Emile and I tested out a new Sunset Park restaurant recently: Thanh Da. Thanh Da is a Vietnamese restaurant that is super cheap and, as we delighted in discovering, super delicious. The place is a bit small, with handwritten signs in Vietnamese and English advertising various products from "Fried Shrimp Chips" to "Lychee Shakes." Diners can either order take-out from the counter, or can sit down and order from a waitress in the requisite blue caps. We ordered Vietnamese spring rolls, which were filled with meat and vegetables and came with a light (not sticky) carrot-and-garlic sauce. I ordered a Vietnamese meatball baguette, which comes on a French-style baguette with meatballs spiced with beets, jicama, carrots, and cilantro. The waitress also brought a plate of leafy greens to further stuff our sandwiches: mint and watercress. The mint provided the perfect refreshing bite to offset the spice of the meatballs. I also had a Vietnamese iced coffee (Ca Phe Sua Da) and Emile had a lychee shake.
SO. Delicious. And our entire bill was $16.
Oh, we'll be back.
