There are also padded booth-style seats along one wall. The tables and chairs can be moved as required.<\/li>\n<li>There are two single-room bathrooms and one of them is designated as wheelchair accessible.<\/li>\n<li>The staff is really friendly here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From the outside the place is really unassuming but it&#8217;s bright and cheery inside.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-627 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/VietnamVillage1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"473\" height=\"631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/VietnamVillage1.jpeg 473w, https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/VietnamVillage1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Previously, I&#8217;ve ordered bahn mi from this place and took it to go. For those of you who live where really excellent banh mi is readily available (Vancouver, for example) will probably not be thrilled by the bahn mi here. It\u2019s good, but it\u2019s certainly not the best I\u2019ve had. Kelowna is very limited in its bahn mi offerings.<\/p>\n<p>That said, on this visit I ordered a pot of tea and their chicken coleslaw salad. It was absolutely bang-on! I will definitely be going back for this again and again. It\u2019s shredded cabbage, carrots, and chicken with basil, mint, cilantro, fried onion, and peanuts in a sweet rice wine vinegar dressing. It was really crisp and fresh and the flavours were a wonderful combination. If you don\u2019t like cilantro, or you have an allergy to peanuts, or you want them to leave any other ingredient out then they are happy to do so.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-628 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/VietnamVillage2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"473\" height=\"631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/VietnamVillage2.jpeg 473w, https:\/\/goalicego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/VietnamVillage2-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They also offer a number of vegetarian items and seem eager to do their best to cater to the needs of their customers.
