| - A pre theatre dinner fix just before going to @lotheatre for a show, we came here partly because Golden Turtle was closed and it got higher reviews.
The verdict seems mixed, but I think its a solid 3 or 4 stars. The pho is a bit more expensive than other chinatown places, but we're talking $1 or 2.
The decor is nothing, but with lots of people inside, it cozy.
The pho broth was less MSG-y and seemed to taste fresher. The noodle to beef ratio was good and in the Special bowl you get a combo of rare beef, brisket, tripe and tendon.
The hubby opted for non-pho, which I dont think we'll recommened. The beef lemon grass on rice looked like bulgolgi and something we could have made at home He complained it wasnt filling enough.
We also got the deep fried spring rolls, good, but not as expected. It basically thin, no filling, oily and crunchy. there are 4. If you like that, get it.
Our meal was $20 for two, so cannot complain that much. I was cold with the door opening and closing. Long line up around 730pm
