Thai Son: A Vietnamese Gem in Chinatown

One of my favorite places to eat in Chinatown in a Vietnamese place, Thai Son, on Baxter Street. My boyfriend doesn’t live in NYC anymore so quick Saturday lunch trips aren’t as frequent as they used to be. Now I find myself drooling just thinking about their fried pork spring rolls, #24 on the menu (i think), and noodles, #49.   The rice vermicelli noodles are so light and are served at room temperature. The mint, cucumbers, lettuce, and bean sprouts mixed in are so refreshing. I’ve given up asking for them to leave off the peanuts, they always seem to forget, oh well I learned to love them.
