Blade review: Amango is an unpretentious restaurant that reminds of us the joys of Vietnamese food. Open again after being closed several months for remodeling, the eatery specializes in delicious pan Asian cuisine ranging from such standard dishes as beef broth pho and bahn mi sandwiches, to sumptuous noodle bowls dressed with a delectable fish sauce. Vietnamense cuisine lacks the denseness of Korean food and eschews the glazes of Chinese. It's lighter than its brethren, but no less satisfying.
