Albany Ao Sen — Restaurant in Albany

The food is good, depending on the dish. APPETIZER #B-Spring Rolls are great with the dipping sauce (I see this dish on almost every table whenever I'm here) and #C-Spicy Marinated Fired Chicken Wings are tasty. MAIN DISH I personally like #25 Com Tam Bi Cha Thit Nuong and Bun Bo Hue is authentic (just missing pork hock leg). Bun Bo Hue can be spicy for those who cannot handle a little heat.

I'd recommend a smaller serving size to fully savor the flavors without it becoming overwhelming. Despite the sweetness, the dessert added a delightful touch to the overall dining experience. A great spot for a satisfying meal, just be mindful of the...
