Vietnamese food on the Westside? It's not that uncommon, but we are always pleased to see more of it.
On Monday night, Vien Cafe opened on Pico Boulevard just east of La Cienega. The small, friendly cafe offers pho (both beef and chicken), half a dozen varieties of banh mi (including classic charcuterie, soy chicken and sardine), spring rolls, banh xeo (crepes), several variations on bun (cold rice noodles) and a good array of vegetarian options.
