| - This pho restaurant actually looks like a boutique, what with it's minimalist white theme and wrought iron flowers to decorate.
All but 1 table was occupied when we sat down in the front window-table, which was hot because there weren't any shades or curtains to block out the sun. We migrated to an open table when one became available.
Most customers seemed to be having pho, so I ordered the pho tai. The food arrived, and this was when I got confused. For some reason, this place was bustling - why, when the pho was so bland? Broth - bland and lukewarm. Noodles - a little soggy. Steak - lacking in abundance! Priced - over. Bleh.
Amongst our party, the rice plates didn't seem impressive, either. I guess you can't really mess up rice, but the chicken was apparently dry, too.
There were 3 servers, but none came by often enough until the dining room started clearing out. We had to flag them down.
Overall, I think this place focuses more on their "hip" image than they do on the menu. if you ask me, the food should be first priority. I'd rather sit in a hole-in-the-wall and have bombass pho than this froufrou dining room where the decor is the highlight of the joint.
