While we were looking for a good idea for dinner tonight we came across this excellent idea from Vietnam Restaurant and Cafe.
the all appetizer meal. Good for lunch or dinner. Grilled meat balls, crispy crepe, shrimp and pork rolls and stuffed grape leaves.
Sounds like a good idea to us.

Adam Erace starts his review in the restroom at Vietnam Cafe, rarely a good sign but Erace does indeed dig the French Colonial dining room at Vietnam’s West Philadelphia sibling. He also finds plenty to like about the food.
Exhibit A: heavenly summer rolls I recommend swirling through the house nuoc mam, a salve of sweet white vinegar, garlic and funky fish sauce. There’s mahogany hoisin too, topped with crushed peanuts, and a vicious chili oil bloody with crushed peppers. Despite the aggressive condiments, the smokiness of the marinated and chargrilled pork inside the rice paper bundles came through, freshened by fragrant bursts of mint and basil.
