Tien Giang: A Taste of Argyle

One of the charms of our neighborhood is that a few blocks away are over a dozen Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai restaraunts along Argyle Avenue and that area.  For years, we had a favorite that was right by the El.  The food was always good, there was lots of room, and the service was dependable.  The fact that the owner looked like the bad guy from an 80s Chuck Norris movie was an extra plus for Neil.  Sadly, the place burned a few years ago and we've been meandering between a number of places for Vietnamese and Thai since.  Imagine our surprise recently then when we noticed that the name on a tiny Vietnamese place on Broadway looked an awful lot like the name of our old favorite.  After consulting an old menu we had laying around, we confirmed that our favorite place had indeed been reborn a block away for who knows how long without us even knowing it.  Excited to try it again, we set out for Tien Giang to take our food adventure to Vietnam!
