Location: Near downtown Orlando
Cuisine: Asian/Pac Rim
Price Category: Inexpensive

Asian immigrants created the demand for Viet cuisine, and this little eatery is one of the best. Better yet, it doesn't attract many tourists. Try the summer rolls -- a soft wrap filled with rice, shrimp, and pork served with a delicious peanut sauce. Head next for the grilled pork and egg over rice and noodles or barbecued beef with fried egg and rice. If your appetite is larger than average, try one of the traditional soups with noodles, rice, vegetables, and either chicken, beef, or seafood. The numbered menu isn't translated well, so you may need to ask your server exactly what goes into No. 86. (Some don't speak English, so ask to speak to a manager.) As a testament to the restaurant's authenticity, tables here are usually filled with members of the local Vietnamese community. There are very limited wine and beer choices.
