All the ones I've had were hand-me-downs from Family. The lunch does sound awesome. Never had Vietnamese before, but have had Thai and Korean. I LOVE Korean. You'd like vietnamese .. most of it is quite simple food.. i had steamed white rice, grilled chicken thighs with pickled carrot and cabbage. Comes with a small bowl of chicken broth and some nice fish (not fishy) sauce. i add nice homemade hot sauce .. sooo good. Michael had vermicelli with pork and beef and it comes with bean sprouts and cabbage and carrot. We also had shrimp fresh rolls 1 2 Link to comment

We were full afterward and the bill was like $35.00 Those rolls have shrimp, basil, lettuce and vermicelli, you dip them in sort sweet teriyaki type sauce or fish sauce. Their deep fried spring rolls are soo good. I like the mango salad, which is made with red, orange, green and yellow bell peppers, green mango and peanuts and hot peppers... lots of stuff to choose from. Peter likes Pho .. the soup.. which has wonderful rich broth, meat and veg.. It's food worth eating. 2 Link to comment

MacGreg Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I definitely recommend Vietnamese cuisine. I have a place near me that has killer marinated/grilled meat in all their meat dishes. Everything is very flavorful. 3 Link to comment

But definitely on the fancy side. For a special date night or something. I figured. Most of the Ma/Pa places over here in South Tampa are like that. They cater more to the East Side of Dale Mabry, where the average single story 1 or 2 bedrooms home around 1500sqft is about $650,000.00. On Bayshore, you're looking at $1.5Million at the minimum on some places. 7 minutes ago, Mikiesboy said: @BHopper2 so in the link i posted.. we were sitting at the table on the extreme left today.. hehe.

Walk in when it wasn't busy, and you'd see the Owner's mother sitting in the dining room, watching a Korean channel on cable, and hand-making the kimchi-dumplings (oh, so good). 2 Link to comment
Starrynight22 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I've never had Korean food. I've had Vietnamese sandwiches once. Thdg were part of a catered function celebrating Asia. I worked for a university for 5 years... Themed catered food was common 3 Link to comment
MacGreg Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 There's a Hawaiian restaurant about 30 miles from where I live. Ever since I lived on the islands, whenever I'm sick, I immediately crave saimin. So a few days ago I drove the distance to get some. Fuck, it was good. I wish they delivered. (wanting some now...) 4 Link to comment
Thorn Wilde Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I looooove Vietnamese! There's one here in Oslo I've been eating at since we moved here when I was 8. It was my dad's favourite. He travelled to Vietnam for work, to help them set up national servers and databases and stuff, in the mid and late 90s. Got a real taste for the food, so he found a restaurant called Saigon and took me there. I've been eating there since. Always loved it. (I was not a picky eater, I loved all kinds of food when I was a kid.) I love fresh rolls and Pho and, well, everything. Korean is nice, too. Not a lot of Korean places in Oslo, sadly. Used to be a really good one that did both Korean and Japanese, but they had to move from the location where they'd been for like 20 years. Tried to reopen elsewhere, but I think they lost their chef, cause they're not as good anymore. But there's a really great Korean restaurant in London I've been to several times. They do these amazing set menus. Also had Korean food in Japan. And what the Japanese call Yaki Niku (which translates to 'fried meat') is basically Korean food, too. 3 Link to comment

There's so much interesting Hawaiian food. So many different cultures coming together. I don't think there are any proper Hawaiian restaurants in Oslo, though. There's a food truck that does Poke. Oh! And some shops sell ice cream mochi! So much I'd like to try, though. 2 1 Link to comment
