Nominated for: BEST Chinese
Minh Anh is an affordable and delicious family-run eatery on the near west side, offering excellent soups, spring rolls, and a variety of Asian specialties. Cuisine combines Asian flavors with classic French technique, and the result is one of the more delicious cooking styles in the world. At Minh Anh, the meal starts with a cup of aromatic Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea, a nice accompaniment as you peruse the lengthy menu. Food highlights include the house-made soups, easily some of the best in the city. Particularly good is the cinnamon beef ball soup, a complex broth loaded with shrimp, sliced beef, vermicelli, lemon grass, and tiny beef balls. A small saucer of potent hot sauce paste comes with the dish. Entrees range from simple noodle dishes, garnished with peanuts and julienned carrots and cucumbers to more exotic dishes, such as frog legs cooked in coconut milk. I've eaten here at least twenty times and everything I've had has been delicious.
