    We decided to give T.H. Dang a try as a new place to eat at / take out from. We dined in.

    The place is very unpretentious and casual. My experience with Asian restaurants is that you can't judge them by their appearance.

    You fill out a little ticket at your table with your order, then bring it up to the counter. It's a bit unusual but I guess it works.

    I don't recall exactly what we ordered but all of it was delicious and inexpensive, and it arrived in good time.

    We have added TH Dang to our "approved" list of take-out restaurants in south Winnipeg.

    Finally a good Vietnamese restaurant in the south end! The restaurant is located just a few blocks south of McGillivray on Pembina, on the southbound side. The restaurant is in a small stand alone building that offers some parking spots in their private lot. The interior space is clean and bright with a mixture of bright green and white paint colours. It's a family run restaurant that definitely looks more updated than the usual Vietnamese places downtown.

    The menu has the usual items like pho, bun (vermicelli) and other soups as well as some stir fried dishes that verge on being Chinese. Pricing is tad higher, by about a $1-$2 per dish, compared to other Vietnamese restaurants but that's offset by the convenience (for me at least).

    One of my addictions involve iced Vietnamese coffee. This places serves a fantastic, strong but well balanced drink (F183 - Vietnamese style coffee with condensed milk for $4.75). I take my cold but you can order it hot. Oh, the coffee was wonderful strong yet smoothed out by the condensed milk. This stuff takes forever to drip from the filter so order it early on in your meal so you can start drinking it mid meal or have it for dessert!

    My next must have dish is a bun (vermicelli) bowl. I was surprised by the price of the super deluxe version, which is $14 but it does offer shrimp and beef in addition to the regular pork items that are included. I went with  V63 - grilled pork, grilled pork patties (2 pcs), pork hash, 2 spring rolls on vermicelli with fresh vegetables ($9). This quintessential Vietnamese dish is served almost room temperature, though the meat can be warm depending on when they grilled the stuff. You pour fish sauce over the entire bowl and let all the beautiful flavours meld together. Mmmm.  It's pretty much a noodle salad.  The grilled pork is very flavourful, same goes for the pork patties. The spring rolls were a little disappointing in size and taste - 2 tiny rolls that sort of disintegrated once the fish sauce was absorbed! The only criticism I have is that there could have been more herbs included. Otherwise, it's a great dish.

    The G112 honey garlic chicken ($11.50) was more honey than garlic. There was a decent amount of chicken stir fried with various vegetables. And the B125 curry beef ($11.50) was a disappointment as the curry flavour was very subtle. I found it strange that they used the charbroiled beef that would go into the vermicelli bowls and summer rolls into this curry dish. It's strange because the beef is marinated for other purposes using totally different flavours. Vietnamese curry dishes taste more subtle than Indian curry dishes. Therefore, the marinated beef clashed with the curry sauce since all I could taste was the more salty marinade in the beef. Also, there was way more sauce and onions than beef strips in this dish. Rice wasn't included with the stir-fry dishes so make sure you order some.
