Pho 7 & DingTea Nampa

I ordered the large Pho Dac Biet to go and was not disappointed. The large size was just a buck more than the regular size and I got 3 meals out of it. This isn't the best Pho I've had in my life, but it's really darn good and I'm definitely coming back. I've already recommended it to friends and family. Lastly, the location is convenient and they have plenty of parking.

I have to be honest, I’m no Pho expert. I’ve eaten it half a dozen times at half a dozen different locations. What I do know is this place has good service, big portions and I enjoyed the meal. I tend to judge these places by the freshness of the sprouts, peppers and herbs served along side the Pho to add at your own pace and there’s was very fresh. A friend tried the fried rice and said it was the best he’d ever had and he seemed to to be familiar enough to make that statement. If you haven’t tried Pho give it a shot, if you have try it here.

Honestly it wasn't as good as I expected. I'm not saying it's bad.
I don't remember what my dish was called, It had chicken and noodles and vegetables. That was pretty amazing in itself with the exception, At first I actually thought I had broken a tooth. There was something, that only a person that has broken a tooth would know, Crunching between my teeth. After checking on my teeth to make sure they were intact, I realized it was something in my food. It was not a one time thing. This was an almost every bite. The dish itself was delicious.
The appetizers were okay. There were not many to choose from.
The crab rangoons. These were exceptional.
The PHO noodle soup. That was extremely strange to me. It was oddly sweet and tasted almost like it had nutmeg in it. Which in and of itself is not a problem, Some people use that for a nutty flavor. It was just an obvious spice. I am not saying that it was absolutely nutmeg, just tasted like it.
Our server was friendly.

I love Vietnamese food. First time trying Pho a little disappointed not very tasty kind of plain. Cha Gio was good but small. A little on the expensive side for a bowl of soup. The waitress seemed very shy and we had to keep calling her over.

It was hard deciding between a 3 and 4 star there’s a lot going on with our visit so I had to think about it for a day so the place seem clean. There were 3 workers serving, and I saw a couple gentleman come out that must’ve been the cooks. Our waitress said she was brand new, and she did come to our table right away and ask our drinks, and then another seasoned young waitress came over and took our order and was very nice. My Hub got the beef fried and I got pork With rice noodles. Apparently served COLD. It wasn’t very good. It was for sure not like the photo. She did offer to heat it and did. It had very little veggies. About 2 teaspoons. The egg rolls appetizer were pretty good. They do have a hundred drink options but that’s not why we came. Anyway sweet waitress. Not that thrilled with the food but they seem to be popular. Maybe it was an off day and I might try again.
