Patrons of A Dong are a devoted bunch. Last fall, as the bulldozers made their advance on the old neighborhood...

Phone mobile review by twa-ly-bob (7 reviews)
September 02, 2009 - Likes it - If you want authentic Viet food in this area, then this is the place. It has everything and anything, from bún, pho, com, bánh canh, bánh xèo, you name it! I ordered the bánh cuôn with tôm chiên & cha lua (sheets were a lil thick, meat were not great, bánh xèo (not crunchy, not the best but acceptable) and fish sauce could be a lil sweeter. Bò tái chanh (lemon rare steak) with salt, pepper, & lemon dip was pretty good n interesting. Overall, it was pretty good. Location: Although it's on high, the sign is barely visible from there and I almost missed it.

August 04, 2009 - Likes it - There is something for all pan-Asian food lovers at A Dong. Try their coffee, as it is served thick and flavorful. The spring rolls are delicate, and even the most exotic of the menu choices is made to please the inexperienced palate.

November 05, 2008 - Likes it - This is a fantastic meal with I am guessing authentic Vietnamese food - I have yet to find something I didn't like.  The food is aromatic, spiced just right and just plain yummy.  Be adventurous - try it - I doubt you'll be disappointed.

"Authentic" by dchamp (10 reviews)
August 30, 2008 - Likes it - These guys have been around for a long time, and they're know for having an excellent (HUGE) menu of authentic Thai & Vietnamese food. It's always an adventure trying something new... but I usually end up getting my favorite here - the chicken curry stir fry - which I like because it's not the usual curry & coconut sauce that everyone else makes. Also try the fried shrimp roll appetizers.
