There's a reason why their sign doesn't say "Pho Bar" on the store front. I guess people go for the banh mi and save their pho cravings for else where.
After a cool Sunday stroll around Kensington we felt like soup noodles and pho sounded like it would hit the spot. This place totally missed the target.
Their broth tasted of too much iron and just wasn't pleasant. We ordered the rare beef($9) and house special ($13). The rare beef was too lean like another yelper mentioned and as a result, was tough. The house special came with the tough rare beef, brisket that was like chewing threw leather, chicken that had no business being there (bland, mealy texture), and beef tendon balls which, I guess, were just from frozen. The noodle was actually the only thing that was well prepared. It was al dente like I like it but there wasn't much of it. Also the portion is between a small and medium from other places.
This was so disappointing and I hope they improve or get rid of it from their menu.
What saved this pho experience from getting 1 star instead of 2 was the service. The server and chef who was very nice and attentive.
