Different day for us, usually Wednesday's but we chose today to accommodate Oliver. Nice thing is the restaurant is not busy or noisy. This place can really get to be extremely noisy on weekends and conversations are non existent.
We started off with Clams & Black Bean Sauce, followed by a complimentary dish of Vietnamese Sausage. Anything in black bean sauce is good.
A new dish arrived , one we have not tried before, Salt & Pepper Baby Octopus Tentacles, Really good.
Hot and Sour Soup came next and then Shrimp with Bok Choy & Fat Noodles. Always a favorite. I like anything with fat noodles. They really absorb the flavors of anything they are served with.
Beef with Chinese Broccoli and a fried Whole Fish rounded out the meal. Fresh oranges were dessert.
As usual food was good. Really liked the octopus.
Eight of us tonight. Some people have not joined us in awhile. And a new person to the restaurant. Eight is a good number for the Seafood Palace. But when we dine at the old "Duong Son" which is now the Golden Star I think the table limit will be 6. Smaller venue and 8 would be too crowded at the table. Should be having a dinner there real soon.
