Vietnamese noodle soup

25 March, 2007: Visited the restaurant Thái Son, on 89 Baxter Street, and ordered two very typical Vietnamese dishes; Bò Vien Khong (Rice noodle soup with meat balls, made by beef) and Goi Cuón (Summer roll with shrimp, wrapped with rice paper). The latter was served with a delicious peanut sauce.
The spring rolls did have a feeling of "light" meal, which is understandable since Vietnam is located in tropical area. They tasted good, much thanks to the peanut sauce.
The soup was not bad at all, and had a touch of cinnamon. The rice noodles were perfect, and the meat balls very chewy (in a positive way). Adding lemon to the dish is very typical to Vietnamese food, but it actually made the soup tasting a little too much lemon.
Price: $10 for all
Food score: 7/10
Priceworthness: 6/10
