Service sort of do it yourself attitude. Non friendly.
Atmosphere clean environment
As someone who’s of Vietnamese descent and lives in Southern California (home to the most Vietnamese outside of Vietnam), I have had some of the best pho in North America. I knew going in that having pho anywhere else would probably be disappointing, but I always hope for a pleasant surprise.
The Food:
I can only comment on what I ordered: pho dac biet (special combo pho with rare steak slices, well-done brisket, flank tendon, and and tripe). Taste wise it was … alright. The noodles were standard, the meats were good, and the tendon was delicious. The problem was that the broth was kinda bland, lacking the delicate mix of herbs and seasonings that a good bowl of pho should have. And anyone who enjoys noodle soups knows that if the broth doesn’t cut it, the whole meal suffers. Don’t get me wrong, the other pho ingredients were quality, but the bland broth was a let down.
The Cost:
The bigger letdown were the prices, which had me saying, “What the pho?!” My combo bowl was $27. That would be an outrageous price for pho in Southern California (where prices have skyrocketed), so you could imagine my “sticker shock.” And the costs for the other entrees ranged from $14 to $20. While the portions were large, I’m not sure the quality justified the price.
The Drink:
I had a caphe sua da (or Vietnamese iced coffee) and was, again, not impressed. It tasted like it came from either a concentrate or instant coffee instead of being made in a phin, a type of slow-drip metal filter, before the condensed milk was added. Again, not a bad coffee, but the price didn’t justify the average taste.
The Service:
The two employees were fast and friendly. They didn’t check on us at all after delivering the food (standard operating procedure for most Asian restaurants), but the fact that they were polite and seemed like they cared is a big plus for a Vietnamese establishment.
The Atmosphere:
The restaurant was clean, spacious, and modern. Meanwhile, the bathroom was shockingly decent and well stocked. Again, two aspects that were a pleasant surprise for a Vietnamese restaurant.
The Conclusion:
If you’re new to pho and want to be impressed, don’t go here. If you’re familiar with pho, need a quick fix, and don’t mind paying a premium, this place will do.
Ordered the lemongrass stir fried chicken with steamed rice and it was incredible, I wish the sauce had a little less chili flakes, to cut the spice level a little bit. But dish was still very flavorful.
