Da Nang Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Antioch

Preface: I’m not going to give a star rating, but I will give my honest opinions.

Bun Bo Hue (small, $13): Surprisingly a LOT of meat ingredients in this soup. Maybe 4-6 slices of beef, decent sized pork hock, two large pork blood cubes, and three slices of the other thing (i forget) Broth had a lackluster slightly unsettling porky flavor. After adding in some of the basil, mint, bean sprouts, cabbage, and some sauce and lime to my taste, it was pretty decent. It definitely was a small bowl. Satisfying for one person, but I could maybe eat more (215 lb man). The beef slices were a bit tough but had a nice flavor. Pork hock was nice and tender, chewy, tasted good also. I didn’t like the pork blood, but I never do. Decent amount of noodles, but the soup was served just warm to hot, not as hot as I’d like.

Banh Mi (Beef, $12): Overpriced in my opinion. Solid, but not what I want in Banh Mi. Bread was really nice soft yet crunchy texture. Had lettuce, a may that was kind of americany and not the garlicky yolkier yellow mayo I’d expect, pickled carrots, daikon, cilantro, and jalapeño. Beef was strange, kind of like beef jerky in texture but softer. Strangely the banh mi almost tasted like a big mac at times.

Nice clean restroom, decently nice ambience and not too busy during Monday lunch.

Water tasted nice and clean, with the nice little...

Looked for a pho place near me. Found this spot and noticed high reviews so decided to try it out. Ordered small #18 pho with brocolli and my partner ordered medium #18 with extra broth and bok choy. The waitress repeated the order and said bok choy in both, I corrected her and asked for broccoli in mine. The order came out and mine had the bok choy and hers had the broccoli. Not the worst that could happen. Dealt with it. Had a taste of the broth and it wasnt as flavorful as I was hoping considering all the reviews about how their pho is flavorful. Mine was also not hot. It was luke warm. Soup should be hot. Anyway, went up to pay and mentioned this to the cashier, she supposedly gave us a discount but don't know for sure because we didnt see the original charge. Three stars for that but probably won't be back....

Talk about a great secret in Antioch, this place is family run and has the greatest fresh veg and seafood dishes, so tasty, plenty of food given, service is personal and very pleasant with the owner usually coming over and getting very friendly sharing stories of how he met his wife during the Vietnam war. It is a family run delicious tasting generous portions,fresh food, everything from the fresh coconut drink in the coconut, to the main dishes is DELICiOUS and worth your going out and trying it. Plenty of room for parties ( large and small) Clean, quick service, just cannot say enough good about this place.Only draw back is if you are a Christian family eating there the waitress does have some vulgar tattoos near her breasts, which is not too good for children to read. Other than this one thing it should...
