When I went, I tried nem nướng cuốn (grilled pork spring rolls) and the bánh mì bò kho (Vietnamese beef stew). Honestly, I don’t go out to order Vietnamese food often because my dad makes Vietnamese food at home. But this was a rare occasion because my boyfriend and his friends were craving this and I thought “why not”.
I think the nem nướng cuốn was good. I mean I don’t really think you can go wrong with them. I’d rate it a 5/5.
As for the bánh mì bò kho, I’d rate it a 3.5/5. It was standard, I felt like there could be a little bit more flavor in it, but it was still good.
Overall, I’d rate Brodard Restaurant a 4/5. This is a good place to go to if you want to try Vietnamese food outside of pho. I would probably come back here again to try their other dishes if I was in the area.
