Cyclo has nearly everything working against it: Vietnamese is one of the most overlooked of ethnic cuisines; its Chandler strip mall location is easily missed; service has been described as, shall we say, leisurely. But something about this artsy little eatery keeps it packed from opening to closing, and we'll venture to say that something is charismatic owner Justina Duong. When not playing around with her constantly evolving menu between lunch and dinner, this young firecracker is hostessing, taking orders or pulling up a chair to tables so she can chat with customers. Duong's local fan base has grown over the years, as her weekly visits to competing restaurants have taught her what works and what doesn't. What works: creative fare loaded with interesting flavors and spices; fresh ingredients, with every last papaya grated to-order; and competitive pricing, by which we mean inexpensive. An interesting selection of specialty teas, coffees and sodas are available. BYOB. Serving lunch and dinner Tue–Sat. Closed Sun–Mon. Voted Best Vietnamese Restaurant in the 2009 Arizona Republic critics' poll and 2009 New Times readers' poll.
