We have been researching restaurants in SF and keep running across the

It's good food for people who are afraid to go to a real Vietnamese
restaurant.



I understand that it is not authentic Vietnamese food but what is described
as "fusion". The first V. food I ever ate was years ago in SF. We were
staying in a BnB in, I believe, what was referred to as "the avenues". The
lady that ran it told us of a nearby V. restaurant. We ate there and loved
it. Now in Austin , as probably most everywhere, there are plenty of V.
restaurants. If you have a "real" V. place in mind, I would like to know
about it. Thank you.
