I have yet to try the kind of spring rolls one wraps oneself. They are
on the menu, but the descriptions are rather spartan, for example "bun
thit nuong, rau thom", translated as rice noodles with grilled pork and
herbs. So far, I've tried only salad rolls, served cold. They
contained some green vegetables and a few small prawns, wrapped in
transparent rice paper. They were very bland, even with the dipping
sauce and I didn't like them much.

Do try the pork, Vietnamese grilled pork is wonderful. If anything is bland
to you most Vietnamese resturants have chili oil, and chili garlic sauce as
table side condiments here in the states the few I've been in that didn't
always brought out if asked.
