| - On the way to a Softball game, I mistakenly biked west of the sushi place at which I planned to stop. Knowing Pho Linh was nearby, I parked my bike and stopped in, sweaty and parched.
I was greeted with an ice cold pot of tea, which was very welcome. It had been awhile since my last visit, and I don't know if this is a winter-hot/summer-cold thing, but I've never been somewhere that based their complimentary beverage offerings on the weather.
I perused the menu looking for a Pescetarian/Vegetarian friendly dish. I started sweating again when I realized there weren't any, save for an appetizer. As I started to plot my McQueenesque great escape to another restaurant, I glanced at the Vegetarian Tofu Pho paper on the wall. Phew!
The Pho was perfect. I was pretty skeptical about my order; Considering it was sweltering out and I was about to engage in athletic activity, soup was the last thing I had a hankering for. Against the odds, I sipped and slurped my way to pure satisfaction.
The broth was delicious - I generally douse my Pho with Sriracha, but there was no need for added spice. The "small" bowl I order was huge, packed with vermicelli and about 4-5 giant cubes of tofu.
If you're a vegetarian and looking for something other than soup, I would recommend somewhere else. If you're in the mood for Pho, I'd say this is definitely a bowl I'd savour again.
