eroica38 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 How many tables are there? Is this a candidate for a $20 Tuesday? There are about 12 or so four tops and there is good parking. IMHO it would be a great place for a $20 Tuesday. Count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidsdc Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 How many tables are there? Is this a candidate for a $20 Tuesday? I was there tonight and talked with Jimmy about how large a group they could accommodate. The place can hold about 40-44 pple. He would definitely welcome a group!

And I'll be coming from downtown DC so I am also available to pickup at a Metro, or take a passenger or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidsdc Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well, if it weren't for the snow, I would have been back for a visit to the restaurant and spoken with the owners about the event. And I'm really wishing I was in walking distance, however, I do know that my FIL is already so stir crazy that we will probably be there this weekend! So, just a tickler to be thinking of warm spicy food in this cold snowy blizzard. And don't forget to post in this thread if there is anything in particular one would like to see on the menu for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidsdc Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I confirmed the date this weekend--we are set for March 2nd at 7:15 pm. It's only 2 weeks away!! Our current count is at 11, and we have room for 9 more so check your calendars... I spoke with them a bit about the menu, and good things are in store!

fuzzy510 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 So apparently I'm going to need to be working Tuesday night (even though it wasn't on my schedule originally, argh), so unless I can convince my boss otherwise, I'm regrettably going to have to sit this one out.

squidsdc Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The countdown is on...one week until deliciousness! Seriously, this is a great opportunity for some good grub. The more the merrier, as we will be eating "family style." Sorry you can't join us fuzzy510--maybe your boss won't miss you if you show up late? We're at 10 right now, and don't forget, there are people available to pick up at Metro in case anyone needs a ride to the restaurant. So any more takers? The more people we have the more dishes we can try! As an aside, tonight my dinner was leftover broth from my meal at Mi La Cay the other night, and it was just as good the second time around!

JeffC Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I moved away from Silver Spring just hours before the Snowpocalypse, but my taste buds long to be with you on March 2nd. Seriously, this is some great food at a very good price. I was having lunch there almost daily before the move and miss the place terribly--I think the folks who occupied the space before moving next door must have thought that I dropped of the face of the earth. If anyone is sitting on the fence about signing up, don't hesitate to jump in. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielK Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I don't have specific dish thoughts, but this menu seems a little bit "safe" to me. Don't these dishes seem like what the average person walking in off the street would order? And, only 4 main dishes for 10 people? I'd rather have smaller portions of more dishes. Now, if this is what the owners say is the strength of their kitchen, I'm fine with it, but I'd be interested in dishes I can't get other places.

Being alone I could only try one dish - Com Pan w/grilled pork and shrimp - it was excellent. A few years ago I spent a weekend in Saigon and this food was every bit as good.

eroica38 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The menu looks good and I too would love to see the Spicy Papaya Salad and Vietnamese Pancake. The Roast Duck Home Style Egg Noodle is soup based and may be a problem to share family style, but let's ask. BTW when I had lunch there yesterday I spoke with the chef and he is really psyched up about our event. Looking forward to the dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy510 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Alright, my work schedule isn't going to be fun, but I'll be able to make it (and frankly, I'd be pretty pissed if I missed this for work). Regarding the menu, I agree that it looks a little safe, and I agree that not having a noodle dish on there is a mistake. With that said, I think there's something to be said for having a couple of safer options on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyjoan Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 So...I will be in DC next week for work, and I would really like to attend this event. Is there still room? Also, can someone cart me there or pick me up at a Metro station? If so, just let me know the timing of things - my work will be in the 18th and G area, and I'm staying at the Capital Hilton at 16th and K. I hope we can make it work! Sounds delicious...
