Bona's VR in Stadium Village, I have not been there.

Best Vietnamese Springrolls??

au natural -- Goi Cuon , kind of hard to be better than Quang, they have two
butter-flied shrimp in there, $2.75 for two. They have three different
styles, if you don't like shrimp.
fried -- Cha Goi, kind of hard to be better than Lotus, Uptown. I think
there is one near Stadium Village, but haven't been there.

I usually hate Chinese eggrolls, usually made of vermicelli and cabbage,
cheap stuffing, so I refuse to order them now.  Also prefer the delicate
wrapper of rice paper.

Are you referring to pickled pearl onions? Also had them in VN rest
CenterCity, Philadelphia. Maybe they are an east coast phenomenon. Usually
can be found in a Vietnamese grocery.

Agreed, I like their Pho.  I like Bona's as well, as long as you go at
the end of the day (the broth is watery at lunch).

Just wondering, since you seem to have sampled most of the Vietnamese
places, who has the best vietnamese eggrolls?  And any of the Pho
places you know serve it with a plate of vinegar-soaked onions?  Most
of the better Pho places in the Washington, DC area did that...
