ANcHOI

I stopped in to try this new Asian fusion/Vietnamese place the other day.  I had the Bun Cha - Hanoi Original bowl and a CocoMatcha tea.  There's a lot going on with the Bun Cha--it was served with grilled pork patties marinating in the fish sauce, along with sliced grilled pork and the traditional vermicelli noodles, some cabbage, some cilantro, and mint.  There was plenty of fish sauce, which I appreciate because I use a lot.  The pork patties are grilled over lava rocks, not a flat grill, so you get more of an outdoor grill flavor.  I ordered mine with egg rolls, which come in the bowl.  A delicious combination of flavors.

I ordered the Matcha tea, and the waitress redirected me to the CocoMatcha, a combination of matcha tea and coconut milk.  The matcha balanced the coconut and made for a refreshing drink to go with the food.  It's definitely a great idea to get the specialty drink with the meal.

The service was very friendly, and the staff are ready to make recommendations for you, which is something I like a lot. I had a great experience.  The bathroom was clean and ready to go on my visit.  You can see some of the elements of Thai Express, which was the previous restaurant in that space--Anchoi is owned by the same family, striking out on their own rather than running a franchise.  I thought Thai Express was OK, but would have to say I like this a lot better.
