| - Take out order: spring rolls, and rice dishes.
Place: dark, hidden, plenty of parking, modern decor, ample space, kid friendly (they have booster seats), clean.
Staff: I picked up take out so haven't interacted enough with any staff.
Food: First of all, the spring rolls were very good, crispy and not overly greasy, filling was meaty, over all roll wasn't too think which made it easier to eat. Came with small salad and nice nuoc mam (fish sauce). The nuoc mam was good, not too salty but definitely full flavoured, well balanced sweet and tartness, very good, not too watered down like some other places.
The rice dishes were accompanied by soup/broth!!! Excellent! Too many places skip this very important step, thank you Pho Anise! Broth was not the beef pho broth, tastes like a chicken soup, but it was good with the rice.
Grilled chicken was good, well flavoured, nicely cooked. Steamed egg had faux crab meat in it, I've never seen that before, wasn't bad, just new to me. Decent tasting. The grilled pork chop was not good. Too bland, needs more marinating. Rice was great, fish sauce good, salad was decent, but tomatoes were a bit old. Fried egg was medium-well, I think the yolk could have been more softer or runny for better mixing with the rice.
Overall a good meal, we will be back to dine-in and try the pho next time.
