3am. It's late, and you've stumbled into Chinatown. If you can't make it a block further north, this is probably the ONLY time you should come here.
Just to give it a fair shot, I came here a few weeks ago on a regular Thursday night. I felt bad because a buddy had passionately defended the place so much the night before.
Pho was mediocre at best. I ordered the Dac Biet Special. Too much noodle to broth ratio, and the meat was fatty. I actually didn't even finish the bowl!
Also ordered some spring rolls. They were decent, but still very greasy. I do like the fact that they use taro in the filling. Still, I would say these were average, but for the price?! $9.00 is extortion!
True to my original conclusion, you have to be half in the bag to make it through the meal. It's still okay to turn back, you've probably made enough bad decisions for one night!
