| - Tried Pho for the first time here. Excellent stuff. It forced me to expand my taste palate a bit, as I don't usually have cinammon, star anise, etc., with beef, but it was very enjoyable. Would love to have more jalepeno in the dish, but again, I think that's my palate trying to drag the flavor into something else. Huge bowl of beef broth with meats and huge plate of mung bean sprouts, jalepenos, lime wedges, cilantro- excellent additions to the soup. Of course I also grabbed my first Boba tea there, excellent. The owner was super kind, had great suggestions, and is continually playing to hone his menu. We'll have to go back to explore more yumminess.
On The Wings:
In talking to the owner, he ran down a good portion of his menu for us, and explained what he feels is good and others buy frequently. In this discussion he mentioned the wings! Guys- the reason it smells funny, as with all Vietnamese cuisine, is that fish-sauce is used instead of salt. So... those chicken wings? A special fish-sauce dressing! If you weren't expecting the smell of fish, there's your issue right there. That has got to be the issue with the other comments about the wings.
We'll be back, and thanks to all the Yelper's comments on this place! Excellent owner, clean, and enjoyable food!
