Xe Lua, commonly called Train, is a great spot for pho!
It's a relatively new restaurant, but it will instantly be a staple for your weekly restaurant rotations. The spacious interior is clean and bright and you are seated almost immediately, especially during lunch hours.
Pho is their speciality, but they have some great soups and rice dishes as well. My favourite item here is the Tom yum soup broth with fish and vermicelli noodles. It's quite spicy, but very, very delicious.
The dish comes out piping hot and is garnished with coriander. More recently when I visited, I couldn't find this exact item, so it just opted for the soup version with no noodles. Still tastes just as great!
Unfortunately they don't have many vegetarian or fish options, but I do always enjoy my Tom yum soup and can't complain about the service or price!
A great choice if you're in the area and wanting some authentic pho!
