Dong Phuong Restaurant Review

: Dong Phuong supplies many other local Asian markets with bread as well as both sweet and savory pastries. Family groups who often gather around one or two of the tables come for the Vietnamese seafood egg rolls; the five-spice duck noodle soup; the po' boy-like barbecue pork crispy bun; the jumbo shrimp; and the beef stick around fireplace. For the latter dish, eight skewers holding strips of thin-sliced beef come to the table to be dipped into a plum-type sauce with an enticing perfume and a peppery edge. Colorful paper lanterns and a big, gurgling fish tank enliven the décor, making a visit to the restaurant worthwhile just for its visual delights. Check out the bakery, where a single dollar buys three crusty Vietnamese-style baguettes still warm from the oven. No alcohol. For another four bucks you can treat yourself to a choice of two dozen flavors of bubble tea for dessert.
