This is a charming restaurant, with tables scattered amid a "forest" of tropical foliage, and twinkly lights strewn upon the fronds of the potted palms and ferns.

The food here is delicious and authentic, though the service can be a trifle slow when the restaurant is busy. To begin, there is the crispy calamari, or the shrimp and pork-stuffed garden rolls. House specialties include steamed flounder, caramel salmon, and "shaking beef" (cubes of tender Vietnamese steak, marinated in wine, garlic, butter, and soy sauce, then sautéed with onions and potatoes and served with rice and salad). There's a full bar. Desserts range from bananas flambé au rhum (fried bananas with rum sauce) to ice cream with Godiva liqueur. Not to be missed is drip-pot coffee, brewed table side and served iced over sweetened condensed milk.

Lunch main courses $4.50-$8.95; dinner main courses $8.95-$22.95.Open: Mon-Fri 11:30am-10:30pm (lunch menu served until 3pm); Sat-Sun noon-11pm (dinner menu served all day).Reservations recommended, especially weekend nights.Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V.
