kinda poor

I have very good input on a LOT of the Vietnamese restaurants in town. Me and my friend went through a period where we toured the city's vietnamese restaurants, critiquing each. Every Saturday and Sunday, and whatever we could manage on the odd week day lunch hour. Really it was pass / fail for each restaurant, though failing doesn't mean it's terrible just that I wouldn't go back, compared to the other restaurants in town. I always order one of 5 dishes to compare each restaurant and here I've had the beef and shrimp vermacelli, I guess you would call it. The food was mediocre, lacked flavour, and the atmosphere and staff were "meh". It didn't seem like a restaurant, but more like a shady night club with tables. They must have been setting up for something that night.
