So who's review do you trust for your favourite Vietnamese pho place? Everyone has their favourite for one reason or another.
For me this one ranks as a very good one based on their pho. We haven't been here for a few years as we it wasn't particularly memorable at that time despite all of their great reviews. So we gave it another chance and this time they impressed. The pho was nicely flavoured, bean sprouts fresh and they give jalapeƱo if you care for it. The noodles are cooked al dente and seem more slippery (due to a bit of fat in the soup?) as my son noticed but they were fine. Beef was of higher than average quality and the beef flank actually had a beefy taste. I think this is partially due to the thicker cut but also it had the nice chewy fatty gristle attached to it.
The grilled squid appetizer was nicely done also.
Will try the rice dishes next time to see if this is a one trick Vietnamese place or whether they can mix things up.
Service was typical noodle efficiency and friendliness.
