Truc Orient Express - West Stockbridge

We got the happy pancakes, lemongrass tofu, and spring rolls and loved all of it—the pancakes especially are a must-try. The owner was generous to fit us in on short notice. Highly recommended!

I feel like we went to a different restaurant than some of the other reviews. So be it. First, I'd like to acknowledge that I am not Vietnamese nor am I an expert in Vietnamese cuisine. However, I have eaten in some fantastic Vietnamese restaurants in other places where it is well known, such as Clarendon in northern Virginia and Orange County in California and the food at Truc's was unlike in those places. I fully grant that I am naive about the diversity in Vietnamese cuisine so the food at Truc's may reflect a different type or location, but just in case people are expecting things they've eaten elsewhere. For example, the Stir-Fry tofu with mixed vegetables was a large portion of what tasted like steamed vegetables with strips of tofu. We could not detect any flavor or seasonings, yet it cost 3 times what I would pay for the same thing at my local Chinese take-out in Pittsfield. The vegetarian spring rolls were basically fried very thick rolled dough. There were a few tiny shreds of cabbage and carrot in them and I found them inedible (although one of my dinner companions who will eat anything did eat them). The Happy Pancake (with chicken) was a large saucer size fried dough sitting on top of chicken, although the sauce made it better. We did not think that the prices reflected the quality of the food. I wish I could have given a more positive review but we would not return. There is a shop with Vietnamese clothing, jewelry and accessories so you can shop while you wait for your food, and note there is currently only outdoor seating.

Update: I originally left this review to express my disliking to how the owners treat other businesses in this town. Since posting, the owners have since found my personal portfolio website, and threatened me via an email submission. They are absolutely unprofessional, and have harassed me over a simple Google review. This lends more evidence to how awful they are as people, and I can only hope their business doesn 't last much longer. I have nothing to hide, and happily post the message here: Perhaps you shouldn’t walk your dog and husband by peoples homes and give them the finger and give fake google reviews. I wonder if your web developing business is on there. Maybe I will take a gander This is a clear threat to my career, and not taken lightly. And frankly, this only solidifies my original review and opinion. Original review: Horrible owners.

It is very diffucult to go food. you have to call well in advance. we tried several times in summer without luck.

My family has recently gathered to be together on a summer evening. the owners knew my parents and gave us a great treatment. we are in the age of 4 years to.
