909 Sleater Kinney Rd SE, Lacey
Date of visit: 7/24/07
What we had:
Pho Tai Nam, Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, spring rolls
The broth in the Pho Tai Nam (rice noodles in beef soup served with beef flank steak and beef brisket) wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked.
The spring roll wasn't wrapped tightly so the contents spilled out into the peanut sauce after the first bite. Good thing the peanut sauce was yummy.
This version of Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (vermicelli rice noodles served with charcoal grilled pork, egg rolls, salad greens, and herbs) is passable, but not the greatest I've ever had. The pork was a bit rubbery in texture and the accompanying Nước chấm's flavor was on the tame side.

Welcome
Going to a new restaurant is a gamble. Sometimes you hit the jackpot- the food is outstanding and the server makes you feel like family. Other times, it's a bust and you wish you had just made a bologna sandwich at home because that salmon you ordered was a bit off and the service was similar to being in prison.
