| - If you're looking for some great Pho, this is definitely a place to check out. It's located right dab in a Vietnamese shopping center, how can you really go wrong?
I ordered the Viet iced tea with cream which was a lot less sweet than the Thai teas I'm used to, it was surprising but still very delicious. The appetizer ordered was the Summer Rolls which house a large hunk of spicy sausage in it, the sauce to dip it in was really sweet and didn't cling to the roll well, I think I'd rather have had hoisin sauce with it.
I ordered the white meat combo noodle soup bowl. This consisted of a couple of pieces of imitation crab, fish cake balls, shrimp, pork slices and calamari. Each was quite good in its own right except the imitation crap which had started to flake and come apart in the hot broth. The broth by the way was fabulous, didn't overpower the meats but added enough flavor to them, much like a fondue broth, while still more than delicious enough to slurp the rest of the way through once all the solid bits were gone.
The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is even after showing we've been around the block with Vietnamese food we were constantly being given instructions on what was good and what newcomers to Vietnamese cuisine should try. I mean once is good service, but after the customer replies that they've had it before don't continue to treat them like newbie white devils...some of us are a little more travelled than others, thanks.
