Reviews
It is a small Vietnamese restaurant, sitting low profile in the neighbourhood of Capstan. There are plenty parking lots outside.
I ordered the fish cake noodle soup which is chef recommended. It took a while to cook. The fish cakes were unlike those in other Vietnamese restaurant, they are soft. The soup tasted soothing and without too much flavours. It is good as an everyday noodle soup. The owner is very nice and welcoming. I will be back again.
But the place is more for take out rather than dine in.. We also order the spring rolls and came after we finished eating our Pho, that is a minus point.
– its Bun Bo Hue was the spiciest BBH I’ve ever eaten and the beef really melted in my mouth. However, its beef had no meat flavor.
– Wife’s not too happy with her P1 Pho. She said her soup was too mild, the tendons were chewy, and the beef was tasteless.
– because it’s a tiny restaurant, I was expecting its prices to be cheaper. Guess not, its prices were anything but tiny. $16.99 for a Bun Bo Hue and $14.50 for a Small Beef Pho. Sounds pretty standard but:
>> it’s BBH is actually 11% more expensive than Thai Son, just 10 minutes walk from here. Or 24% more on a Tuesday (10% off every Tuesday at Thai Son). Thai Son’s Beef Pho cost $13.25 for a Small and $14.25 for a Large or $11.93 and $12.82 respectively on 10% off Tuesdays.
>> Pho 37, just 5 minutes walk from here, its BBH is $17.50 or $15.75 on Mondays (10% off every Monday)
So, there’s really not much incentive eating here, at least not the price. Taste-wise, not a whole lot either.
PS. It’s closed every Monday. In fact, all restaurants within this plaza, with the exception of the Chinese cafe, are closed every Monday.
PSS. At least it takes credit cards
This is my third time trying this restaurant. It’s still OK but I find the quality has changed drastically within the few months I visited. Today’s broth was not hot at all. I asked for extra hot soup but still not enough to cook the beef even after I finished my bowl. The service is still good but I think I’ll have to try elsewhere next time.
*original review:
Really good bun bo hue!! The beef was soft and the broth was red and tasty. Other places have diluted taste. I liked the extra red onion and quality of meat is higher than other places. Ask for some jalapenos to increase the spice 😉
