i'm sooooo used to pho saigon 8 and pho kim long, that this place doesn't cut it for me. after our tuesday night gathering a bunch of us like to eat dinner together, so about 10-15 group, we get seated really quickly after 10pm. between my boyfriend and i we tried whatever # pho that's well done meat and pork vermicelli. the broth for the pho tasted really rich in MSG and not fresh. as for the pork vermicelli, the noodles were sticky and tasted a day old. i'm not sure why but both dishes tasted not fresh. as many times we have come here with our big group of friends/family i haven't been impressed chance after chance.. i give two stars for the speedy service and quick seating. =/
