Do you love fresh ingredients, good portion sizes and easy on the wallet food? Then I have the place just for you!
On Sunday, Steve and I had a few errands to complete and decided we would window shop for a few things for the house. After a while, both of our stomachs started to rumble, so we started contemplating what we were in the mood for and where to go. Whenever, we are deciding what to eat when out, we always try and strive to try either a new restaurant, or eat something ethnic. Not always successful, but we try.
We decided that we both were in the mood for Vietnamese, so without hesitation we agreed on Quang. We have been to Quang multiple times, and everytime we leave satisfied with both our experience and the food.
As you walk into the restaurant the first thing you will notice is the expansive dinning area. There must be at least 80 tables in the dinning room, each one filled. (I tried to secretively capture a picture, but no luck) Then you will witness the hussel and bussel of the servers. You will see the smiles, hear the laughter and chatter of all the patrons. Many speaking Vietnamese, but there is definitely not a lack of English too. Lastly, once you are seated and receive your food, you will be tasting the fresh flavors, quality ingredients and just pure good food.
Whether it be Vietnamese food, Thai food, Chinese food, etc.it’s always a must for Steve and I to start with spring rolls and cream cheese wonton’s. We just love them!!
So, naturally, we ordered (picture 1) spring rolls- shrimp and pork with peanut sauce and (picture 2) cream cheese wontons, and we also had (picture 1) skewer meatballs marinated in lemongrass and sweet soy with sweet and sour sauce.
All three of the appetizers were delicious!! 1)The spring rolls were so fresh and the meat inside was tender. 2) The meatballs were out of this world! The meatballs were tender inside with a crispy exterior. The flavor was super simple; good quality meat with a light sweeter flavor. 3) The cream cheese wonton’s had this really nice balance of sweet and savory. The crust was tender and flaky, but thick so it didn’t break apart after the first bite. I loved the subtle sweetness of the crust combined with the creamy, savory mixture in the middle. These are the best cream cheese wonton’s that I have had in a long time.
Since Steve and I usually go heavier on the appetizers, we typically share an entree. We have tried all the entree’s at Quang so far, except for the Banh Mi Sandwiches. We choose the Shredded pork skin and julienne roast pork. This sandwich was awesome!
The French baguette was perfectly crusty so that everytime I bit into the sandwich, flakes of crust would go everywhere. The meat was tender, juice and had a delicate sweet flavor. I loved the toppings of pickled carrots, daikon, cilantro, jalapenos (Steve had mine), red onion and cucumbers; it made all the flavors pop, elevated the freshness and the sourness balanced out the sweet and fattiness from the meat.
I will definitely be ordering another another sandwich off the the menu!
And, lastly, our beverage. Bubble Tea!!! We were each going to have our own, but then decided to share.
We chose mango green tea with mango jellies and tapioca pearls. This hit the spot! It was cold and refreshing. Not to sweet, but not bitter, which I sometimes find with Green Tea. And, you can’t go wrong with the jellies and tapioca pearls, they are so much fun to drink out of the wide straw.
When going to Quang don’t expect your waiter(s) to be overly friendly and chatty. They are polite, but busy. The restaurant is focused on turning tables quickly, because there are more hungry customers waiting. Also, be patient when looking for parking. You might be lucky and get a space right away in their tiny lot, but if not keep trying or park on the street and walk over,
I give Quang 5 out 5 tables. Excellent food, great prices and food quantity and service polite and fast.
Have you been to Quang? If so, what do you think? Leave me a comment below.
