Viet-Thai Lowell

I used to go to Viet-Thai Restaurant in Lowell for their excellent lunch buffet and never looked at the menu. I got reminded about the place a couple days ago and remembered the excellent wings.

On-street metered parking, except on Sundays and free after six.

The front room.

I took a table in the back room. Properly distanced tables. Lunch buffet can be seen packed up in the back. When will we see a buffet again? I suspect it will be a long long time.

Appetizer Fried Wings (8 pieces $9.50). The online menu prices are NOT up to date. The wings were super crispy. Not just crispy but extremely crispy. They were cooked well and were still juicy. Crispy wings heat up nicely in an air-fryer.

This is the #80 Thai Fried Rice with Duck ($10.50). This was a well executed dish with a surprisingly amount of sliced tender duck breast. Even the carrots were cooked nicely. It could have done with some salt and white pepper. After adding salt it was much better. There was a container of chili oil on the table, so I drizzled it over the rice. Be aware, the chili oil is really hot. It was a big portion and really enjoyable.

Scan the QR code for their online menu. They also have a QR code for their Banh Mi menu. Unfortunately, it was not translated, but the prices looked good. The pickled jalapenos were very tasty. I don't think this setup follows Mass COVID guidelines. If you Google this place, one photo is clearly from some other restaurant.
