| - This is the second time I've been here already this year. The first time was to redeem a Groupon on the day it expired and then again because it is close enough to walk to with Hubby and his two brothers visiting. The interior is very modern and clean.
Each time Hubby had the #15 House PHOnomenal. Brother-in-law #1 had the #7 Korean beef short rib rice plate. He ate it very quickly and enjoyed the ribs immensely, but there were no veggies other than the pickled cucumbers and carrots in the fish sauce that was brought with the entree. I thought it the portion was a bit skimpy for the price. Brother-in-law #2 also had the #15 Pho to which he added the entire plate of bean sprouts, basil and lemon slices, and a dollop of hoisin sauce - no jalapenos though since he doesn't like spicy. Hubby declined the hoisin sauce and the jalapenos, but added everything else. He also gave me the tendons from the soup since he doesn't like the chewy, yummy delicacy.
On the first visit, I had the #25 Bun with charbroiled pork (very tender), shredded pork skin and julienne pork. This rice vermicelli dish was delish, but the shredded pork skin and julienne pork didn't really enhance it. So, on the second visit I ordered the #27 Bun with charbroiled pork (again, very tender) and seasoned tiger shrimp. This was a much better combination.
The Pho and Bun were very large portions. Neither Hubby or BIL#2 could finish the broth, altho that was the best part, I think. I on the other hand had no problems leaving my Bun bowl clean! Adding the fish sauce and pickled condiments to the Bun was essential and enhanced the noodles. I also added the chili paste condiment that was provided at the table.
It's nice having the option of using regular size chopsticks or disposable ones and having the soup spoons and napkins, hoisin sauce and chili paste available at the tables without waiting for the servers. I do get a bit uncomfortable and try not to think if maybe a previous patron has touched or sneezed on them. All that aside, we enjoyed our meals. Yikes...what a way to end my review. Oh, one more thing, service here is slow after your food is delivered. You may not get to see the waiter again without getting their attention. The server we had on the second visit was a gal who was very nice. The server during the first visit was a guy who was not very friendly.
