Excellent new restaurant
Tried Xanh tonight, for the first time (it’s on Castro in Mountain View, CA) – outstanding! This is no Vietnamese noodle shop, but shows all of the style and grace of the best Franco-Vietnamese establishments. Best we’ve had in a number of years!
The crispy egg roll and crispy shrimp roll were fine, my Miso Salmon over coconut rice and Anne’s Crab with Glass Noodles were head and shoulders above the best Thai & Chinese establishments. And, of course, the ambience is simply elegant. At least, as elegant as you can get on Castro.
We enjoyed a bottle of Gewurztraminer from New Zealand’s Bird vineyards along with it. Just an excellent meal.
