Dua Vietnamese Noodle Soup

Owners Mylinh Cao and her mother, Tham Mai, strive to bring a taste of Vietnam to downtown, and standard Vietnamese dishes — such as pho and com — abound. The bun dishes provide a refreshing spin on the average lunchtime salad — chilled rice vermicelli noodles are loaded with your choice of meat or tofu, shallots, ground peanuts, crunchy shreds of lettuce, fresh herbs and a hacked-up fried spring roll. Sister restaurant Dua II Go next door offers fast takeout and delivery.
