Four stars going on five?

From the two dishes I tried, I’m super stoked about coming back to Aux Delices. The restaurant provided a much wider array of options than I had seen on most Vietnamese menus, whether they were hole-in-the-walls, middle range white table cloth Vietnamese, or fancy-dancy fusion. And the two fish dishes I had were really stellar, and at a much better price that I would have expected.

I came here with a friend who loves this place and I left totally in agreement. On my friend’s recommendation we got the Cha Ca ($12) “Grilled Filets of white fish over fresh dill & green onions with sake anchovy sauce” which was a bowl very tasty white fish with a sauce and herb mix that made every bite a delight. It was hard to pull myself away from it to try the caramel salmon ($11) while it was still piping hot. The salmon dish was a simply cooked salmon in a very hot caramel sauce. My sweet-adverse friend loved it too and didn’t think it was “too sweet” which is rare.

Our friends had one of the rolls and loved it, though their salad was “just salad” our third friend got the vegetarian chow-mein and loved it so much he got another plate of it. I tried a little and it didn’t change my dislike of chow-mein, but he seemed totally satisfied.

Their unfiltered sake ($4 / $6.5) was also great. It was milky white and slightly sweet, somewhat like coconut water, but it was so tasty that two other people ordered large bottles after trying mine.

I’m hoping to come back here enough to raise the stars to the roof.

Great food for a very reasonable price

This family-owned restaurant provides great tasting Asian dishes at a very reasonable price (especially compared to the other restaurants in the area). The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and the staff is very helpful and nice. Great place to go with friends or on a date.

    Although it can be very messy to eat, this is delicious!
