Welcome
Huong Tra (Richmond) Seedy San Pablo Avenue hides its treasures well behind
dim storefronts, but East Bay epicures have sniffed out Huong Tra's
Vietnamese delicacies like a pack of truffle hunters. Everything
comes in eye-popping quantities and adorned with herbs and crisp
veggies. Among stalwart standards such as eight kinds of pho are
delightful surprises, including shrimp on sugarcane and green
mussels in ginger sauce. An orange hued pancake packed full of
shrimp, bean sprouts, and basil is crunchy and soft, fried and fresh
all at once. Friendly waiters warn you when you're venturing into "traditional Vietnamese" territory; accept the dare.
