Decent Cao Lau — nothing more, nothing less

Cao Lau at this place was fine. The fresh with citrus and mint flavour was there but not distinguished. lemongrass was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Vietnamese cuisine shows French colonial influence alongside traditional Southeast Asian techniques. The a street banh mi counter setting was generic rather than immersive. Vietnamese iced coffee was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Cao Lau it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
