Description

You will clean your plate if you opt for the unlimited sushi deal at this very casual Vietnamese/Japanese snack joint. Patrons with eyes bigger than their stomachs are charged for any items they order but don't eat. As for the Vietnamese dishes, pho is a major disappointment -- unbeefy, and ungarnished with most of the classic herb/veggie add-ins that are so vital to the beef noodle soup's charm. Much better are Shrimp Garden Rolls, two cold rice parchment-wrapped salad rolls with nicely tender jumbo shrimp, lettuce, vermicelli, aromatic leaves (basil, mint, and cilantro), and two dipping sauces: a nicely spicy peanut, and sweet/sour nuoc mam. The look here is luncheonette and the food is nothing special, but for those looking for late-night Asian snacks in SoBe, it's one of the few bargain choices around.
