Trams Kitchen

Located just a few blocks from my house is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. For weeks I have been nagging my roommate to go with me. Pho is one of my favorite types of soups. Its nourishing to the heart and soul. While I am sure Pho isn't entirely vegetarian I devour it anyways. If you didn't know about Trams Kitchen you would probably miss it, in fact I did the first few weeks I lived in the area. Julia and I finally ventured to Trams on a cold October night and were pleasantly delighted with everything we ate. Trams offers a few vegetarian options for Pho and spring rolls. The tofu spring rolls may be my favorite in the city. There are only a few tables and only one or two waiters. One of which I think owns the restaurant. While the atmosphere is rustic and rushed the food tastes carefully crafted. Trams Kitchen should definitely be on every Pittsburghers list. Little secret, I've heard that if you tell the owner you're sick he will whip up a special soup known to cure any illness.
