Uncle Phan serves delicious Vietnamese snacks and quick meals!!! Bun rieu flavor is quite solid compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. However the rieu is in a block instead of spreading out thinly and floating on top. The rieu block is not meaty, tastes like mainly eggs and tofu. Bun moc has clear broth, great amount of meat, very comforting. Each bowl of noodle soup is paired with a plate of morning glory, bean sprouts, lettuce, lime wedges, and a small bowl of shrimp paste and fresh ground chili. They also have a great variety of snacks, such as: banh bao (pork bun), banh it, banh gio, banh beo, banh bot loc, banh cam, banh tieu, you name it. One of my favorites is yogurt with purple rice - creamy, refreshing, and chewy rice with a perfect amount of sweetness. They also serve many different drinks, such as kumquat with salted plum, Vietnamese coffee, salted coffee, sugar cane juice (it's just alright), etc. The store is small with 5 tables for dine-in. Pay with cash and you will get some discounts ;) If you want to explore some Vietnamese snacks or noodle soups, visit Uncle Phan and give them a try.
