Phuong Nam - Tamarac

The only thing that prevents this little restaurant from being filled at all times is the location. Difficult to locate, but well worth the search/With the owners help I had the Cha Gio, which I considered egg rolls but waaay more delicious, and they came with a sauce that was to die for, I think I could have drank the sauce even without the Cha Gio to dip in it. I noticed a table with about 7 Orientals eating they're lunch while I was here, all seemed to be businessman. That gave me an inkling that this was a place to try real Vietnamese food, the locals eat here. I got brave and ordered some thing calle Canh Chua ca'Bong Lau; which is described as a Sour fish soup!I hated it, terrible terrible, but entirely my fault, I should have inquired about it. My order was for take out and the owner brought it out with Broth in one large container and the sea food and veggies in another, suggesting I put the broth in the microwave for a bit to make sure it was hot enough to bring out the flavors, that was just so nice of him. This little place (about 15 tables no booths) could be a hidden gem. I will definitely go again but this time ask for help with what I order. I wish this place the best of success, and congratulate them on the outstanding cleanliness of they're restaurant.
