Feel drained of energy? Don't drink that energy drink, said Trung Do, co-owner of Megan's Noodle House.
Instead opt for a traditional Vietnamese soup to chase away the drain.
"It makes you feel much better," Do said.
The Vietnamese don't turn to medicine to cure their ailments, they treat them with herbs. The same herbs the restaurant uses in their Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine.
Do, who co-owns the restaurant with his family, said he opened it six weeks ago to please some area residents.
"A lot of people kept asking us to open a Vietnamese restaurant," he said. "There wasn't one on the Eastern Shore."
Vietnamese food is popular, Do said, because it is full of herbs, no preservatives and it uses less grease than other ethnic restaurants.
"It has such a unique taste to it," he said. "You just have to taste it."
The restaurant is named in honor of the family's newest member, 6-month-old Megan On.
Since the restaurant opened it's doors, Do said his customers really like the No. 5 -- Beef Eye Round Noodle Soup. It's the same recipe made across Vietnam, and the same soup former President Clinton ate on his visit there in the late 1990s.
"It's no secret," he said. "The Vietnamese people know. It's inside you."
The most popular soup is made of beef broth that has all natural herbs including ginseng, basil, cilantro and tree stock. The noodles are made of rice that is ground and cooked and made into noodles.
It is made fresh every day.
Since Vietnamese food is new to the area, Do said the family decided to add Chinese items to the menu.
"I didn't want a guest to get stuck," he said. "We wanted a second option."
Do's brother-in-law, Han On, has 25 years experience in the restaurant business, including being a chef for Chinese restaurants. Adding Chinese food to the menu was a natural fit. The restaurant also has daily specials that aren't included on the menu.
They've gotten a good response from the community, Do said. They offer their customers clean environment and good, quality food cooked in a clean kitchen by a professional.
