Tai Sun Vienamese Noodle

Thai Sun Vietnameese : 373 E. Broadway

A long standing Vietnamese restaurant that has several locations. We come here occasionally for the pho noodles. Apart from the normal pho options at lunch, our favorites are actually their dinner choices.


Fish Hot Pot: This is only available after 5pm. The hotpot is a combination of sweet and sour flavors (sugar cane, pineapple, tomatoes, bean sprout, lots of vegetables, and 4 to 5 slices of fish). In addition to the hotpot, this dish is served with another serving of fish in small pot flavored with fish sauce, giving a deep and salty flavor. The fish complements the sweet and sour soup from the hotpot. A side of rice is all you need to gobble down this dish.


Seafood Omelet : This thin and crisp omelet of shrimp, squid and shredded coconut is served with a healthy side of lettuce, jalapeno, and pickled carrots and radish. The best way to eat this is to wrap the omelet with the lettuce. Dipped in the sweet and sour sauce this wrap is crunchy and feels refreshingly light.

Our Verdict:
  • Location: It has been here for a while. Easy to find, but decor is dated and dingy.
  • Price: Standard. Pho at this location is standard fare. The hotpot is expensive by Vietnamese food standards at about $12 per person.
  • Large portions, good food. Strong contrasting flavors that work well together. Its always a good sign when we see Vietnamese eating the same dishes as what we ordered.
