Alright, let’s talk about this Rice and Spoon place, you know, the one with the Viet-na-meese food. I ain’t no fancy food critic or nothin’, just a regular person who likes to eat good food. So, listen up, and I’ll tell ya what I think.

First off, they got this Pho stuff. Now, I ain’t sure how to say it right, but it’s like a noodle soup, real big bowl. They put some thin slices of meat in it, sometimes it’s beef, sometimes chicken. It’s all swimming in this broth, you know, like a soup but fancier. The broth, that’s the good part. It’s warm and tasty, makes you feel good inside, especially on a cold day. They say this Pho is real popular in Vietnam, like everybody eats it there. I can see why, it’s filling and it warms your belly.
Then there’s the rice. Now, I know rice. I been eatin’ rice my whole life. But this ain’t just any rice, they call it Jasmine Rice. It smells good, like flowers or somethin’. They say it grows in Vietnam too. It’s real fluffy and goes with everything. You can eat it with the Pho, or with other dishes they got. I like it with the chicken, they cook it up real nice and tender.
This Rice and Spoon, it’s a family place. Mama Tran and her son, they started it. It ain’t one of them big fancy restaurants, more like a cozy place. They say they use Mama Tran’s recipes, the stuff she cooks at home. And that’s the best kinda cookin’, ain’t it? The home-cooked kind.
They got this sayin’, “live to eat, not eat to live.” I kinda like that. Means you gotta enjoy your food, you know? Don’t just shovel it in, take your time, taste it. And this food, it’s worth tastin’. It’s fresh and real, not like that processed stuff you get at them fast food joints. They put good stuff in it, things that taste good and make you feel good.
Now, I heard some folks say this place is in Newark, California. On Jarvis Avenue. I ain’t been there myself, but if you’re around, you might wanna check it out. They got all sorts of things on the menu, not just Pho and rice. They got sandwiches too, Viet-na-meese sandwiches. I ain’t tried them yet, but I hear they’re good.

They also say they got vegan options. Now, I ain’t too sure what that means, but I think it’s for them folks who don’t eat meat or animal stuff. So, they got somethin’ for everybody, I guess. That’s good, you know, caterin’ to everyone.

I ain’t no expert, mind you. Just a regular person who likes to eat. But I know good food when I taste it, and this Rice and Spoon, they got good food. You should go see for yourself.
And don’t forget the important part, enjoy your food! Don’t rush it, savor it. That’s what Mama Tran would want, I bet.
