We were seated immediately and our server was pleasant andquickly served our meal. It was our first visit so it took a few minutes to make a decision on what to order. My son ordered PhoTai a traditional beef noodle soup and I ordered Bun Tom Xao which is a rice vermicelli noodle salad bowl with stir friedshrimp, served with lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, and lemon sauce. Both meals were very fresh and light. A nice change fromheavier meals. The menu has a wide variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes to choose from. Prices on meals are very affordableand serving portions are generous. We look forward to visiting A Dong again soon.

Plenty of great choices on the menu. The place is clean, matriculate and very inviting. Service staffing (cash register operator and waters) very friendly and accommodating. Strongly recommend that you give it a try you won't be disappointed.
