They loved it and so did we. If you had told me I would enjoy a broth based soup, I would have disagreed. Was I ever wrong. The soup was delicious and loaded with flavor.
It seemed reasonably clean. Service was pleasant, and the prices were great for what we got.
Will return.
My wife and I shared the spring rolls and I got a bowl of pho with all meats and she got the Drunken Noodles. To start, the spring rolls were okay and were a good size but there was hardly any meat in the filling. Mostly tasted like greens and noodles. The shrimps were small and there were only slivers of beef inside. It came with peanut sauce which was nice but they give a lot and most of it went to waste. On the upside, we got them almost immediately after we ordered them and they were only $4.
My wife’s drunken noodles were my favorite out of everything we’ve tried. Really tasty and had a flavorful sauce that had us wanting more. It had baby bok choy, peppers, onions, chicken and wide, tender rice noodles. The portion was generous and I ended up taking the leftovers home and eating it over rice haha
The pho that I had was good but it wasn’t my favorite. The broth had the beef flavor I was looking for but it was just a bit too sweet for my taste. When it comes to pho, in my opinion, the broth is the star of the show, and since it’s a beef noodle soup, the flavor of beef should be rich throughout and shouldn’t be masked by things such as sugar to try and make it taste better. Spices are fine and salt is fine but sugar is best in dessert mostly. The noodles were cooked well and plenty of meat with it and it comes with bean sprouts, lime wedges, jalapenos and they basil on the side to add to your soup. I appreciate the price point of the bowl as a large was only $9 which is pretty dang good. They also don’t charge extra for the meats which I like as well.
I had a iced Thai tea here and it was delicious and made how it should be. The atmosphere is a little awkward because of the size and they didn’t have any music playing so it was quiet but it was clean and organized.
Overall, this place is good and has good things going for it but when it comes to our search for the best pho is in America, this place just missed the mark. Taste is subjective and everyone likes their Pho a bit differently but it wasn’t our favorite.
