Doan's Vietnamese Cuisine

First time here. Only had a summer role because I was not hungry. I'll be back. Nice calm atmosphere and it does not have a strong food smell like other places that I dont like.

So Clean. So Fresh. So Friendly. So good. The Pho broth is so tasty I could eat a bowl everyday. Not too sweet or salty, big round beef flavor, just enough richness without being too heavy. They have awesome sauces and dips- not just your average store bought fish sauce or peanut. They also have the most deep, flavorful, spicy chili oil I have ever tried. The servers work super hard, constantly running back to the ringing bell from the kitchen to retrieve giant trays of piping hot soup. I usually get a pot of chrysanthemum tea- a scoop of real dried flowers in the teapot. I love the service, the owners and staff remember me and greet me kinda like family. I've just finished a bowl, and want to go back already. I guess I'll wait until tomorrow. Thanks Doan's! From what I know, pronounced: Do-an's (two syllables)

The caramelized pork, served with rice, was good, but watch out for the sharp pieces of bone attached to the meat-- not all pieces are boneless. My companion's Singaporean noodles with tofu and vegetables was good. It was described as spicy, but it wasn't so much. Best part of the meal was the avocado smoothie and the Vietnamese coffee (with condensed milk). We left stuffed. Not quite up to the quality of Lang Van across town, so four stars.

The food here is very decent. I asked for extra spicy and nearly got there with my pad Thai (I like kill-me spicy). The atmosphere is decent and that play Asian music. They encourage the use of the chopstick but they still have forks, of wanted. Proportions are enough, but not so much that you can't finish.

My wife is great Vietnamese cooks. Rarely I go out and eat at any Vietnamese restaurant. But this one is the best one. Even my kids agree it must be 5 stars.
