| - Having never delved into the fabulous world of pho before, and finding myself a bit under the weather, I was instructed by a friend (who I now consider very wise) to head over to Saigon Pho and grab some pho. Since my initial visit, Saigon Pho has introduced me to the brothy wonders of Vietnamese soup. I regularly call in to order for pick up, and it's always ready within 15-20 minutes. The broth and meat of choice (to go) comes in a huge styrofoam (Argh! But what can you do?) cup and all of the fixins - basil, sprouts, rice noodles, lime, sauces, jalepeƱos - come in a separate box so you can mix to your liking.
Basically, if you're having a low-key movie night at home and don't want to cook, but don't want to stuff your face with fatty foods, you'll want to order something from here (I recommend the chicken or beef pho) on your way home. And don't forget the spring rolls...they are unique in flavor and texture despite being made with the standard ingredients. I'm not sure what it is, but it almost tastes like they brush the wrapper with almond extract, really delicious!
While I'm still exploring my pho options, this place is so conveniently close to my house, I won't feel bad using it as a fall back if I ever find somewhere better.
