Hai Ky
1931-B E. Oltorf, 512/693-2464
This restaurant is spare in decor but meticulously clean. The menu features a mix of Vietnamese noodle-house items, from appetizers to pho, bun, and rice plates, with a smattering of Chinese stir-fries thrown in for the timid or uninformed.
A mix of popular Chinese dishes complements its Vietnamese menu. It really shines with the blackboard Vietnamese specials, particularly the vegetarian dishes.

The light, savory salads come with either grilled or lemongrass-seasoned meat, seafood, or tofu and are drizzled with special Tháison dressing.
