Editorial Datebook Review: A Dong

An order of Lemongrass Beef. (Arturo Fernandez/The Register)
The ambiance at A Dong features a down-home, no-frills atmosphere. The quiet backdrop, wood paneling and tables for four make A Dong an easy, relaxing place to unwind with friends after work. The close proximity to downtown makes it a fast stop on the way home.
