I came here just as they were opening on the Saturday morning after St. Patrick's Day. Having partied a bit too hard the previous night, I felt the only cure was a good bowl of pho. I ventured away from my usual go-tos and decided on Van Son after a quick search on Yelp.
I had my usual pho tai in regular size, while my hubby had their ultimate vermicelli bowl. My sister also had pho tai but in large size. The broth was flavorful but not hot enough. I also felt the quality of the beef was not top notch, but at least they gave plenty of it.
I was impressed with the attentiveness of the service and the speed. I didn't finish my pho but my sister was satisfied with her large bowl.
I'm glad to say I left restaurant feeling less regretful of my life's decisions. I would definitely try Van Son another time but maybe with a more sober mind.
