Look beyond a Domino's Pizza, a nail salon and a tobacco shop to find the Long Beach Cafe. Exceptionally effervescent, well-paced and efficient service pairs well with polished touches - lime wedges in the water, table linens embossed with the restaurant's logo, and imported beer served in frosty mugs. The five-page menu provides a vast tour of Vietnamese and Thai eating, with accents from Malaysia, China and Korea. Vibrant red walls energize the room, and snapshots of owner Long Le tell the story behind the name of Long Beach Cafe - the restaurant is a combination of his first name and his nick name of "Beach Boy" when he was growing up in a beach town in Vietnam.
