minus $ = cheap!)
not worth the cheap price we paid....
you can always go to Nit Noi, even though they have upped their prices,
at least their food is good
