5 Elements
If you have never had Vietnamese food, you should give it a
try. And here is a great place to do so, 5 elements, located in Tarzana in the
Capri shopping center on Ventura Blvd.
Although they have many dishes to choose from on their menu,
I really like the Vermicelli bowl with shrimp and pork. The Vermicelli bowl
consists of soft rice noodles, shredded leaf lettuce, bean sprouts, carrots and
cucumbers. If you are gluten free of watching your calorie intake this bowl is
great for you. It is fresh, low calorie and packed with flavor.
5 elements had a surprising twist to the Nuroc Cham sauce
that accompanies this fantastic fresh bowl. The twist you ask, just the right
amount of spicy heat. Most of the places I visit for this dish, I have to add the spice to it,
but this was prepared that way. I was a nice switch to one of my favorite Vietnamese
dishes. I want to talk about the shrimp and pork for just a second. The pork was
very tender and juicy with a nice smoke flavor. The shrimp had the taste of
being freshly grill, with a charred, caramelized side.
They have seating outside and the interior was very modern.
They also serve adult beverages.
This dish was really refreshing, I think I will go back and
try some of their other dishes.
