pho was just okay to me. not bad, but not outstanding. i've had better and even had the option to choose a larger size at viet-thai (close to pineville). my husband got a different noodle dish, and he was only slightly enthused by it. we also ordered a honeydew boba, and i was happy with the taste of the drink but not the texture of the boba pearls. they were super over-cooked and way too soft. i had to stir the drink a bunch to allow the drink to cool the pearls off, so they would harden up enough to be less of a gross texture. service was good, so that was good for them. don't get me wrong. food was palatable and all that. just not the best i've had.
overall, i don't think i will go back here knowing that i can get better somewhere else. sorry saigon palace...
