| - I really have to update this. I believe from my first review that I was a bit too new to pho and hadn't experienced it all yet, but now as a pheteran, I know what's good and what's not.
This place is good. Despite learning of my very new and very severe msg allergy after eating here, I still have a very good opinion of the food here (even though there's a good chance I'll die if I eat it or any other pho again).
I ordered the #18, Beef Brisket Pho. And honestly it's on the same level as Golden Turtle, if not better (which might be due to the level of msg), but I think it was because the beef was better quality and cooked better. The noodles were steamed? I think. Either way there were cooked and moist. The broth was amazing. Just perfectly seasoned and delicious. I think possibly a bit more five-spice that made it tastier.
I ordered takeout as usual and they were friendly, speedy and efficient. Which is what I always love. So for my last bowl of pho ever, it was a great choice to end on.
The only reason it's a 4/5, is portion size. It's a bit small for the money. At Golden Turtle, I get at least 1/4 more meat. Other than that it's fantastic.
As a final note, if you do have msg allergies, I would stay away. I do believe they use more than other places, which might make your reaction worse.
