Pho Pasteur has competition in Chinatown for title of "Best Pho-cking Pho"!
Saigon Palace is a complete dive. It is dirty (don't even venture into the bathrooms...you've been warned), unapologetically Vietnamese, and dirt cheap. It's everything I've ever wanted in a pho joint.
The goods on the pho:
- Fresh noodles (brap brap!)
- Broth is clear, yet flavorful. Not as potent as a Vietnam Noodle Star, but not as bland as a Rua Vang.
- Portion size is perfect with an excellent broth:noodle:meat ratio
- Probably the best tendon in town! Melty goodness.
- $6 will do you good
Overall, I have to give this place 4.5 stars (rounded up to 5). I rounded up because it received my prestigious "White People Don't Eat Here" seal of approval!
