Great Pho at Great Prices
Located at the corner of a strip mall so it's easy to miss, the restaurant definitely meets the asian hole in the wall category with the normal inattentive service (pretty much the only reason it didn't get a 5). It's fairly large on the inside, with plenty of room between the tables. There is a dessert fridge to keep an eye out if you're a fan of vietnamese desserts.
The menu is very straightforward - a few different appetizers, some rice plates, and Pho. Definitely not something full of variety, but hey - you're here for the Pho anyways. Every bowl comes with the standard accouterments (Bean sprouts, jalapenos, lime, and thai basil leaves). Even better, stop by the fridge and pick up the pickled jalapenos - they're amazing and unbelievably spicy.
I got a large pho with the well-done flank, brisket, and one other meat. Definitely worth the price ($7.50), this is a heaping bowl full of broth, noodles, and meat. The broth was very flavorful (almost too sweet) but still something you can drink endlessly if wanted.
Also got the fresh spring rolls - they're decent, nothing amazing but still a good starter. Though maybe hold off if you're eating a large pho.
Got a red bean dessert as well, this was served with ice and was very delicious. A great end to the meal.
Friend got an avocado smoothie, they also really enjoyed it.
Too much msg in my hu tieu. The service was not great.
Good amount of meat and noodles in the pho! The flavor is great!!
This is the place to go to, if you want great vietnamese food. Great friendly service.
Absolutely delicious. Kind staff and quick service.
