533 Viet Fusion
1775 E Palm Canyon Dr., #625, in Smoke Tree Village Shopping Center, (760) 778-6595.
I wasn’t expecting much from a shopping mall Vietnamese restaurant. Turns out I was in for a surprise. The spacious open dining room at 533 Viet Fusion offers plenty of comfortable seating on some midcentury-style orange and white chairs. A full bar produces drinks made delicious by a talented bartender, most notably a gorgeous pink Guava Mojito and a delicious mai tai-like Rum Rickshaw.
A great dinner can be composed from several shared dishes. A spring roll from the dedicated spring roll bar makes a perfect appetizer/salad course. Then choose a curry--the exceptionally yummy yellow curry has a deep and complex flavor--and perhaps also a sweet tamari-glazed salmon dish served with noodles. Dessert is easy because there is currently only one choice--coconut-lime crème brulee, which the management decided on because that is what everyone ordered when they previously offered a longer menu.
