DD Mau Vietnamese Eatery

after enduring a 'fast food' run for family we dropped at lambert for a flight my wife began our customary search for a 'celiac friendly kitchen' a quick phone entry and we see "Vietnamese Eatery" and we both get giddy. . . it's been five years since we had viet cuisine and living in the stick were unaware of this place. . ."let's go!" we arrive to a clean, crisp, warm and welcoming place (the dorsett loc) full of people having a great time enjoying their meals. our counter experience was exceptional the staff was very attentive to my wifes' allergies and made certain to note to us the precautions taken and the food . . . i've had the luck of having 'traditional' viet and hmong foods prepared by 'natives' of those cultures and had not expected the level of craft and care in the foods i received, it was glorious . . . real flavors, fresh foods and a staff that was engaged and beyond what one would expect from a 'fast food' styled set up. . . we both had pho but i got a sammich. . .and i must say, to bite into a fresh baked baguette was enough to bring a fat boy to tears . . please, if you find yourself in the neighborhood and want some great food served by folks that are exceptional stop in and give it a go, you will not be disappointed. . . . well worth every penny (and not insanely priced either)! on another note, i personally found explaining to my wife what the name meant the most entertaining part of the day! please take your time to familiarize yourself with this places origin story, makes it even more of a gem!

Love the rare steak pho! Also enjoy the spring rolls. Gluten free goodness!
