| - Hooray for Kinh Do, we have found our pho place in Vegas! I hate pho joints that smell. There are plenty of them in Vegas. Driving into Vegas on a late night, we needed some warm pho soup before heading into the hotel. Looking on Yelp we found this place, so decided to take a chance on it.
Walking in, pleasantly surprised to find a clean place in a busy strip mall without the unbearable odor around. Nice server lady takes our order promptly, and within minutes we get our pho noodles. I also order a Vietnamese hot coffee, expecting to get the typical drip cup. What I get near the end of my meal upon reminding the server (I think she forgot) is a warm coffee all mixed with milk and pre-dripped. A significant disappointment especially since the coffee was just okay.
Well, on to the pho. It comes with a decent amount of veggies (again, New Saigon in Johns Creek is overly generous in this regard), and a ton of noodles. After doing all the prep work (put in the veggies, sriracha, etc.), I bite into the noodle and the soup. Their soup has a peculiar taste that reminds me of the meat broth in Korean stews. The ones that broth of hours have a deep taste that ups the yummy factor. The soup in this place has that. It's possibly the best pho broth I've had. A big thumbs up for that.
One slight disappointment is that there is a bit too much noodle in comparison to the other stuff in the soup, so I ended up with a fair amount of noodles with nothing to accompany it. Either a bit less on the noodles or a tad more other stuff (or both) might balance it out a bit more. But I'm really nitpicking there. This is some good pho!
Table-for-1 Factor: As with most pho joints, it would feel completely appropriate to eat alone.
