EXPENSIVE Ana Mandar a VIETNAMESE The moment y ou walk thr ough the doors of this serene spiritual travel tours restaurant, you are transported to Vietnam or at least a mo vie set of it. The interior includes facades of a Vietnamese-style home and a F rench colonial building, palm trees, and other Indochinese artifacts. Yet the 18-foot-high black ceiling is dotted spiritual travel tours with spotlights, as if to remind you that this is not Vietnam, but a replica of it. The food seems to follow suit. Appetizers such as crispy rolls with crab, shrimp, and shiitake mushrooms and entrees such as tournedos of beef tenderloin with onions and pepper cress are very tasty, but seem firmly gr ounded on this continent which may be just as w ell for the little ones among you. Although there is no children s menu, kids do enjoy the beef tournedos, spiritual travel tours as well as the side of garlic noodles. There are a few truly exotic options, like the luscious mango soup with durian sorbet, which is a must-have for dessert. The dinner menu edges this restaurant into the expensive category, but lunch prices are more moderate, with main courses starting at $14.
