While I am not Vietnamese, I love pho and consider myself a pho connoisseur. It's both comfort food and a staple.
This was my first visit to Pho Lan after being badly disappointed at the other place I frequent in Las Vegas. We visit only once a year during CES, and so did not realize that Pho Saigon 8 had gone down the tubes. Checking out the Yelp reviews, we settled on Pho Lan, and the reviews were reliable as usual.
The place was large and clean. Service was excellent - friendly without being too obtrusive. The Pho broth was delicious - it is the lighter style but delicious and not salty at all. However, it could have been a bit hotter as it was not hot enough to cook the bean sprouts I had stuck in there. I ordered #7 which was the more expensive combination, but there seemed to be just a couple of strips of tripe and tendon. Far too little - even though these are the cheap bits (which I love best). There was barely enough meat to go with all the noodles.
Will be back next year...... and hopefully give them another star.
