Spring rolls – great! Has peanut sauce
Egg rolls – solid

I went there for an early bowl of Pho on a Saturday evening and got seated immediately. It’s a cozy street corner location with a clean table and chair setup. We have tried to dine here before but there was always a line to get in and at least a 15 minute wait time. The menu fits on one side of letter size paper and the beef selections featured only lean cuts.
I ordered the Brisket Pho which was brought to me promptly. The beef was indeed lean and plentiful. The broth and noodles were good, nothing special.
Service was great and I guess it’s popular for the lean beef selections with the wait times due to the limited seating. I prefer fattier cuts so I’ll repeat if Wifey insists. Free city lot parking is nearby and usually available.
The chicken was well-marinated and juicy and delicious, but the bread seemed thinner than expected, and the small amount of pickles weren’t as tangy as I’d anticipated. The sandwich was served with a side of ruffled potato chips.
The coffee was already mixed on arrival; I personally enjoy separate layers of condensed milk and coffee, and given the $7 price tag, I was expecting that.
So everything was ok – not bad, not amazing.
The iced coffee however isn’t what I’m used to where they bring a cup out with the sweetened condensed milk and the coffee still dripping. It looks like it was made in a big batch and poured into the glass and wasn’t sweet enough. It was hard getting their attention just to order so I didn’t bother trying to get them to fix it. Even getting the check was hard to flag them down.
Both pho’s we’re good though so we’ll definitely come back and try some of their other dishes.
Staff was friendly and Covid safe but that’s where the good ends.
The Pho Ga (chicken Pho) was cold and the chicken was dried out pieces of leathery cardboard. Not edible. The broth was as bland as it gets and not indicative of real Pho. Pretty lackluster.
The shrimp vermicelli: grilled shrimp was actually decent and the only edible part of my order. The noodles weren’t fully prepared and were clumped and didn’t come with enough sauce and what it came with was not fish sauce but a watery substitute.
Overall a disappointing experience especially given the price. They could use a better ingredients and a better chef.
Everything we had wasn’t bad, just very mild, it just didn’t have any of the usual fish sauce/smell.
Also missing were fresh herbs. Lemongrass pork and prawn vermicelli had zero lemongrass flavor/aroma, no mint leaves, the liquid sauce here was a mild sweet liquid. Mostly vermicelli and romaine, no sprouts, a few strips of watery mushy Daikon and carrots (normally they are pungent pickles). Pork banh mi had a very few of the mild carrot Daikon pickle but nothing else except mayo, no cilantro. So if you don’t like the pate, headcheese, fresh herbs, jalapeno, cucumber, and just want pork and bread, this is the place.
Pork was pretty oily, orange oil dripping like a folded NYC . Also the cut they used had a streak of fat, that ate crunchy, if that makes sense. (Obvi this isn’t the place to go for gourmet meat quality, I did break out in a rash from the pork. I am sensitive, when pork/chicken isn’t fresh, my body knows before my nose!)
Chopsticks were some of the best, they are pre-separated so less splinters.
During winter, come early, eat fast.
Seating inside is limited and cold, as front door is open.
