Back in my hearing daze (like 1977), when I really wanted to impress a first date, I took her to Chez Bach in Branford, (Connecticut). Probably the best Vietnamese restaurant in the entire state.

Chines food in China is so much better! Not near as heavy there as it is here. Scary thing is there's not many parts of the animal they don't eat! But it makes for a fun buffet!
