You know about Asian food already, but you don’t know about this.

Chinese take-out places outnumber McDonalds’. Japanese places like Sake and Lucky Samurai serve the well-known Teriyaki dishes. But there is another category of Asian food that is fast becmoing the new trend.

Have you ever heard of Goi Cuon, Bun Thit Nuong, Com Chien, or Pho? Most people hear those names and are surprised by how strange they sound. They ask: are those really being sold in Gastonia? (They are even more surprised at how flavorful they are). These are just some of the types of food you will find at a Vietnamese Restaurant.

Vietnamese food is different than other Asian food because Vietnam has a more diverse and wider culinary background than that which makes up the cuisine of Chinese or Japanese. Some of the things that people find when they try Vietnamese food for the first time is that it is more balanced in it’s flavoring, fresher with more spices and herbs. It’s more exotic, healthier, and most important—it’s tastier!

Gastonia is growing and with that growth comes diversity. Now, Gastonia can finally claim that it is the home of an Authentic Vietnamese Restaurant. Are you going to try it?
