5 stars for a place whose first impression screams, "what health code risks?"
You know you have stumbled onto greatness when you look around and most of the patrons are from the motherland.
Without question, a Vietnamese restaurant's legitimacy is measured by the quality of the ubiquitous pho broth. Da Vang's has all of the earthy, aromatic, citrusy, salty richness that a pho connoisseur seeks when sitting down to a steamy bowl. Add the bean sprouts and torn herbs, a squeeze of lime, and some peppers for hotness, and you are reveling in savory satisfaction.
Truth be told I've been here a dozen times, and despite the allure of the rest of the menu, I have ordered the large bowl of pho every single time.
