Here's something that you don't see every day: a Vietnamese-American brunch specialist in the middle of upscale Los Gatos that has apparently been quite popular on the weekend for its boozy parties complete with a DJ. I was rather concerned when I walked in, especially given the tacky black-and-gold decor and even some kind of a robotic hamburger machine in the back. It looked like it was placing more emphasis on glamor than gastronomy.
So I was a bit surprised to find that I was rather happy with my phở bánh mì dip above. Yep, it was a bánh mì, but pressed flat like a panini or Cubano. It came with a small bowl of phở broth on the side so that one could consume it like a French Dip. It sounded gimmicky, but it was actually half-decent, especially since they did an impressive jalapeno puree-based sauce for it too. I was not expecting to like it as much as I did, atlhough I won't go back for it either unless a boozy lunch is the intention.
