Okay. I'm very excited to write my first scathing review. Thomas and I were craving a light dinner and so we opted for Vietnamese. We had to pick a place with vegetarian options for Thomas' sake and so we came across Indochine in Atwater Village after doing a little internet research. First of all, the service was pretty awful-and I'm really not one to be picky about service. We ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer, and while Thomas thought they were great I thought the hoisin/peanut sauce ratio was a little heavy on the hoisin side. Thomas ordered the vegetarian pho and I ordered the vegetarian bun. The vegetarian version of bun substituted the usual fish sauce for a soy vinegar sauce, which was kind of welcome because too much fish sauce gives me a headache. Thomas' pho was nothing extraordinary. Both our dishes were $8. Truthfully, I've had much better Vietnamese for cheaper and with better service, most notably in Westminster. Indochine felt like a glossed up Americanized/hipsterized version of Vietnamese. Let's face it, Vietnamese food is best at a restaurant that requires you to wipe down your chopsticks with a napkin before use.
Was that scathing? Did I do a good job?
