Now its easy when it comes to ordering because you just use the numbering system rather than try to say what you want.  It makes it easy because the person taking your order probably has a limited grasp of the English language.  (This goes for most Asian restaurants.)

I noticed that the menu can easily be improved to add efficiency.  Instead of a new name for a rice plate or bowl of pho when a different meat, vegetable or side is introduced, why not just let us order from a set of options to go with the standard rice and veggies.

For example, item #1 can be rice with charbroiled beef and shrimp paste and item #2 is rice with shredded pork and egg rolls.  In the end, its just different combinations of these items:  charbroiled beef, charbroiled pork chop, shredded pork, shrimp paste, shrimp egg roll, sausage, conbination egg roll, steamed egg and bean curd shrimp paste.  Some items have 3 items, some have 4 and some just 2.  This is ridiculous because in order for me to find the right combination I have to sift through about 60 different item combinations.

Wouldn’t it be easier if the menu just offered meat side options as two or three items at different price points.  Seriously, I can then choose and match the stuff I really want without spending 5 minutes looking for something that may not even exist.

In the end though, as delicious as it is, it always somehow taste the same.  Especially once you pour that fish sauce over the rice.
