| - Decided to stop by here on way to another Pho restaurant further from work.
First off, the lady working there was not too happy today I think. I wasn't there for customer service or pampering, but a little courtesy could have gotten them another star maybe.
This is one of those dishes I find hard to really mess up, so I always order spring rolls also. The peanut sauce came out with the rolls and looked like peanut butter mixed with water and oil. I tried a little bit on my spoon and opted to just stick with Sriracha. Even with a healthy dip in spicy Sriracha, the chewy and fishy shrimp was still unpleasant, and the pork was a little funky.
I ordered pho with round steak, flank steak, brisket, and tendon. I usually love tendon. This tasted more like rubber. I'm no culinary expert, but I think they needed to simmer the tendon about another 8 hours. I could barely chew the 2 pieces I forced down. The broth was nice and the noodles were fine, once I dissolved the brick they were formed into.
Overall, I was satisfied with my pho at the end, but wish I'd made the extra mile drive to where I was originally headed.
