Benny Lai's new offshoot of Vietnam, a longtime Chinatown favorite, brings the same meaty Pho Dac Biet and — mmmm — crispy pork spring rolls to the West Philly crowd with a smaller (32 seats) but just-as-chic version of the original. Unlike the first, this one's BYOB—-which, as Lai points out, just helps maintain those super-affordable price points that make both Vietnam’s that much more loveable.

Much anticipated restaurant turns disappointing. We live nearby and love vietnamese food. The folks running the place try to be professional but actually are insensitive to the diners. The food is good but:they hover over you;want you in and out in quick time; the kitchen does not pace the food well; they told us last time that we need to spend $10 minimum next time, they are telling us how to eat; they forget this is a neighborhood and we have supported their deli for many years; we don't want to feel rushed eating; they need to loosen up and let people enjoy eating there. Now we will just go the Laotian place around the corner (vientiene) and enjoy a leisurely dinner with a cordial staff.
