“TNT Vietnamese Restaurant is an oldie but a goodie. I used to frequent here a lot, but a few owner changes left me dining elsewhere instead. However, in more recent times it seems to have made a comeback. Not like before but different in an ok way. My beloved bun mam was good, not mindblownly delicious by any means. Bun mam is a very pungent flavor, largely created off shrimp paste, seafoods and crispy pork. It’s a unique taste for sure, often referred to on menus as “seafood gumbo”. It is not for the sensitive eater, FYI. I, however, LOVE this dish and if I see it on a Vietnamese restaurant menu, it’s my automatic go to. This one could have been “more stinky” (for those that know what I mean, ya know what I mean) but it was still good. Fried tofu here is always fried hot with a great dipping sauce. Simple appetizer, always a crowd pleaser. The wings here are normally good but today it was busy for lunch and they failed to sauté the vegetables like they normally do. Wings were still good, just not their usual tastiness. All good, we still ate them. Egg rolls are standardly good, LOVE me some fish sauce and Sriracha to dip them in. Special Fried Rice was spectacular as always, love the sweet Chinese sausage in this dish. And yes, I dumped fish sauce and sriracha on this too. Judge me all you want, I don’t comment when I see people dip their sushi in sweet & sour sauce 🤷🏻♀️ Always in my Asian food rotation but I do miss the old bun mam recipe 🥺”
