Honest verdict on Cha Gio — good but not exceptional

Cha Gio here was solidly made — light and herbal without anything to complain about. rice paper was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Vietnamese cuisine shows French colonial influence alongside traditional Southeast Asian techniques. The a Hoi An restaurant atmosphere was pleasant enough. bia hoi draught beer was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Cha Gio this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
