Banh mi and pho in Dallas area

Hi everyone,

What are your favorite places for great banh mi and pho in the Dallas area? I'd like to know where the locals go. I don't mind driving since it sounds like most of the authentic places are outside of the Dallas city.

In reading other boards, it looks like Bistro B and Le Me' are popular spots. While it sounds like they have good vietnamese food overall, people don't really go there for pho or banh mi in particular.

Thanks!

Brunch in Honolulu

Hi everyone,

I was trying to narrow down a few ideas for brunch in Honolulu with a nice ambience. It appears that Orchids is a favoriate.

Also, the Oceanarium at the Pacific Beach Hotel has a seafood buffet on the weekends. There doesn't appear to be any recent posts for the Oceanarium so I'm not sure if anyone has been there recently and can comment on the food.

Thanks for your time!

Best Luau and Good Eats?

Thanks for so much for the tips. We might just decide to skip a luau altogether and save our $$ for a great meal. But if we do decide to do a luau, I now have some pointers as to where to go.

Thanks again.

Best Luau and Good Eats?

Hi there - Can someone give a recommendation for a good place for a luau? I'll be visiting Honolulu for a couple of days and am looking for a good time, but nothing too cheesy.

Thanks for your time!

Authentic Chinese - Northern Jersey?[moved from Midatlantic board]

Does anyone have any recommendations for some good Chinese food that would be considered authentic? So far I've visited Petite Soo Chow for weekend brunch and found it to be comparable to food found in Queens.

I don't want to have to trek all the way to the Edison or New Brunswick area. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Moving to Arlington - where's good?

I went to Toraya over the weekend. We were a little disappointed because there was a long wait for the sushi. The sushi chef was working hard at preparing the food, so we really couldn't be upset. But there was a mix-up in our order so we had to wait an extra 15 minutes. In total we waited over an hour for our sushi. I won't be going back there. Sushi was fresh, but nothing to rave about.
