This was our first time at A Dong and we went with friends that have been going there for over 20 years. They have authentic Vietnamese and the food was delicious. They use very little fat in their cooking and the food tasted fresh and light. I tried an authentic option recommended to me, and will have to go back to try some more. The prices were also affordable. Very happy.
