        <content>I've recently moved to Beijing and want to take a colleague who has never had Vietnamese food out to dinner.  I've found lists of Vietnamese restaurants online, but it's hard to tell which ones are best and most authentic.  The only one I've been to is Va Va Voom in Sanlitun, which was passable but nothing spectacular.  Thanks!!  </content>

      <content>There is not much in the way of good Vietnamese in Beijing.  Muse has its fans (and they have a new location in Sanlitun), and there is Nuage in Houhai, but I don't think either of them is as good as what you can find in the DC metro area (not to mention Vietnam).</content>
