the search for..great vietnamese food

j LOVES vietnamese food. so being 6 hours away from mom's home cooked meals, we've decided to roam around berkeley (and probably to oakland) for the best vietnamese food which will remind us of home while being away from home.
this was our first restaurant: Little Saigon. it was a quiet place and it looked promising (i was solely judging from the name). 
we got goi cuon as an appetizer. j got a bowl of pho tai and i had a bowl of bun bo hue.






the goi cuon didn't have any meat, but tasted ok. kind of bland with just shrimp, vermicelli and lettuce, but the peanut sauce was pretty good. the pho was a disappointment according to j, he didn't like it at all! although he did finish his whole bowl. and lastly, i thought the bun bo hue was decent. not as spicy as i would have liked it, but even the soup wasn't comparable to orange county's little saigon.
so the search continues!

with love,
t
