Because of the wonderful reviews this place received, I decided to stop in and try Pho for the first time. The gentleman who seated my fiance and I was prompt and attentive (for the first part of our visit). I could not make up my mind so I asked the server for a recommendation. He suggested the #1.
It was a variety of meats in a wonderfully flavored beef broth that was very well seasoned. After a few bites, I bit down on something rather unpleasant...I believe it was tripe. I would have never thought that tripe was an ingredient (otherwise I would have specified it be omitted). I quickly take my spoon and fish for as much of the stuff as I can find in my bowl...ick. I LOVE most foods, but just the thought disgusts me. Overall, I expect to come back again and attempt this PHO thing once more. Perhaps make an educated order rather than relying on the gentleman to choose for me.
As for the restaurant, it is in Le Le's market...and once the burn of fish odor cools in your nose, its smooth sailing. The diner was low key and not fancy at all, which I don't mind in the least bit. I give this place 3.5 stars based on service, food and overall restaurant experience.
