Bruschetta, italian bread and garlic knots are brought to the table...

Pho Xinh (Vietnamese)

Arriving later than normal since Ken had to work, we arrived at Pho Xinh, around 8:20 PM.

They now have honeydew shakes. Jay was so excited! Yummy!

We always get at least four appetizers. This time was no exception.
A1 - spring rolls
A6 - summer rolls with BBQ pork
A9 - tofu with stuffed shrimp & sauteed in garlic sauce

A10 - grilled ground beef wrapped in grape leaves w/vermicelli

For entrees, Ken ordered
C10 - steam rice w/grilled shrimp

Jay tried
C6 - steam rice w/charbroiled pork, shredded pork and crabmeat egg. The crabmeat egg was interesting, but she probably won't get again. She loves the texture of the shredded pork. She couldn't finished the charbroiled pork and rice, so she brought it home for Ken.

Jay's co-worker, Dana, recommended the seafood lemongrass vermicelli for next time.

Love this place!
