I have recently traveled to VN.  Came to Anise and was very impress.   Wonderful atmosphere, great food, good service.   If you want authenthic Vietnamese cuisine but are hesitate to eat at a Mom & Pop Vietnamese restaurant ...then Anise is a place to go.   You get the taste, the ambiance, the service and reasonable pricing.  I had Hanoi Catfish in VN...remember the fragrance: Turmeric, Dill and wow! the sauce....it definitely hit the spot.  I would definitely reccommend Anise to everyone!  The owner make you feel so warm...you feel like you are coming home!
Pros:  Great Food, Service, Pricing
Cons:  need 1 hr +, Family Style Dining
