PQH is underrated and definitely deserves more attention.
I was sad to walk into an empty restaurant at 8pm on a Sat but based on the reviews, I had to give it a try. We received excellent service....probably 5 star if you rate against Asian restaurants.
The spring rolls with shrimp and pork were fresh because the rice paper wasn't dry or hard. Many times, you'll get these at other places which means it was made before.
We ordered the Banh Xeo (crepe with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts) and although the crepe was nice and crisp, it was filled too much with bean sprouts. It would have been nice to have more shrimp and pork but the flavor was spot on. The pairing with the pickeled carrots and cucumbers in the lettuce wraps was the perfect combo.
Based on Tomoko's recommendation, we also ordered the Beef Satay with Thick Rice Noodles. This was super rich as the broth was really thick but was very flavorful.
I'd definiltey come back to try their pho, com (Rice dishes) and more.
I hope this place gets more business. I believe it's a hidden gem and many of the other Yelp reviewers agree. It's like finding the younger sister of Pho So 1.
