Refined Vietnamese fare draws droves of locals to this modestly decorated, bi-level restaurant each night. They return for intriguing dishes like rice and frogs' legs steamed in bamboo, fork-tender pork and egg in coconut juice, and crunchy lotus root salad. Even the rice offerings go beyond the ordinary, with four types offered: coconut, Hainan (cooked in chicken stock with ginger and garlic), white, or brown jasmine. Wash down the meal with one of three refreshing Vietnamese beers, and cap it all off with a cup of inky coffee. Lunchtime brings more casual dishes, including pho, rice plates, and noodles. The staff makes up for its inexperience with a cheerful attitude.
