| - It's funny that the place should be called a pho house, when the pho was so mediocre lol. The broth doesn't have that concentrated, dark beef and star anise flavor to it, and there is no rare beef in the dac biet (which is supposed to be the supersize, everything's in it pho bowl). The beef itself was also below average - the cut was fatty with a weak taste. The tendon was too mushy. Stay away from the beef pho - there has to be better ones around.
The laksa was pretty good though - tasty curry-like broth with noodles that weren't too spicy, Vietnamese sausage and shrimp. I wish they would add some veggies in there, like carrots or broccoli, though, to balance out such a meat heavy dish.
Hainanese chicken - between an eh and a meh. The chicken hardly had any meat to it - mostly bone and skin. Plus, it was all dark meat. Not my style.
Service was really attentive though. Our female server was super nice - asked us about the size we wanted, how we wanted it, and circled back to ask us about the food. Definitely out of the ordinary for a predominantly Chinese restaurant (read: brusque, rude, don't really care attitude) area. She even refilled our bean sprouts for free. A+ for her. Wish I could say I'd come back because of her, but the food was so below/average that I'd say no thanks.
