Here’s a glimpse of the delicious food served at Em Restaurant –

Beverages:

Aloe, It’s me – $6 – A refreshing mix of aloe vera, lychee, mint, and lemon. 

First off, how creative is the name of this drink? If you like the famous Adele song, you’ve got to try out this perfectly refreshing drink, especially on a hot summer day. Aloe vera is said to be great for hair and skin and the litchi adds a touch of tropical flavor to this beverage.

Appetizers:

Summer Rolls (Goi Cuon) $6 – Made with shrimp, lettuce, mint, chives, vermicelli noodles wrapped in rice paper with peanut sauce

These summer rolls dipped in their delicious peanut sauce are a delicious combo and a great way to start your meal.

Sandwiches:

Banh Mi Bo  – $9 – Aromatic braised beef sandwich with lime juice, onions, black pepper, Vietnamese mayo, house-made pate, cilantro, pickled carrots & daikon

There is nothing better than beef that has been cooked for 24 hours. The juicy beef along with the locally sourced bread makes it one irresistible combo and you will certainly savor each and every bite of this sandwich.

Soups:

Mien Ga – $8.50 – Vietnamese Chicken noodle soup for the soul featuring glass noodles, fresh shredded chicken, scallions, onions, & cilantro

Very comforting and warm – this is the kind of soup I could practically have all day, every day. The broth, in particular, is really flavorful – something that you would enjoy even when you’re feeling a little under the weather.

 

Hu Tieu Em – $8.50 – Em’s signature soup noodle with shrimp, pork ribs, quail eggs, chives, scallions, cilantro & gluten-free rice noodles

Right from the tender pork ribs to the seafood broth, this soup is basically like a meat and seafood lover’s delight and will keep you full for a very long time.

I mean if this doesn’t make you feel like diving into this delicious bowl, I don’t know what will!
