University City Dining Days — that delicious, one-week event where prix fixe meals are $15, $25 or $30 — is just three days away.

So far, we’ve taken a look at Pod and Distrito; now, we’re heading over to the dining room at Vietnam Café (offering the 3-for-$15 option), where inexpensive plates and a BYOB policy have made diners very full and very happy.

An off-shoot of Chinatown’s  immensely popular Vietnam, Vietnam Café offers a generous menu of vermicelli, pho and rice platters. As I’ve discovered, it’s easy for your eyes to be bigger than your stomach here; knowing that “Crispy Veggie Spring Rolls Served Over Rice Vermicelli Noodles with Crushed Peanuts” will taste as good as it sounds, it’s hard to hold back.

Luckily, Vietnam Café’s Dining Days menu chauffeurs your appetite into three courses (appetizer, entrée dessert). All told, you have a whopping 31 options. Good luck choosing. And don’t forget to bring a bottle of white.
